i was also told that head coach zach taylor as well as john that head coach zach taylor as well asjohnermott that head coach zach taylor as well as john mcdermott was that head coach zach taylor as well asjohn mcdermott was on the phone with nfl reps for quite some time to discuss the measures of what was going to transpire after the fact. we later saw buffalo bills managers bringing the equipment inside the locker room which give you an indication that this game was more than likely going to be postponed and delayed due to the nature of what transpired on that field and eventually the nfl made a statement saying that the game had been cancelled due to the nature of what transpired hamlin and his injury that was witnessed by so many. wasn't a surrise witnessed by so many. wasn't a surprise for _ witnessed by so many. wasn't a surprise for you how long it - surprise for you how long it took for the match be suspended? it took for the match be suspended?— took for the match be suspended? it was not surprising. _ suspended? it was not surprising. it - suspended? it was not surprising. it

you know, zach taylor, to his credit, the two of them putting their heads together, saying you know what, official word has not come through, we watched the team packing things up, and we are the ones who are going to see this is not right for our players. our player, especially with a future being so uncertain at that time. so, it is going to get a bit more information. i think we still have many hours to go before we will hear from the hospital and learn his condition. >> yeah, and as you note, this game postponed -- i don't think have ever seen in a football game. it must have been an event that these players and coaches just felt like they could not, should not go on. >> yeah and i think on the nfl conference call just a short time ago that we were all listening in on, there is a felt and expressed to us that the emergency plan that was put in place on the field, the way that the response was so officially conducted, the cpr, and we've heard if you believe it even though we are waiting for a confirmation that was in fact used, that was really executed well. that is a credit to the le

sean mcdermott the bills coach told zach taylor the bengals coach i should be with damar in the hospital was clearly different. that said, the players' ability to compartmentalize and do their jobs is one of the things that makes them special. >> okay. to know the risk and to actually experience it are two different things. people train to be in a war zone or emergency situation. it's just training. when it actually happens, it can change things. i've been asking people this morning is that going to change for the players to having experienced this and seeing the reaction around the country and around the world? >> like what aaron rodgers said. >> man, that next hit could be me. >> yeah. this is something that the players know. it is unfortunately something that -- you know, it's pretty infrequent, but it does happen. we've seen some tragedies on the field. ryan shazier would be one, from the pittsburgh steelers. this is what these guys do. it's what they've been doing their whole life. it's their jobs. it's something they love. >> not an inflection point? >> doesn't feel to me. the emot

zach taylor the head coach of the bengals went to the hospital late last night. nfl sets the schedule months in advance and they knew that if these teams played the way they expected, that you would have a massive viewership and a lot of drama to determine the fate of both teams going into the postseason. what happens now? we don't know and we're waiting for the nfl to answer the questions based on the schedule. >> dana: we want to go back to capitol hill where the republican conference is set to meet this hour before the new congress convenes and that's when the house starts voting for a speaker. this might not be like any other opening day in the last century. how so? congressional correspondent aishah hosni can explain what this day will bring. hi, aishah. >> good morning, drama and drama is what the delay bring. in the next 20 minutes we expect a meeting of the full g.o.p. conference ahead of the big involvement as hopeful kevin mccarthy tries to use every last minute to secure enough votes for his bid. last night mccarthy has partly moved into the speaker's

and there came a point where vincent communicated to the head coach and zach taylor from the cincinnatials, take your team's locker room. assess the situation, assess the state of their morale, and their emotion. and both head coaches determined that they were too traumatized by what they had just witnessed on that field. they did not want to continue playing. and that was the decision that led to the game being postponed. and that's a big point. i don't have remember seeing a game being postponed lighthearted to an injury. if this were ten years ago, five years ago. maybe even a year ago. that would be the case. we've seen abbott's comments to field in play before. we've seen players being carted off, stretchered off. have their face masks removed with their helmets attached. because of the spinal cord injury but the game goes on. i think this is a big moment for the nfl and there's been a lot of talk on their part about putting important on player health and safety. this moment tonight has proved it. in my mind, as a former player. because i've been on fields. six seasons with the buf

i was reading also about zach taylor. the coach of the bengals.said their locker room, the buffalo locker room was on the other side, obviously of the stadium. he walked to the other side of the stadium. and he wanted to just be with their coach. he said if we're together we can interact with the nfl and divide if we are going to postpone this game. there was criticism for waiting so long. now you understand why. they have thousands of fans in the stand. they are worried about his health above and beyond anything else. then when they finally try to regroup they have to talk to the nfl. they decided the coach of the bills wants to be with his player at the hospital. everyone is distraught. the players can't really get out there because one of their best friends is fighting for his life in the hospital. everyone just needs to take a pause and realize there was a lot going on behind the scenes. >> brian: ending up being paralyzed carted off and playing again. first time they actually stopped. back to the top stories, the house will attempt to elect a

there are images late last night of zach taylor, the bengals head coach pulling up to the hospital in his own car to go in and check in himself. this was clearly a moment where football was rendered completely meaningless last night. >> you know, willie, you said this, that this by many accounts was the game of the year in the nfl. it was a game between two teams with a totally of seven losses, and here we are in week 17. both teams on long winning streaks. two of the franchise quarterbacks in the nfl getting ready to play each other for the first time ever. and so there was great, great anticipation for this game. the tv rating on this game would have been out of this world, and i only say that because what you saw last night is what i would call sort of the brotherhood of what happens in the nfl between teammates but between players on other teams. you see it all the time. if there is an injury on the field during the game where a player has to be taken off, let's say, on a cart, you will see the majority of the players on the other team come over and touch his shoulder pads or basi

so to me, this is about great coaching with kyle shanahan in san francisco, zach taylor in cincinnatirback, you have no chance. >> and of course the last draft pick of course called mr. irrelevant. he's been anything but in san francisco. pretty incredible. peter king. thank you so much. >> thank you, peter. >> for being with us. we really appreciate it. >> thanks, guys. >> jonathan lemire, sorry your patriots didn't make it. i have to say, i always cheer for mac jones, a bama guy, he had a rough start the past year or so. he looked really good yesterday. he finished strong. that gives the patriots something, really, i think to look forward to. he really -- he's really growing into that position. i'm curious what you think. i agree with peter, the 49ers, man, they just look really, i mean, hard to beat. 49ers, the chiefs looking pretty great. you look at the bills also of course. they're going to be in contention. and of course philadelphia. there's some not so good teams in the playoffs, but we've got four really good teams there! and as peter said the theme more than usual is quarte
