The Bengals organization as a member of the cartel are in on the fix along with the rest of the team owners.
The only people who have a legitimate complaint are fans and the only recourse we have is to not buy tickets and merchandise, period which is the single biggest reason the league is opposed to legal gambling on games. Once it's known or lets say widely suspected that the league is in cahoots with gambling they're done for and they know it. 
As entertainment they're completely free to script outcomes of games any way they choose and to suspend, expell or otherwise blackball players, coaches or anyone else they deem detrimental to their profits. 
The Bengals and the Brown family might not agree with league actions, but they're not about to kill the goose laying golden eggs for a one Vontez Burfict..  

You're missing the point behind the exercise. It isn't to protect Burflict but rather to serve notice that the bias will not be tolerated any longer. Send the message that the bias stops or you go nuclear and don't care about the consequences and the other owners will back down and reign in at least the worst of the bias.
