The canceled game, which was originally postponed after Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed and was hospitalized due to cardiac arrest suffered at Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium, had significant AFC playoff implications.
A league announcement on Thursday night provided clarity on what that means for the AFC playoff picture.
