Joe Mixon, running back for the Cincinnati Bengals, did a coin-flip celebration after scoring a touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens at the Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday.
Joe Burrow and co took a 16-0 lead in the second quarter.
Mixon went down the left and stopped in the endzone, advancing one yard, completing a 48-yard drive and scoring the game’s first touchdown. His coin-flip celebration was a dig at NFL’s rule, as per which, they’ll be subjected to a coin toss that could give the Ravens home-field advantage over the third-seeded, AFC North champions if a playoff rematch happens in the Wild Card round.
The NFL altered the rules for the playoffs after the Bengals-Bills game Monday was canceled following the collapse of Buffalo’s Damar Hamlin.

The Bengals have been verbal about their disappointment about the coin flip.
Watch Mixon’s celebration:
“The thing I appreciate — and the way I understand it — the No. 1 consideration was Damar Hamlin, his health and his family. That’s why the game was originally postponed and then eventually canceled,” Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said Friday.
“Then, after that, there’s 100 considerations, in terms of logistics, competitive fairness, fans, all the partners involved with the league. All those things I’m sure were taken into account. So, I’m just like, ‘Well, I can’t think about all that. We’re thinking about the Bengals and the playoffs.’”
Baltimore had a chance to win the AFC North if Cincinnati lost the Bills game and then lost again to the Ravens (10-6) this Sunday, but since the Buffalo-Cincinnati game wasn’t played to completion, the Bengals (11-4) are now assured of a higher winning percentage than Baltimore
