The AFC Championship Game could be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta as the NFL seeks a neutral-field option, according to Sal Capaccio of WGR 550:
Pat McAfee"We're hearing that Atlanta is very much in play if there's a neutral site AFC Championship game" ~ <a href="https://twitter.com/SalSports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SalSports</a><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PMSLive?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PMSLive</a> <a href="https://t.co/xivHVc7ZYh">pic.twitter.com/xivHVc7ZYh</a>
"Atlanta is very much in play," Capaccio said on the Pat McAfee Show on Wednesday, citing an earlier conversation with Bob Fescoe of 610 Sports Radio. "Maybe New Orleans could be a backup."
NFL owners approved changes to the AFC playoff format last week following the cancellation of the Buffalo Bills' game against the Cincinnati Bengals after Damar Hamlin went into cardiac arrest.
