The NFL has decided not to resume Monday night’s game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, according to the Associated Press. The game was suspended after Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest after a tackle in the first quarter.
The news come after doctors announced that Hamlin has made “substantial improvement” in his recovery. The 24-year-old Bills safety is moving his hands and feet, communicating through writing, and appears to have all his neurological function intact, doctors said.
The NFL has yet to make an official announcement about the Bills-Bengals game, a decision that could have a big impact on the AFC playoffs. The game could be declared a tie, or the league could turn to winning percentage, and not records, to determine the AFC’s top playoff seed.
