The Cincinnati Bengals will be looking to secure at least 1 home playoff game when they entertain the AFC North rival Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon. Cincinnati was in contention for the conference's #1 seed prior to the cancellation of last week's Monday Night Football game against the Buffalo Bills, but now #2 is the best it can do. The only way the Bengals would not host in the first round is if they lose to the Ravens on Sunday and there is an immediate rematch in the playoffs. In that case the postseason showdown would be held at a neutral site.'
