Following up on
the ongoing story. ... It's not official:
NFL owners approved the resolution modifying this year’s playoffs.
The possibility of a neutral-site AFC Championship Game, and a coin flip to determine where a Ravens-Bengals wild-card game would take place, depending in part on what happens in Week 18.
The Ravens-Bengals coin flip for game site applies to only one scenario:
Baltimore wins Sunday, completing a season sweep of the AFC North champions
Baltimore is the 6 seed (not the 5)
Baltimore and Cincinnati meet in a wild-card game (not any other round).
A source tells Profootballtalk.com's Mike Florio the proposal to change the rule regarding the implications of a canceled game got 25 yes votes. It needed 24. 3-4 voted no and the rest abstained.
