In the wake of the hospitalization of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin during Monday Night Football, NFL vice president of operations Troy Vincent said the league is leaving all options on the table regarding the schedule. That could include pushing the conference title games into the bye week before the Super Bowl, which Vincent did not rule out during a conference call with reporters on Wednesday.
First and foremost, Vincent said the league has been checking in with the Bills and head coach Sean McDermott to gauge the team’s mindset and offer whatever resources are necessary as the team processes Hamlin’s battle and continues to support his family.
