Missing the Point - A Sports Podcast01/05/23 • 72 min
In this week's episode, we'll dive into the latest update on Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who suffered a severe injury during Monday Night Football against the Cincinnati Bengals. After being taken off the field in an ambulance, Hamlin remains in critical condition in the ICU and is currently sedated. However, according to reports, doctors have seen some good readings, and the situation is moving positively. Our thoughts and prayers are with Hamlin and his family during this difficult time.
We'll also look at the NFL Power Rankings heading into the final week of the regular season. In the top 10 this week, we have the Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Giants, Los Angeles Chargers, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers, Cincinnati Bengals, and Kansas City Chiefs. It's shaping to be an exciting end to the regular season, with playoff implications for many teams.
In addition to the Power Rankings, we'll be discussing the potential playoff matchups and the potential impact of the Bills and Patriots not playing their Week 18 game. With the Bills and Bengals game from Monday Night Football not yet rescheduled, it's possible that the playoffs could be affected if the game is not made up. We'll be breaking down all the possibilities and examining the potential playoff implications.
