Monday’s postponed game, which featured the Bills, the top team in the AFC East, and the AFC North-leading Bengals won’t resume this week and no decision has been made about whether it’ll happen at all, the NFL said Tuesday in a statement. Next week’s slate of games — the last before the playoffs — hasn’t changed.
