What was the factual answer to the Damar Hamlin question after recent NFL announcements?

Roger Goodell and the NFL suspended the Bills-Bengals Week 17 game after an hour of the Damar Hamlin tragedy. The league had to answer a few questions about the controversial delay and an alleged 5-minute warmup call. However, the NFL announced this week that the two AFC heavyweights will not be playing the rematch of the regular season fixture. Furthermore, the league declared the game a no-contest. Goodell arrived at the decision after speaking to both teams and the NFL Players Association authorities.

Regardless, the NFL world is breathing a sigh of relief as Damar recovers steadily. “He continues to breathe on his own and his neurological function is excellent,” the latest report from the UCMC said.
