Bengals beat Ravens in regular-season finale | Live updates

The Cincinnati Bengals (11-4) host the Baltimore Ravens (10-6) in their NFL Week 18 regular-season finale with playoff seeding and homefield advantage in the Wild Card round on the line. The game will be broadcast on Local 12 and kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Cincinnati needs to win today to avoid a coin-flip scenario where Baltimore could potentially host the Bengals in the Wild Card round. That was decided Friday when the NFL owners approved the league's revised playoff plans due to the Bengals-Bills game being canceled after Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field during Monday's game. The revised plans also include a possible neutral site hosting the AFC Championship game if any combination of the Bengals, Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs are involved.
