Blanche Martin, of Council Grove, won week 17 of the Council Grove Pigskin Pick ‘Em Football Contest. Martin correctly guessed 15 out of 17 contests. The number of games judged included the “free” one as well as the Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals. The Monday night game was suspended indefinitely when Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after a collision with Bengals receiver Tee Higgins in the first quarter. After on-field treatment and CPR, an automated external defibrillator was used. Hamlin was transported to a hospital where he is in critical condition. The NFL has not set a new date and time for a rematch.
