The NFL finally provided clarity surrounding kickoff time between the Ravens and Bengals. On Wednesday, the NFL set game time for 1p.m. ET.
There were questions surrounding when this game would be played after the Bengals’ showdown with the Bills was cut short on Monday night due to Damar Hamlin’s medical situation. Much of that decision had to do with the outcome of the Bengals and Bills and Cincinnati’s record heading into Week 18.. Since that game won’t be played this week, the NFL made a determination.

While the NFL has not yet announced its plans to continue (or cancel) the Week 17 game between Cincinnati and Buffalo, the Bengals will have to play on without knowing the fate of their potential first-round bye in the playoffs.
Cincinnati can still clinch the AFC North Division with a win over the Ravens on Sunday, but it is unclear how the NFL will handle the No. 1 seed in the AFC until a decision is made on the suspended Bengals-Bills game.
For the time being, the Bengals will just look to beat the opponent in front of them, while the Ravens are still fighting to possibly win the AFC North (depending on the result of the Bengals-Bills game) or a chance to move up one playoff seed — from sixth to fifth — with a win and a Chargers loss to the Broncos.
Star quarterback Lamar Jackson is still sidelined with a knee injury and has not returned to practice, leaving backup quarterback Tyler Huntley in line to make his fifth-consecutive start.
