The Bengals still have an outside chance at the 2nd seed (according to a poster on here who analyzed tie breakers), but I'm not sure it wouldn't be better, if that's the case, to play the starters for one-half (they only played 9 minutes on Monday, and only 7 offensive snaps), try and get a lead, and then pull our starters the second half, as long as the Ravens are going without their key players. 

That is what I would do.

Just saying it is more likely we get the 3 seed and the 2 seed isn't in play if they declare this game a No Contest.

But yeah, there is a slight chance at the 2 seed.
