Much has been made about the possible coin toss between the Bengals and the Ravens after the NFL’s owners passed a resolution in the wake of Damar Hamlin’s medical emergency that could see Cincinnati’s and Baltimore’s chances of hosting a home playoff game reduced to a 50–50 split.
Bengals running back Joe Mixon was acutely aware of that possibility when he took the field on Sunday for the AFC North regular-season finale. When he broke through and found the end zone in the first quarter, he made his thoughts on the coin toss crystal clear, trolling the idea with his touchdown celebration.
After his score, Mixon took the advice of former Bengals star Chad Johnson by taking a coin out of his glove and flipping it in the air. He was joined by a few of his teammates in awaiting the result of the toss before the group ran away in celebration.
