The NFL just tweaked them to "benefit" the Bills and "hamper" the Bengals. Katie should be pissed as should the players and fans.
This is the real issue here, not the coin toss.
The NFL set rules for cancelled games. They considered those rules to be the fairest option at the time. The Bengals probably considered those rules in deciding how hard to push for a rescheduled game.
Now the NFL has conveniently decided that those rules weren't fair and have changed them on the fly. Would they have made those changes if the Bengals were in the position of the Bills, Chiefs, or Ravens? Not likely.
There's one thing to do now. Carve a path to the Lombardi Trophy like Sherman's March to the sea. When Goodell comes out to award the trophy flip him a quarter. There's your coin toss.
