In case it wasn't clear enough, Bengals running back Joe Mixon reminded everyone how those in Cincinnati feel about coin flips, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Mixon trolled the NFL with a coin flip touchdown celebration following his score in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. After Mixon scored on a 1-yard touchdown run, he pulled a coin out of a glove and flipped it in the end zone, followed with an emphatic kick through the air after it landed.

The celebration comes on a day when Cincinnati could lose a potential home playoff game with a coin flip. On Friday, the NFL approved a resolution from the competition committee that states the site of a potential Baltimore-Cincinnati wild-card game could come down to a coin flip. The changes were made after Monday's game between the Bengals and Buffalo Bills was canceled because of Bills safety Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest.

Cincinnati's players, coaches and front office were all incensed about the possibility of not playing a home game at Paycor Stadium despite winning the AFC North title.

On Thursday, Mixon tweeted out a section of the rulebook that pertained to playoff seeding in the wake of canceled games. Bengals executive vice president Katie Blackburn sent a memo to all clubs to vote against the proposal that was eventually approved, according to ESPN's Seth Wickersham. And on Friday, Bengals coach Zac Taylor lashed out about the rule changes.

"But it seems like there's positives for a lot of teams and just negatives for us," Taylor said. "So we have the opportunity to play for a coin flip. That can only negatively impact us. We don't have the opportunity to play for a coin flip that will positively impact us."
