Cool I guess.... won't count it in my book unless we beat the Ravens this week.
Such a screw job by the NFL

Is it though? NFL.com standings do not show the Bengals having clinched the division.

Don’t even get a home game even though we started 0-2 and got hot right at the perfect time

Meh. Honestly I don’t really care at this point. They have to beat Baltimore for it to matter, and I would imagine that they feel the same way.

I've always thought while the division title is 'cool' since it means you finished ahead of your biggest rivals, the reason it's celebrated moreso is that home game.
While I think we were the more likely to take the division under normal circumstances, by no means was it guaranteed. Not even close. This definitely feels like a 'whatever' achievement to me.
Feel a lot better if the beat the Ravens, secure that home game, and prove ourselves undeniable AFCN champions that way though.

I guess we go on tour and our last stop will be Glendale, Arizona.

If we lose to a subpar Baltimore twice, it will feel very hollowing and could wreck our SB hopes

I guess at least if we lose to Baltimore on Sunday and then lose the coin flip, we can put out shirts that say 'We won the AFC North and all we got was this stupid shirt/hat/article of clothing'.

this is why I was always on the "division titles dont matter" train for this season. Division titles mean nothing. Except if you like banners and merch
either get the bye week, or rest your starters week 18
Now neither of those will be happening
