Damar Hamlin encountered a life-threatening injury during the first quarter of the game, forcing it to be postponed. And the league is now scrambling for a solution.

An update on Wednesday revealed all options are being considered. And, according to reporter Benjamin Albright, the league is mulling over calling it a no-contest. This would be sure to cause another set of problems with seeding, as you might imagine.

The NFL would have to figure out how to make the AFC seeding as fair as it possibly can. Playoff rankings are based on win-loss records but there are other tiebreakers that set up the order, so they might have to go another way with this.

This doesn’t make sense and seems unfair to KC.. KC would play all 17 games whilst the Bills and the Bengals only play 16, both potentially having a bye week.. effectively they would get two bye weeks (three if you count the standard bye) whilst KC is screwed this ain’t it!

Random number generator would never fly. That would mean the 3 teams with best records could get low seed and 3 teams that barely made it get top seeds and 1 a possible tie. NFL fans would riot if they did this

Either make it a tie or play the game. Seedings based on record.

While the above is not the only option being considered, it’s probably the one that would anger most fans.

Another option would be to determine the seeding based on win percentage, as opposed to the win-loss record. But that would leave one particular fanbase enraged.
