Why Bengals and Bills matter a ton

The sports world centered on Cincinnati on Monday as sports fans were deeply concerned about the health of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin of McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, who collapsed after making a tackle on Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins of Oak Ridge, Tennessee. We do not know at this time if or when the Bengals and Bills will resume their game. The Bengals currently lead 7-3 with just over five minutes left in the first quarter.

A lot of people on the World Wide Web have stated their wish to have this game end in a tie. When the game will be played is anybody’s guess. What we do know is the game has significance well beyond the National Football League standings and who will get the first round playoff bye.

Why? Well the Bills and Bengals game Monday Night determined fantasy football championships throughout the world as very few pools include week 18. In my pool where I am the Commissioner of the Sports Freak Invitational through Yahoo! Sports, The Gentleman’s Club leads Dead and Burrowed 73.02 to 59.68 in the championship final. The Gentleman’s Club has one Bills player left (quarterback Josh Allen of Firebaugh, California) and one Bengals player left (wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase of Harvey, Louisiana). Dead and Burrowed has three players left. They are Higgins, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow of Amee, Iowa and Bengals kicker Evan McPherson of Fort Payne, Alabama. Due to the fact a significant amount of money is at stake, it is important that the fantasy football season comes to a conclusion and we have a winner. Let’s hope the NFL finds a way to complete this very important game!
