A familiar face will be the Cincinnati Bengals' Ruler of the Jungle on Sunday.

Former Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh will be the honorary leader for the pregame festivities before the Bengals take on the Baltimore Ravens in the wild-card round at Paycor Stadium on Sunday Night Football.

The Bengals drafted Houshmandzadeh in the seventh round of the 2001 NFL draft, and he played for Cincinnati from 2001-2008 before playing for the Seattle Seahawks, Ravens and Oakland Raiders. He holds the team record for most receptions in a single season.

After playing last week in a game that resulted in a 27-16 Bengals victory, the Bengals-Ravens rematch will be Sunday, Jan. 15 at 8:15 p.m. ET on NBC's Sunday Night Football. The Bengals' Week 18 win ensured a home playoff game, so no coin toss is required.
