There are two different set of rules involving the Bengals.
If the Bengals finish one-half game ahead of the Ravens, then they are subject to a coin flip to determine home field.
If the Chiefs finish one-half game ahead of the Bengals, in the case of a 2-seed (Chiefs) against a 3-seed (Bengals), then the Chiefs are not subject to a coin toss for the 2 vs 3 game. That game would be at Arrowhead.
No one makes up two different rules unwittingly. That was a conscious decision.
Furthermore, no one considers that the 1/2 game difference is because the Bengals lost a home game. The Ravens and Chiefs had an extra home game.
