NFL owners voted to approve the resolution modifying this year’s playoff format in light of the cancellation of Monday night’s game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, the league announced Friday.
The resolution involves the possibility of the AFC Championship Game being held at a neutral site and a potential coin flip to determine who would get home field in a wild-card game between the Baltimore Ravens and Bengals.
The AFC title game will be played at a neutral site selected by the NFL if the two teams played a different number of regular-season games or if the lower seeded team in the game could have been the No. 1 seed if a full schedule had been played.
