The Chiefs clinched the No. 1 seed but not necessarily home-field advantage in the AFC title game. Fans and players cheered Hamlin's recovery as the NFL ...

The Chiefs lead the Bills by a half-game in the race for the No. We are grateful for and humbled by all who played a role as he continues on his road to recovery.” But football considerations meant little in recent days after [Hamlin had to be resuscitated on the field by medical personnel](https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/01/03/damar-hamlin-nfl-emergency-action-plan/?itid=lk_inline_manual_44) during Monday night’s game in Cincinnati. The Bills said [in a statement](https://twitter.com/BuffaloBills/status/1611797344390979584) Saturday: “Per the physicians at UC Medical Center, Damar is making continued progress in his recovery yet remains in critical condition. “This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me!” Players on the field joined the fans in the pregame ovation, prompted by an announcement within the stadium. This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me! The Chiefs then drove 98 yards for a touchdown to increase their lead to 21-3 and all but seal the outcome. If the Bills lose Sunday to the Patriots, their prospective meeting with the Chiefs in the AFC championship game would be played in Kansas City. Players on the field in Vegas joined the fans in the pregame ovation, prompted by an announcement within the stadium. Fans in Las Vegas cheered for Hamlin during a pregame show of support for the Buffalo Bills safety and his family. But by week’s end, there were highly encouraging signs in Hamlin’s recovery, and those in and around the sport were feeling a sense of relief.

Take him over 75 yards at plus money and enjoy the day. I think the Jaguars and Titans score some points in this game, and the Jaguars take advantage of Josh Dobbs being the quarterback for the Titans. A longshot, but I like one of these a week and if Mahomes is going to break the record, it can happen against a division rival that is 30th in the NFL in passing yards given up.

“Per the physicians at UC Medical Center, Damar is making continued progress in his recovery yet remains in critical condition. He was resuscitated on the field and hospitalised in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center (UCMC). Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin says the love shown to him after his cardiac arrest in an NFL game has been “overwhelming” as players and coaches continued to show support for the hospitalised player.

That took him past the previous record of 5,562 yards set by former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees in 2011. The Chiefs’ innovative offensive plays featured an unusual move before the penalised wildcat touchdown with the players spinning in a circle, a move Mahomes said was dubbed the “Snowglobe”. After a clever wildcat play for a Kadarius Toney touchdown was ruled out for holding, Toney then compensated by rushing for an 11 yard touchdown on the next play Isiah Pacheco’s one yard rush in the fourth made it 31-6, but the Raiders reduced the deficit with quarterback Jarrett Stidham connecting with Hunter Renfrow with an 11 yard touchdown pass. The top seed spot ensures a first round bye for the Chiefs, who end the regular season with a 14-3 record and are looking for their third Super Bowl appearance in four seasons. Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes set a new record for most total yards in a season as the Chiefs secured the AFC top seed with a 31-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for 212 yards and a touchdown while receiver Christian Kirk led the way with 99 yards and a score.

Buffalo Bills star Damar Hamlin continues to breathe unaided but remains in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

Hamlin went into cardiac arrest and his heart stopped on Monday night after making what appeared to be a routine tackle in the first quarter against the Bengals. “When you put real love out into the world it comes back to you 3x’s as much,” he wrote in his post. Hamlin took a major step forward in his recovery on Friday when he was taken off a ventilator and was able to speak.

Andy Reid is one creative play-caller. He also seems to be an appreciator of "Ring Around the Rosie."

[pic.twitter.com/tMQmjYw2KK] [January 7, 2023] Social media was abuzz after the routine that would've made Alvin Ailey shed a tear.

Whether it's Patrick Mahomes shuffle passes, Patrick Mahomes jump passes or some entirely different form of wizardry we haven't yet been able to identify, they certainly have a flair for creativity. Let's get in formation .

Although he remains in a critical condition, the Buffalo Bills star is breathing on his own and talking.

The NFL also will show support for Hamlin during all Week 18 games, which start Saturday afternoon, including a pregame moment of support, painting Hamlin’s No. The game was initially suspended before officially being cancelled yesterday. READ MORE:

They have won their last four games on the spin without conceding more than 20 points in any of them. A few weeks ago the Philadelphia Eagles looked unstoppable. The Bengals have no chance of topping the AFC. His replacement Malick Willis threw only 99 yards and was turned over twice against Houston, before he was replaced in their last game by Josh Dobbs. 1 seed and a bye in the next round. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence was on fire, throwing 368 yards and three touchdowns. “I’m sure if you polled the locker room there would be mixed votes on that,” he told reporters. Things have been made worse by their situation at quarterback. But like I said, everyone has a different way of dealing with it.” This is also a game of two teams that have recovered from terrible starts (Packers were 3-6 and the Lions were 1-6) to finish the regular season in top form. The Bills will have to play their game against the Patriots (8-8) Sunday knowing that with a win and a Chiefs loss they could still clinch that top spot in the AFC thanks to a higher win percentage. The canceled game leaves the Bills (12-3) – a win behind the Chiefs (13-3) in the hunt for the No.

No. The Seahawks are in playoff position heading into Week 18 but in order to remain there they’ll need a little help. 1 seed with a victory over Arizona AND an Eagles loss to the Giants. The Bills can clinch the top seed in the AFC with a win over the Patriots AND a Chiefs loss. All thoughts during this Bills game will be on No. The Ravens can clinch the AFC’s fifth seed with a win over Cincinnati AND a Chargers loss to the Broncos. Cincinnati will clinch the AFC’s second seed with a win over Baltimore AND a Bills loss to the Patriots. But if they lose to the Titans, thus giving up the division crown to Tennessee, they then fall into the wild card race and muddy those waters even more making it a four-team battle for one final spot. The cancellation meant the Bengals clinched the AFC North based on win percentage, but it also ruled out Cincinnati from a shot at vying for the AFC’s top seed. Things are a lot more complicated atop the AFC. That one will come down to the very last game, a Sunday Night showdown between the Packers and Lions. Incredibly, just four days later, the team announced Hamlin is awake and communicating, and was able to speak with teammates via Zoom on Friday.

Damar Hamlin made his first public statement after the Buffalo Bills safety suffered cardiac arrest following an on-field collision Jan. 2.

[NFL](https://www.rollingstone.com/t/nfl/) Thursday. Although Hamlin bounced back on his feet, after taking a few steps, he collapsed backward onto the turf. By Friday, Hamlin was in communication with his teammates via FaceTime before he addressed the concerned public, days after many witnessed him collapse on the field after colliding with Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. His neurologic function remains intact and he has been able to talk to his family and care team.” “The Love has been overwhelming, but I’m thankful for every single person that prayed for me and reached out.

Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin has expressed his thanks in his first Instagram post since suffering a cardiac arrest five days ago.

Ahead of a round of Saturday night fixtures in the league, the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders held a moment of support with applause and cheers around the Allegiant Stadium for Hamlin. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell confirmed on Friday that the fixture has been cancelled completely following talks with the Bills, Bengals and the NFL Players Association. After receiving medical attention on the field on Monday night, Hamlin was taken into hospital and the game was subsequently suspended.
