It's still super simple, beat the Ravens and host a playoff game. All the angst around here for nothing. 

Not just around here: ESPN has a front-page article titled: "Sources: Bengals livid coin might take away home-field edge;

 Here is the money quote: "The league told Cincinnati it should be happy it has been declared the AFC North winner, but the Bengals were furious the rules were changed on the fly and their playoff path intentionally altered."


T"he Cincinnati organization feels as if the Ravens have been given enhanced opportunities that the Bengals were not and believes it has been treated unfairly by the league. Cincinnati voted against the new playoff scenario that other NFL owners approved on a Zoom call Friday.  The Bengals not only voted no but also voiced their intense opposition to the league -- to no avail"

I don't know why some posters think changing the rules is no big deal. The actual Bengals organization and players do.
