Bengals win 8th straight game; playoffs up next: Social media reacts

The Cincinnati Bengals won their eighth straight game Sunday, beating the Baltimore Ravens 27-16 in the regular-season finale for both teams at Paycor Stadium.

The AFC North-champion Bengals (12-4) will host the Ravens (10-7) in a wild-card playoff game next weekend. The schedule will be announced Sunday night.

Here’s a sampling of the reaction on social media to the Bengals’ win:

Bengals avoid the downside of the NFL's rules, but the upside the team wanted doesn't come into play in potential divisional round matchups.

Back-to-back AFC North championships is cool.

Now you just control what you can control in the playoffs and leave the rest behind.

FINAL: #Bengals 27, Ravens 16.

There will be no coin toss. But there will be a rematch here next week.

This was far from conclusive against a Ravens team sitting a few starters and playing Anthony Brown, but still shirts and hats in the locker room.

Eight in a row. 12-4.

Ted Karras said he gets a lot of credit but that Alex Cappa is the driving force for this offensive line #Bengals
