Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium selected as neutral-site host for potential Bills-Chiefs AFC Championship Game

The NFL has reached its official resolution on where they will play a potential neutral venue AFC Championship Game if circumstances dictate that as a necessity in the coming weeks.

Atlanta and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium have been chosen as the setting if the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs were to meet to decide the AFC Super Bowl representative.

If a neutral site AFC Championship Game is played between Buffalo and Kansas City, it now will be held in Atlanta.

This scenario is the NFL’s resolution to the cancellation of the Bills-Bengals Monday Night Football game in Week 17 following the scary medical situation involving Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who was taken off the field in an ambulance and transported to a nearby Cincinnati hospital following an on-field collapse.
