The pivotal Bills-Bengals game was suspended Monday night after Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin collapsed and went into cardiac arrest while making a tackle in the first quarter.
- The NFL is still considering various options following the suspension of the Bills-Bengals game, including possibly eliminating the bye week before the Super Bowl.
The league hasn’t had discussions about postponing the Bills-Patriots game, which has playoff implications. The AFC East champion Bills are vying for the No. 1 seed. The Patriots would clinch a wild-card berth with a win. “It’s really important that we just keep the pulse of the coach and the players, and don’t get in front of that,” an emotional Vincent said. “And we’ll allow Sean and his team and his staff and the players, which are the most important thing here, to guide us if we have to make that decision collectively with the club and what’s best for Sean and his team and the players.”
The Bengals have a one-game lead over Baltimore in the AFC North and also are in the mix for the top seed. The Kansas City Chiefs surpassed the Bills for the No. 1 seed, pending the result of Buffalo’s game against Cincinnati. Other scenarios include playing the Bills-Bengals game and the NFC wild-card games on the same weekend and pushing the start of the AFC playoffs back one week. That also would eliminate the bye week before the Super Bowl.
