I don't think the league wants a game that results in hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines, in multiple players being carted off the field, a game that is basic mayhem. The place we watch the games is not filled with Bengals fans, and I don't live near Bengals fans. I can tell you that the people I know, the people who don't root for either team, describe the recent games as insanity... basically one step above WWE. The league, and every owner, is about one thing... making money. I personally do not believe the league wants this.
Problem is, rivalries like this drive ratings - which in turn drives revenue. People tune in just to see the mayhem whether they cheer for either team or not. Bit of a conundrum for the league.
