CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals will host the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football at Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati with major playoff implications on the line for both teams.

The Bengals are currently the No. 3 seed in the AFC and in first place by a game and half over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North. The Ravens lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 16-13, Sunday Night in Baltimore.
If Cincinnati beats Buffalo, they would clinch the AFC North for the second straight season. They would also move up to the No. 2 seed ahead of Buffalo with a win.
Should the Bengals lose, they would remain a game ahead of the Baltimore and the two teams would play Sunday in Cincinnati with the division title on the line.
The Bills enter the game as the current No. 2 seed in the AFC behind the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Chiefs are currently the No. 1 seed after Sunday’s win over Denver and would get home field advantage in the playoffs and a first round bye if the playoffs started today.
If Buffalo wins, they match the Chiefs’ record at 13-3 and would be the No. 1 seed because they beat Kansas City earlier in the season.
Kickoff between the Bengals and Bills is scheduled for 8:15 p.m.
