(Update: Jan. 5, 3:23 p.m.): According to a report, the Bills and Bengals not resume their Week 17 matchup.
The NFL is also still figuring out how to handle postseason seeding with the contest unlikely to be resumed:
Previously coverage:
The Bills, Bengals, and rest of the NFL world have their hearts and minds on the uncertainty surrounding Damar Hamlin.
Hamlin, 24, suffered cardiac arrest on Monday during the game between the two teams. He remains in critical condition, however, there have been some slightly positive updates as of late–Although, there is still a long ways to go.
The actual status of the game to be played isn’t on the forefront of everyone’s mind. Hamlin’s health is.
However, the NFL is going to have to cross that bridge at some point. The league already postponed the contest for the remainder of the week, but from there, what options do they have?
NFL Network broke some of those down and their update can be found in the clip below:
