As soon as the NFL officially announced the cancellation of Bills vs. Bengals, it was clear teams would be compromising with regards to AFC seeding.The Larry Nance Jersey  Bengals, however, clearly weren't prepared for the amount of potential compromising they'd have to deal with if certain events unfold.Damar Hamlin is very much in the hearts and minds of NFL players, coaches, and fans, but Week 18 is going to be played as normal. And because of a provision that was pa sed by the NFL Friday, Bengals vs. Ravens Dean Wade Jersey  on Sunday has become one of the most important games on the schedule.Per the provision, if the Bengals lose to the Ravens and the Chargers defeat the Broncos, the Bengals could lose home field advantage on Wild Card Weekend despite winning the AFC North by half a game (Bengals: 11-5 vs. Ravens: 11-6). in that event, the Bengals would win the division based on win percentage, but lose the tiebreaker.MORE:Bengals coach Zac Taylor sounded off against the NFL's approved proposition in no uncertain terms on Friday.It seems like theres positives for a lot of teams and negatives for us," LeBron James Jersey  . He also said Bengals Executive Vice President Katie Blackburn sent out a memo asking to turn the proposal down, because no one on the league's side was advocating for Cincinnati."As far as Im concerned, we just want the rules to be followed," , per Baby. "When a games canceled, you just turn to winning percentage to clarify everything so we dont have to make up the rules."However, Taylor did add a bit of an edge,  Ante Zizic Jersey saying the Bengals could handle it."Let us play 7 home games and 9 road games and then try to take a home playoff game away... that's what this team is built for," .Bengals running back Joe Mixon also called out the proposal on Thursday, before it was approved:So we not following the rules no more  Primetime!!! (@Joe_MainMixon) The Bengals are frustrated because they feel, by virtue of win percentage, they should be the outright AFC North winners no matter what the outcome, and the NFL is implementing a tiebreaker that doesn' Jarrett Allen Jersey t need to be implemented.Taylor is clearly frustrated with this result, but it looks like this is the course the NFL has chosen to take. If the Bengals win Sunday, then this is all moot. If they lose, however, there's going to be a lot of hand wringing until the NFL flips that coin.
