Damar Hamlin’s teammates, coaches will ‘guide’ NFL’s decision on whether to play Patriots game

The NFL is planning to proceed with its Week 18 schedule following the on-field collapse of Bills safety Damar Hamlin earlier this week.

However, in a tragic and uncertain situation like this, things can change.

The Bills are scheduled to play the Patriots on Sunday at 1 p.m. in Buffalo. NFL executive Vice President Troy Vincent told reporters that the league hasn’t ruled out postponing the game, according to Ben Volin of The Boston Globe.

“We’ll allow Sean [McDermott] and his team and his staff and the players, which are the most important things here, to guide us if we have to make that decision,” said Vincent.
