Associated Press NFL writer Rob Maaddi tweeted this afternoon <https://twitter.com/RobMaaddi/status/1611083550820020224?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1611083550820020224%7Ctwgr%5Ea4e962aad0dfc3499754c054c59e5c84e16b9e3c%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cincyjungle.com%2F2023%2F1%2F5%2F23541126%2Fbengals-bills-no-contest-cincinnati-wins-afc-north-baltimore-ravens> (link) that the NFL has decided the Bills-Bengals game will be declared a "no contest"... league standings officially include each team's won-lost-tied percentages anyway (each tie is half a win and half a loss), and Cincinnati's would still give it a division title, but not the AFC top seed (and a week off)... there are also unconfirmed reports having the league moving the AFC championship game to a neutral stadium should either team reach it... and sports-related media was rife with speculation of the playoffs being temporarily expanded. I expect an official confirmation Friday (6) morning, given that two games are held Saturday. B
