In a subsequent tweet, the Bills confirmed that, in the meantime, Chris Brown will proceed to do the play-by-play work on the Bills Radio Network. Before the Monday Night game, the franchise announced Murphy’s absence, saying he was ‘under the weather.’ That game got suspended after Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest during the play.
