If the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs square off in the AFC Championship Game, neither team will hold the home-field advantage. 

The NFL’s decision to play the game at a neutral site came last week after the Monday night game between the Bills and Cincinnati Bengals was canceled following Damar Hamlin’s cardiac arrest in the first quarter. 

The neutral site game was finalized on Friday after a special meeting with league owners to "mitigate a possible competitive inequity" in the AFC playoffs.

The Chiefs finished the regular season atop the AFC with a record of 14-3, earning a first-round bye. 

Buffalo, in playing one less game, finished the regular season at 13-3 and will be the AFC’s No. 2 seed. 

On Monday, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes was asked whether the NFL’s decision was fair, with the Super Bowl-winning quarterback saying the Chiefs were ready for whatever the NFL decided.

"Nothing was going to be fair for anybody, I don’t think," Mahomes said. "It’s such a situation that we never encountered before. At the end of the day, I was so happy that Damar was doing better. And that’s the most important stuff. 

"So, him doing better and him being in a better spot, we were ready to do whatever scenario was going to happen. So, if that was a neutral site, if that was going there (to Buffalo), whatever it was. We were ready to just go out there and play. But we have to win our first game first. And so we’ll just worry about whoever we play in the first round for us."

Kansas City enters the NFL playoffs winners of 10 of the last 11 games and with an offense ranked at the top of the league in yards and points per game. 

The Chiefs will play the Miami Dolphins, Jacksonville Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens or Los Angeles Chargers depending on how Wild Card Weekend plays out. 

The top seed in each conference will play the lowest remaining seed in the divisional round.

The Baltimore Ravens reportedly agreed to terms with star inside linebacker Roquan Smith on a five-year, $100 million contract.

Smith was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the first round of the 2018 draft, but the Pro Bowl linebacker did not get an extension offer he deemed worthy from the Bears.

The team ultimately decided to trade him to Baltimore in October in exchange for a second- and fifth-round draft pick. His extension with the Ravens includes $60 million in total guarantees, according to the NFL Network.

Smith started all 17 games this season, and had arguably the best season of his professional football career. He racked up 169 tackle and 4.5 sacks. The former Georgia football standout also had three interceptions this season and was named to the Pro Bowl for the first time.

He is now the highest-paid inside linebacker in the NFL, the NFL Network reported.

Now that Smith's deal is done, the Ravens will likely shift their focus to figuring out the future of Lamar Jackson. The star quarterback has missed the last several games of the regular season due to a knee injury, and it remains unclear if he will be available for the team's wild-card playoff game.

Jackson's contract expires at the end of the season and, like Smith, he has been negotiating with the team without representation from an agent. 

Jackson has reportedly asked the Ravens for a fully guaranteed contract along the lines of Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson's five-year, $230 million deal, which set a record for the highest guaranteed money given to an NFL player. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported in September that Jackson declined a deal with Baltimore worth roughly $250 million in the pursuit of a fully guaranteed contract.

If the two sides are unable to reach an agreement, it is likely that the team will franchise tag Jackson. Although it is possible the one-time NFL MVP could leave the Ravens in the offseason.

Smith's presence in Baltimore has provided a boost to the Ravens' defense, which has only given up more than 16 points twice since his arrival. Third-year linebacker Patrick Queen has had to deal with fewer double-teams because of Smith, which has allowed him to be more productive.

Smith will now be the only inside linebacker earning $20 million per season. He surpasses Indianapolis Colts defender Shaquille Leonard as the highest-paid linebacker in the league in terms of average annual value. Leonard makes $19.7 million per season.

Over the course of the past five seasons, Smith, Leonard and Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt are the only defensive players to record at least 15 sacks and five interceptions.
