You can’t really have it be ok in one scenario and not the other. Consistency is key.
Definitely, but the importance of the game does unfortunately have practical relevance. We wouldn't be talking about the difficulties of rescheduling here if the teams weren't so good, or if this was earlier in the season. Texans-Colts would have just been wiped from the Schedule for example. A week 5 game would just get replayed eventually.
As much as people are unhappy with the difficulties in resolving this one, it would be even more difficult had it been a playoff game. No option to go with a No Contest/Tie there... far tougher with trying to find a time to replay the game. At least in this scenario it is possible to call it a tie or something, even if it makes people unhappy. The NFL's hands would have been even more tied had this been in the playoffs.
