They sound upset. Or at least that’s my interpretation from their anonymous leaking of info to Florio. Here is a portion of the text:
”At least one player heard Bills coach Sean McDermott say that the Bills would not continue, even if it meant forfeiting the game… One player heard Bengals coach Zac Taylor offer to resume the game on Tuesday. Bengals players generally accepted the prospect of a one-day delay.
But then the Bills left Cincinnati.
Multiple Bengals players were confused by that development as it occurred.
On one hand, they were sensitive to the situation involving Damar Hamlin. On the other hand, they fully realized the stakes of the game. They wanted to get it played.
The truth also seems to be that, if the Bengals had known the game wouldn’t be finished at all and that the rules would later change to make it harder for them to realize a favorable playoff seed, they wouldn’t have been quite as accommodating of the Bills.“
