The NFL announced Wednesday that discussions are ongoing about whether to resume the Week 17 Buffalo-Cincinnati game, which was postponed after Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest during the first quarter.
If the league declares the Monday night game a no-contest - or says it's canceled and will not resume - the announcement would clinch the AFC North title for the Bengals.
The Bengals are 11-4, and the Ravens are 10-6. So even if Baltimore wins at Cincinnati in Week 18, the Ravens would finish 11-6, 1/2 game behind the 11-5 Bengals in the AFC North standings.
The NFL has said the Bills-Bengals game won't be resumed this week. The league also announced that Baltimore and Cincinnati will play Sunday at 1 p.m.
