The NFL is still unsure of how it will handle resuming the game between the Cincinnati Bengals and Buffalo Bills, league officials said on Wednesday. Here’s what you need to know:<\/p>\n
GO DEEPER<\/p>\n
Bengals coach says team is focused on Sunday while supporting players<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
The game was suspended after Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field during the first quarter of the teams’ matchup on \u201cMonday Night Football.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hamlin is in critical condition in a Cincinnati hospital after he collapsed and went into cardiac arrest on the field although the Bills have reported \u201csigns of improvement\u201d in his condition.<\/p>\n
In the last two days, Vincent said the league’s focus has centered completely on \u201cthe health and well-being of Damar first and foremost,\u201d and secondly, supporting the Bills and Bengals coaching staffs and players and making sure they have the resources to ensure optimal mental health.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just literally began this morning, diving into that \u2026 hope to dive full steam ahead into that after this call.\u201d<\/p>\n
NFL officials have some experience finagling schedules thanks to the experiences of the 2020 COVID-19 season. And Vincent said those \u201cguiding principles\u201d could come into play as he, commissioner Roger Goodell and others determine how to handle this game, which did have some implications for first place in the AFC, which Buffalo currently leads, followed closely by Kansas City and then Cincinnati.<\/p>\n
But Vincent reiterated that there is no immediate timeline for determining how to proceed.<\/p>\n
