The league has still not announced a final decision on Monday's suspended game between the Bills and Bengals. Earlier today, a report said the game would not be played again at any point, but the NFL denied that assertion.

Tonight, Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, citing "multiple sources," reported that the league's owners will meet tomorrow to discuss AFC seeding.

Bills-Bengals was suspended after Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin collapsed and suffered a cardiac arrest on the field. If the game is not made up, then the league would likely use winning percentage to determine the order of the top three seeds.

The issue with that, as Florio explains, is that the Chiefs could wrap up the No. 1 seed with a win this weekend, despite the fact they lost head-to-head to the Bills and Bengals.

Also, should the Bills and Bengals win in Week 18, Buffalo will be the No. 2 seed thanks to winning percentage. That's not fair to Cincinnati, considering they didn't get to have their chance to face the Bills.
