If they lose and Buffalo wins, they play neutral because the Bills "could" have won in Cincy and tied them, with tiebreak winners.

It is absolutely inconsistent based on what KC does under a scenario that you have not addressed.

It is inconsistent if KC loses, the Bills win, and the Bengals win. Because then KC has a half-game lead over the Bengals, but the Bengals could have tied KC (and won the tiebreaker) if the Bengals had beat the Bills in the MNF game. But the league decided that if KC has a half-game lead over the Bengals in the case of KC  being the 2 seed and Bengals the 3 seed, that that game will be in Arrowhead.

It is opposite the decision made in terms of the Ravens, and in terms of Buffalo-KC.
