Bills-Bengals matchup highlights divisional-round slate
The NFL playoffs march on next weekend
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals will meet in the AFC divisional round weeks after their regular-season matchup was ruled a no-contest after Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field.
The Bengals will travel to Buffalo to play the Bills at Highmark Stadium. Their Week 17 matchup was played at Paycor Stadium and was stopped toward the end of the first quarter when Hamlin collapsed on the field after making a tackle on Tee Higgins. Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest and needed his heartbeat restored on the field. He was discharged from the hospital less than two weeks later.
