Bengals’ Mixon celebrates TD with coin flip

Associated Press  

CINCINNATI — Joe Mixon and the Cincinnati Bengals were still flipping out Sunday over the NFL’s plan to determine home-field advantage in the playoffs. Mixon mocked the NFL’s decision to use a coin flip as a tiebreaker Sunday by celebrating a 1-yard touchdown run against the Baltimore Ravens by taking a coin out of his glove and flicking it. The league decided to add a coin flip to settle a potential playoff scenario after Monday night’s game between the Bengals and Buffalo Bills was declared a no-contest when Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest on the field. Under the NFL’s ruling, if Baltimore beat AFC North champion Cincinnati on Sunday and the two teams ended up playing each other in the first round of the playoffs, a coin flip would be used to determine the home team.
