NFL Announces Bengals-Ravens Will Play In Early Window

The timing question has been answered amidst Monday night's tragedy.

CINCINNATI — The NFL announced that Bengals-Ravens in Week 18 is kicking off at 1 p.m. ET.

The league made it clear this past weekend that if this contest was for the AFC North, then it would get played at 4:25 p.m. ET and if it was not for the division title, then they would play at 1 p.m. ET.

If the Bills game is not resumed, Cincinnati cannot finish with a worse winning % than Baltimore, meaning they are the AFC North Champions.

Now, the league announced all of this before the Damar Hamlin incident, so this does not confirm the Bills' game is completely cancelled. They have not determined the fate of Monday's postponed battle, but this could be a sign of the final decision.

"That conversation about what we do with [the Bills-Bengals] game has begun," NFL executive vice president Jeff Miller told Tom Pelissero on Wednesday.
