The NFL will not resume the infamous game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals that was suspended Monday night after Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field.
The Associated Press broke the news on Thursday.
The NFL is “still figuring out how to determine playoff seedings and scheduling,” the AP said. The NFL Players Association must approve any changes.
Buffalo needed a win to maintain the No. 1 spot in the AFC, which they now lose to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bengals had a chance to earn the top seed with two wins in the two final weeks and a Chiefs loss.
Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest and collapsed on the field. He received CPR in front of his Bills teammates.
Hamlin shocked the world by showing good neurological recovery and “overall clinical improvement” on Thursday.
“It’s been a long and difficult road for the last three days. He has been very sick and has made a fairly remarkable recovery and improvement to the point, as Tim noted, he has now demonstrated that sign of good neurological recovery as well as overall clinical improvement as previously reported, related to not just his vital signs but his individual organ recovery,” Hamlin’s doctor said in the press conference.
The NFL has yet to comment on the report.
