There was a change made that was an extraordinary situation. The game of the Bills vs the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football forced the NFL to organize the playoffs in a different way in one scenario. Since Buffalo didn’t play all 17 weeks for the cancellation of that game, they deemed Kansas City hosting a potential title match vs them to be unfair.

The resolution was that if those teams reached the AFC Final they would be playing in a neutral site. So the following step was to find what location should be selected in that case. After one possibility was turned down for scheduling purposes, a new host was confirmed.

Where would the Chiefs vs Bills be played?

Right from the day the league began thinking about playing a potential AFC Championship game in a neutral site there was one candidate. That were the Indianapolis Colts as the hosts of the match, but they rejected the idea because of having other events already scheduled at Lucas Oil Stadium on the required date.

Although on Thursday the NFL confirmed where these teams will clash if it were to happen in the playoffs. The Buffalo Bills vs Kansas City Chiefs would be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium if both get there. in the end it was the Atlanta Falcons venue the one that could receive such a fantastic game between title contenders.

While the remaining berths for Europeanteams will be decided in the UEFA playoffs, the Conmebol, Concacaf, and AFC competitions are heading to the final stretch of their respective campaigns.

All of their teams share the same goal: to qualify for the next World Cup. And they know that, if they do so, they’ll have to be prepared for the use of VAR in that tournament, just like it happened in Russia 2018. Here, check out if these confederations have already implemented the video review in their tournaments.

However, VAR was implemented as a trialduring the 2021 Concacaf Nations League Finals, the 2021 Gold Cup Final, and the 2021 Concachampions finals.

During that time,the organization trained referees and prepared venues to apply a certified video review. As a result, Concacaf announced that it’s ready toimplement VAR this year, starting withthe upcoming World Cup Qualifying fixtures to be played in January and February.

Is there VAR in the AFC Asian 2022 World Cup Qualifiers?

The AFC has also worked for a long time taking the necessary steps to implement VAR in its competitions. After some trials in different events, the organization decided to start using Video Assistant Referee in the Final Round of the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers in September 2021.

“The VAR system, which aims to provide minimum interference with maximum benefit, is limited to four game-changing decisions or incidents, specifically – goal or no goal, penalty-kicks, direct red cards and mistaken identity decisions,” the AFC statement read.
