That’s all a big deal. They’re not calling the game a tie.

The issue is that the Bengals and Bills thoughts on the issue are moot.  Both teams decided not to continue the game.  KC would have no complaints.  The Ravens might, but there's no guarantee that the Bills would have won or tied.  In fact, looking at the emotional state of the Bills last night, they would have likely lost if the game was forced to continue.  It's really not much different than a scenario where a team needs help to get in, but one of the teams rests it's starters and hands the other an easy W.  The Ravens would at least have the consolation prize of being locked into the playoffs and able to rest their starters before the playoffs.
