NFL player Damar Hamlin in critical condition after collapsing on field

Both the Bills and Bengals have already secured places in the NFL's playoffs, but the game was important for both teams as they sought to get the number-one seed in the AFC.

That would bring a bye and home field advantage throughout the post-season. The NFL regular season is scheduled to end on Sunday with the playoffs starting the following weekend.
