When the NFL released its Week 18 schedule on Monday, it left one TBD slot for the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals. The determination on whether or not the game would kick at 10 AM PT or 1:25 PM PT was dependent on the outcome of the Bengals’ Monday night matchup with the Buffalo Bills, which was suspended following Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s on-field cardiac arrest .<\/p>\n
With no decision yet on whether Bills-Bengals will be resumed, the league announced on Wednesday that the Ravens-Bengals will air at 10 AM PT, simultaneously with the New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n
This is an important decision to note because the Los Angeles Chargers play the Denver Broncos at 1:25 PM PT, and the Chargers are still playing for the #5 seed and a road game against the AFC South champion. If the Ravens lose to the Bengals, the Chargers already have the #5 seed secured. If the Bengals lose then they would be 11-5 but the Ravens would still be behind Cincinnati in the AFC North race given Cincinnati has obviously played one fewer game. In theory that means the Chargers could still be inclined to play starters.<\/p>\n
Chargers head coach Brandon Staley told media on Wednesday that the outcome of the Ravens-Bengals will inform them of how they’ll approach the Broncos game.<\/p>\n
\nHC Brandon Staley indicated the result of the Ravens game Sunday will impact how the #Chargers<\/a> approach their regular-season finale vs. Denver In other words, if they don’t have to win some regulars won’t play much or not at all.<\/p>\n
