The NFL has decided to cancel the Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals game, the league announced Thursday night...days after Monday Night Football was postponed following Damar Hamlin's medical emergency.

Week 17 match will NOT be made up.

Of course, the game was postponed by the league on Monday night after a terrifying incident involving the safety of the 24-year-old Bills.

The cancellation throws a spanner in the playoffs...as the Bills-Bengals game had major playoff implications.

In an effort to mitigate any advantage, the league offered several options...including potentially playing the AFC Championship game at a neutral site, removing any home field advantage.

Damar Hamlin asked the nurse who won the Bills-Bengals game, the condition is improving

The problem is that the Bills-Bengals matchup could have determined who the No. 1 seed was...important not only because that team would have home court, but also a first-round bye.

There are 3 potential scenarios where the AFC Championship game would be played in a neutral zone. These scenarios depend on the Week 18 games, but it's probably a Buffalo vs. Kansas City game...
