The NFL’s Thursday announcement regarding AFC playoff seeding in the wake of cancelling the Bills-Bengals game has apparently drawn the ire of Joe Mixon, who shared his thoughts on the news on social media.
The Bengals star running back took to Twitter to weigh in on the new set of possible scenarios his team now faces heading into a home meeting against the Ravens to close the regular season. The NFL has spent the past few days trying to figure out the best way to approach the playoff seeding for Buffalo and Cincinnati after their game was unexpectedly stopped when Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on Monday night; Hamlin has since shown signs of improvement in his ongoing recovery.
“So we not following the rules no more,” a curious Mixon tweeted Thursday night, along with screenshots of the NFL’s game operations manual and a breakdown of the competitive policy for cancelled games.
