You know, I believe this. it was the players association that agreed to suspend the game. That same Association that reps Every team involved. KC, Balt, Cinci, Buff, Miami and so on. A tie is punishment for teams like Baltimore. A win for both teams punishes KC. They can't say Buffalo Conceded the game, was not their choice to not play the game.
Wins for both team and the league go's on with one big fat asterisk by the year.
Either way... Damned if you do... Damned if you don't. BUT what you don't do is punish those teams on the field.
8 teams get in, 2 teams get the bye, KC with home field advantage against buffalo. AFC and NFC. I think the entire NFL League and Fans would love this outcome.
***EDITED***
And TBH this is how it SHOULD BE in the NFL
