Maybe the Bills should play the Broncos since they are both in the same situation.  They are talking about it on WGR and Jeremy White brings up a good point.

The league doesn't want to move the Chiefs/Bills TNF game.  

 

Baseball did this when the Marlins had their outbreak.  They flipped games here and there to make it work.

Why not? The Broncos are playing their 3rd string QB.   Maybe we can squeeze a double header in and play the Jets right after?   LOL

Very difficult on the game planning front. It isn't as simple as rerouting a flight and changing hotel reservations. Both teams would be in the same boat, so it is fair, but I'd expect sloppy football.

I suppose its an idea that's possible, but I'm sure the Bills would want no part of it.  

 

Denver is a further road trip than Nashville and with a quick turnaround to face the Chiefs this Thursday thats somethng the Bills would surely not appreaciate.

 

If we were playing a game next Sunday vs. the Chiefs I'd think a move like that would be more of a possibility, but with a game Thursday I just dont see it happening

Since both teams are being moved, I would say move the game to a neutral site halfway between like Minneapolis or Chicago.

That is a good idea right there. NFL shouldn't suffer b.c of the Titans.

This is a great idea.  If the game goes to overtime, would Andre Roberts be able to fair catch the ball on 2nd base?

I do like your solution but no other teams have had this kind of outbreak.

 

Goodell said up to and including forfeit which should get every other team to take notice and fly right.

Does anyone know what the NFL's contingency plan was for postponed games?

 

Having the Bills play the Broncos this week just ensures that one more game gets played. The opening a slot in the schedule on December 20 doesn't necessarily help the rescheduling issues.

The Infield fly rule would come into play ;)

I don't think they have one otherwise they would have shortened the season to 14 games giving them 3 weeks of room to maneuver.

yes...Broncos traveling East anyways, too.

 

I’d take the sloppy play.
