CBS Sports.com says the NFL is weighing options on what to do with the suspended Bills-Bengals game and, reading between the lines, it seems they may declare the game a tie.
Apparently, they think pushing the playoffs back a week would be "too disruptive" but haven't ruled out making the two teams play a Wednesday game midweek just before their wild card game. Like THAT'S not disruptive?
To declare the game a tie means the Bills don't have to return to Cincinnati in the same vein as not forcing Jackie Kennedy to return to Dallas but a tie will practically give the AFC's top seed and bye week to the Chiefs undeservedly. Plus, it could cost the Bengals as well -although the Bengals have a 1-1/2 game lead over Baltimore for the Central division. The two teams meet in Week 18.
Apparently, pushing back the playoffs a week disrupts tv scheduling which could cost the league some money.
