The Cincinnati Bengals fought hard against the National Football League's updated playoff-scenario proposal - per The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway - approved Friday by league owners.
And while the team was outspoken about its criticism of a ruling that seems unfair, there appears to be nothing the Bengals - AFC North champions for the second consecutive season - can do about it.
Of course, they could beat the Ravens on Sunday - and avoid any potential coin-toss nonsense. Which is exactly what center Ted Karras has in mind.
"Let's settle it the real way and (bleeping) win," Karras shouted as players were interviewed Friday in the team's locker room.
