The NFL and its owners passed a resolution on Friday specifying AFC playoff scenarios after Monday's marquee matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals was suspended as a result of Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest on the field.

The Bills, Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs are the teams primarily affected by the agreement because they sit at the top of the AFC standings, still vying for the conference's top seed—plus its accompanying first-round bye and home-field advantage—had Monday's game been completed as normal. The Baltimore Ravens could factor in here, as well.

The various possible playoff scenarios for the AFC Championship Game are laid out below, courtesy of Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer.

Kansas City is 13-3, alone with the most wins in the AFC, after 16 games before Saturday's regular season finale. Buffalo is 12-3 and Cincinnati is 11-4, but will finish the season having played just 16 games due to the teams' matchup earlier this week getting cancelled.

The Chiefs are visiting the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 18, entering Saturday afternoon's action as 9.5-point favorites, according to Fanduel. The Bills host the New England Patriots, comfortable re-taking the field in wake of Monday's game as Hamlin—breathing on his own and speaking with family, friends and teammates—continues to recover at the hospital. The Bengals welcome the Baltimore Ravens, still playing without Lamar Jackson, to Paycor Stadium on Sunday.

Cincinnati lobbied other teams during the meeting between league officials and owners to vote no on the resolution, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.
