The Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns don’t exactly have the most noteworthy matchup in the rivalry's history set to take place this Sunday.

The Bengals have the AFC North locked up after taking down the Kansas City Chiefs last week. The Browns were also eliminated after that win and their subsequent loss to Pittsburgh. Because of that, we won’t see Joe Burrow (rest) or Baker Mayfield (shoulder surgery).

What we should be able to see as Bengals fans is some young guys we haven’t seen much of this season. One of the bigger offensive names to keep an eye out for is rookie running back Chris Evans. He looks like he could easily become a bigger part of this offense in years to come with his ability to pass block and make plays as a pass-catcher.

We will see more of the young offensive linemen this team has been attempting to cultivate as well. Jackson Carman will start at left guard, and D’Ante Smith may get some more plays.

There is still some seeding movement that can be done this week. Currently, the Bengals are the No. 3 seed. If the Bengals were to win they secure the third seed, which could come into play in the Divisional round of the playoffs pending results of the Wild Card round.

If they lose, the worst off Cincinnati can be is the fourth seed because they won the division. They also have a very obscure route to the No. 2 seed, but because that seed doesn’t guarantee a bye week anymore, so it isn’t worth fighting for as much.

Essentially, the Bengals are still playing for something. It is just more their chances of hosting an additional playoff game if they were to win during the Wild Card round. The bigger deal was them earning what is amounting to a bye week in Week 18 to get a little more healthy for the playoffs.

For a team that has been seemingly fighting for their lives since the bye week, this has to be a pretty sweet moment for those veterans. It has to be almost equally exciting for some of the bench players to get out there and actually play while getting some additional film of themselves for coaches to evaluate this offseason.
