Some Bengals players are still dealing with the mental effects of watching Damar Hamlin nearly die on the field on Monday.
According to Bengals QB Joe Burrow, several Bengals players have discussed not playing their week 18 game vs the Ravens. Burrow goes on to say that if they took a poll today, the results would be mixed.
Joe Burrow said there were side discussions about not playing Sunday vs. Ravens but nothing as a whole team. He said if you polled the locker room it would be mixed votes.
Burrow says personally he wants to play even though it’ll be tough. Other teammates may feel otherwise.

The NFL is currently trying to figure out what to do with the result of the unplayed Bills-Bengals game.
One idea is to call the game a no contest and then determining seeding via a “random number generator”.
