A potential AFC Championship Game between the No. 2-seeded Buffalo Bills and No. 1-seeded Kansas City Chiefs would take place in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the NFL announced Thursday.
The game would take place at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Jan. 29. All other potential AFC Championship Game matchups would take place at the home stadium of the higher seed, the league said.
The fact that a potential Bills-Chiefs matchup would be played at a neutral site was already known, but the league had yet to disclose where that location would be. The NFL last week approved a neutral site because of the inequities created by the cancellation of the Week 17 game between the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals as a result of Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsing on the field and going into cardiac arrest after making a tackle.
Hamlin was released from a hospital Wednesday and is recovering at his home in Buffalo with his family.
The Chiefs have a first-round bye and will host the lowest seed remaining in the AFC divisional round on Jan. 21 or Jan. 22. The Bills open the postseason against the Miami Dolphins at 1 p.m. ET Sunday.
