.NFL outlines potential AFC playoff modifications following BuffaloBills-Bengals cancellation
The game, which was suspended after Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed halfway through the first quarter, was pivotal to AFC playoff seeding, but with the first round of the playoffs nine days away, the NFL felt there was no time to complete the game. The Bills and Bengals will have only played 16 games at the end of the regular season, compared to the rest of the league playing 17 games, leading to the league's decision to make special changes.
The two outlined elements agreed to by the league's competition committee call for the AFC championship game to be held at a neutral site in select scenarios, and for the venue of a potential Bengals and Baltimore Ravens wild card playoff game to be determined by a coin flip if Baltimore defeats Cincinnati in their game Sunday.
There are three scenarios that would call for a neutral site AFC championship. The first would be if both the Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs win or tie their games in week 18, and the AFC championship is between the two teams. The second scenario would be if both the Bills and the Chiefs lose in week 18, the Ravens win or tie in week 18, and the AFC championship is between the Bills and the Chiefs.
