Yeah, money is involved, but Burrow and Allen alone are going to have like a billion bucks between them eventually.  This is prime time, too...there aren't 10 other games on right now to distract people.  The world is watching this, and I'd wager that's why the NFL is sweating and wondering what to do.

Regardless of how fans feel about it there are still contractual obligations and those contracts don't get cancelled because of an injury or death. There's a whole lot of money involved here and money doesn't care about feelings. If the league just cancelled the game they're probably going to be liable for millions upon millions, betting houses will be liable, fans and tickets..
The league has to be weighing all of these considerations..
