Saturday’s Divisional Round game between the Bills and Bengals was bigger than football in a lot of ways. While winning and moving on to the AFC Championship obviously meant a lot to both sides, there was something greater at play.
Damar Hamlin was in attendance.

Hamlin’s harrowing collapse took place during a game between Buffalo and Cincinnati on Jan. 2. The incident, as scary as it was and continues to be, served something of a divine purpose.
Nearly two dozen members of the program penned a message to the school after it was announced that the former NFL star would not be taking over.
A handful of Bethune-Cookman football players have started a petition to reinstate Ed Reed as the program’s head coach after the former NFL star announced Saturday that the school had decided not to ratify his contract.
In a photo posted on Twitter by Wildcats running back Branden McDonald, more than 20 players had signed the petition that called Reed’s dismissal “unjust.
A leaping catch from Cincinnati wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was overturned, and observers had strong reactions.
In their AFC divisional-round matchup with the Bills Sunday, the Bengals appeared to seize a critical third-and-goal opportunity with 1:55 left in the half. Quarterback Joe Burrow hit leaping wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase in the back of the end zone, and the play was called a touchdown on the field.
NFL replay officials, however, reversed the call on the grounds that Chase did not maintain possession throughout the process of the catch.
The more replays NFL officials are given, the blinder they get.
A handful of replays overturned a touchdown catch by Bengals wideout Ja’Marr Chase in the second quarter, which could have put Cincinnati up, 21-7. After marching the offense down the snow-coated Highmark field, Joe Burrow found Chase in the back of the endzone for the score.

As Ja’Marr set his feet in the back of the box, Bills linebacker Matt Milano stripped the ball away from Chase.
The Philadelphia Eagles pounded the New York Giants in the NFC Divisional Round on Saturday. The game wasn’t close and the Eagles demonstrated why they earned the top seed in the conference. And quarterback Jalen Hurts, who missed the team’s Week 16 and 17 games due to a shoulder injury, played well in the game.
He didn’t have to do much, since Philadelphia gashed the Giants on the ground. Hurts completed 16 of 24 passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns.
The Giants sacked him once, but Hurts did not turn the ball over and rushed for another score. Solid. But unspectacular.
Zach Edey had 24 points and 16 rebounds as No. 3 Purdue held off a furious second-half charge from Maryland for a 58-55 victory on Sunday.
The Bills All-Pro linebacker made two incredible plays on Ja’Marr Chase to prevent a touchdown.
It isn’t NFL football without a catch controversy.
In the second quarter of the Divisional Round matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, Joe Burrow was looking to add to his team’s 14-7 lead. On a third-and- goal play late in the first half, Burrow found All-Pro receiver Ja’Marr Chase in the back of the end zone and appeared to make it a 20-7 Bengals’ lead.
However, NFL officials stopped the play to take a closer look at the touchdown.
Manning and his son, Marshall, have had themselves a busy weekend.
Being Peyton Manning clearly has its perks. So too does being Peyton Manning’s son.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer and two-time Super Bowl champion made the most of his divisional round weekend with an East Coast swing to the Giants-Eagles game in Philadelphia on Saturday. He followed that up with a trip to Orchard Park for the Bengals-Bills matchup on Sunday, bringing his son, Marshall, along for the ride.
