1. Why Do We Always Get The Bengals In Finale?

Is there a rule that the Ravens have to play the Bengals in week 17. It’s a nice change of pace that it’s in Baltimore, but it’s unfair that the Steelers always finish the season against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are a perennial loser. The Bengals are usually competitive. Division foes make week 17 more competitive, but the match ups should change.

The Ravens begin the season, the same way they end it, with the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals look like a team set up for a nightmare season, but you can’t take anything for granted in the AFC North. The fact that the Bengals have had the Ravens number over the past several seasons should concern Ravens fans. With a good draft, the Bengals may turn things around too.

I’m not saying the NFL is showing the Steelers favoritism, but I doubt Pittsburgh fans are complaining about their annual week 17 game against the Browns.
