The Ravens might not know the stakes of Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Bengals. But they at least know when they’ll be playing.
Their Week 18 game at Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium will kick off at 1 p.m., the NFL announced Wednesday, ending two days of uncertainty.
A 4:25 p.m. kickoff was also possible after the Ravens’ loss Sunday to the Pittsburgh Steelers, but the league’s decision to suspend Monday night’s Cincinnati Bengals-Buffalo Bills game in the wake of Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest left some of its Week 18 scheduling in flux.
The Bengals (11-4) would clinch their second straight AFC North title with a win Sunday, while a Ravens win Sunday could move them within a half-game of Cincinnati in the division standings. With Cincinnati not set to resume its game against Buffalo this week, it’s unclear what path the Ravens (10-6) might have to an AFC North crown and a potential home playoff game.
