The NFL has ruled that Monday's Buffalo Bills at Cincinnati Bengals game, which was postponed after Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest following a first-quarter hit, will be ruled a no-contest.
The game carried significant AFC postseason seeding implications, and the NFL has released a memo (h/t ESPN's Adam Schefter) outlining the playoff possibilities now that the matchup will not be continued. Of note, the AFC Championship Game may be held at a neutral site.
