Fox News host Laura Ingraham lays out three ways the House GOP can go about choosing a speaker amid Republicans' standstill on "The Ingraham Angle."

LAURA INGRAHAM: There are three scenarios basically that are possible now. One, the Freedom Caucus basically takes McCarthy's concessions as a win and enough of them support him for speaker. Number two, McCarthy could withdraw and allow another candidate for speaker to be proposed, one who presumably could get 218 votes. We've heard a number of people's name mentioned, Steve Scalise is one of them, but others could emerge as well. There's a third scenario. Moderate and establishment Republicans could strike a deal with Democrats whereby McCarthy or another Republican actually gets to be called speaker, but essentially both parties share power on the committees. 

MCCARTHY, HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS DISCUSSING CONCESSIONS IN EFFORT TO SWAY 20 REPUBLICAN VOTERS

…

The folks opposing McCarthy ought to realize that they are playing with fire here. And you have to think of it this way: Did any of them, when they were campaigning, promise the voters that in the event that they had the majority in the House, they would be willing to turn power over to the Democrats if they didn't get their way on a number of points? I'm not saying the points aren't important, but I don't think they campaigned on that, even though they campaigned on principle. And what do they think the voters are going to say, though, if that is what happens in the end? And at some point, if this goes on day after day, after day, there may be other problems and I'm talking serious problems that the Republicans could get blamed for.

The postponed Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati Bengals game will not be resumed and has been canceled, the NFL announced Thursday evening.

The game was postponed after Bills safety Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest after making a tackle on Bengals receiver Tee Higgins. Hamlin had to be resuscitated on the field and remains in the hospital, where his status has improved since being 100 percent on a ventilator.

"This has been a very difficult week," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement. "We continue to focus on the recovery of Damar Hamlin and are encouraged by the improvements in his condition as well as the tremendous outpouring of support and care for Damar and his family from across the country. We are also incredibly appreciative of the amazing work of the medical personnel and commend each and every one of them."

The NFL said that resuming the game would have resulted in postponing the playoffs, which would affect all 14 teams to qualify. The game also has no bearing on playoff qualification — only potential seeding. 

The league also said that "making the decision prior to Week 18 is consistent with our competitive principles and enables all clubs to know the playoff possibilities prior to playing the final weekend of regular season games."

With the announcement of the game's cancellation, the league stated that all clubs will hold a special meeting regarding the possibility of a neutral site AFC Championship Game. If the two participating teams had an unequal number of games played (meaning, if Buffalo or Cincinnati played against a host team that played in 17 games), the NFL announced the following circumstances:

Scenario 1

Buffalo and Kansas City both win or both tie – a Buffalo vs. Kansas City championship game would be at a neutral site.

Scenario 2

Buffalo and Kansas City both lose and Baltimore wins or ties – a Buffalo vs. Kansas City championship game would be at a neutral site.

Scenario 3

Buffalo and Kansas City both lose and Cincinnati wins – a Buffalo or Cincinnati vs. Kansas City championship game would be at a neutral site.

DAMAR HAMLIN ASKED ABOUT BILLS' GAME RESULT AFTER WAKING UP, DOCTORS SAY

However, if the Baltimore Ravens beat the Bengals this weekend, it will have defeated Cincinnati, a divisional opponent, twice but will not be able to host a playoff game because Cincinnati will have a higher winning percentage for a 16-game schedule than Baltimore will for a 17-game schedule.

According to the NFL, "If Baltimore defeats Cincinnati and if those two clubs are scheduled to play a Wild Card game against one another, the site for that game would be determined by a coin toss. If Cincinnati wins the Week 18 game or if Baltimore and Cincinnati are not scheduled to play one another in the Wild Card round, the game sites would be determined by the regular scheduling procedures."

"As we considered the football schedule, our principles have been to limit disruption across the league and minimize competitive inequities," Goodell said. "I recognize that there is no perfect solution. The proposal we are asking the ownership to consider, however, addresses the most significant potential equitable issues created by the difficult, but necessary, decision not to play the game under these extraordinary circumstances."

Hamlin has responded to doctors' orders and even asked doctors via writing who won Monday night's game.
