The NFL announced Thursday evening it will not resume the Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati Bengals game that was suspended Monday night after Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest.

These"key factors" were included in the decision:

Not playing the Buffalo-Cincinnati game to its conclusion will have no effect on which clubs qualify for the postseason. No club would qualify for the postseason and no club will be eliminated based on the outcome of this game. It would require postponing the start of the playoffs for one week, thereby affecting all 14 clubs that qualify for postseason play.

Making the decision prior to Week 18 is consistent with our competitive principles and enables all clubs to know the playoff possibilities prior to playing the final weekend of regular season games.
