Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon just trolled the NFL and the Baltimore Ravens at the same time with one simple move.

After scoring a touchdown and putting the Bengals up by two possessions, Mixon took a coin hidden in his glove and flipped it in the end zone as teammates intently watched.

The NFL's decision to potentially determine home-field advantage with a coin toss if the Ravens beat the Bengals in Week 18 was met with resistance from the Bengals' front office and coaching staff.

Zac Taylor showed his frustration with the league's decision claiming the NFL rulebook is "black and white" and that winning percentage should be the criteria used to determine the host (which would benefit the Bengals who were already technically crowned as AFC North champions).

All the Bengals need to avoid the controversial scenario is to beat the Ravens and secure home-field advantage. At the time of this writing, Cincinnati leads the game 17-0.

The fact that Joe Mixon's troll fulfills Chad Ochocinco's request for the celebration on Twitter makes it even sweeter for Bengals fans.
