NEW: NFL cancels Week 17 Bills-Bengals game
The game was canceled in part because not finishing the game would have "no effect on which clubs qualify for the postseason," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statementIt could affect the Bengals and the Baltimore Ravens if both teams were scheduled to meet in the Wild Card game.
The NFL said it would use a neutral site if needed for the AFC championship game, and a coin-toss to decide where a Bengals-Ravens game would be played.The 24-year-old was still "critically ill" but appears to be neurologically intact, his team"As we considered the football schedule, our principles have been to limit disruption across the league and minimize competitive inequities," Goodell said.
"I recognize that there is no perfect solution. The proposal we are asking the ownership to consider, however, addresses the most significant potential equitable issues created by the difficult, but necessary, decision not to play the game under these extraordinary circumstances," he added.
