The NFL finally provided clarity surrounding kickoff time for Ravens vs. Bengals. On Wednesday, the NFL set it for 1 p.m. ET.

There were questions about when this game would be played after the Bengals' showdown with the Bills on Monday night was cut short due to Damar Hamlin's medical situation. Much of the decision this wekk had to do with the outcome of the Bengals-Bills and Cincinnati's record heading into Week 18.

The league later canceled the Buffalo-Cincinnati game, which gave the Bengals the AFC North title but also took away an opportunity to earn the No. 1 seed in the conference.

Now, the Bengals will play for the No. 2 seed (it can finish no worse than No. 3), while the Ravens will fight move up one playoff seed — from sixth to fifth — with a win and a Chargers loss to the Broncos.

Star quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has been ruled out for the game, leaving backup Tyler Huntley to make a fifth consecutive start.
