Cincinnati celebrates as Bengals prepare to host playoff game in rematch with Baltimore
The Cincinnati Bengals celebrated after clinching a home playoff game - no coin toss required - and rematch with the Baltimore Ravens after Sunday's 27-16 win at Paycor Stadium.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow responded to a question after the game about the team's Super Bowl window by saying, "The window is my whole career. … The window is always open."
The AFC North champions are hoping for the best with Alex Cappa's left ankle injury. The starting right guard was carted off after requiring assistance leaving the field.
The Bengals' Joe Mixon had fun with the NFL and its updated playoff-scenario rules by tossing a coin in the end zone to celebrate a first-half touchdown.

Joe Mixon told me he went to Party Source in northern Kentucky to buy 4 boxes of cigars to give out to his teammates if they won today to celebrate winning the AFC North again this year #Bengals
