There's a whole lot of money involved here and money doesn't care about feelings. If the league just cancelled the game they're probably going to be liable for millions upon millions, betting houses will be liable, fans and tickets..
The league has to be weighing all of these considerations..

Right, and they have to be weighing how likely a player strike would be if the entire world has to watch this game continue because of contracts.  The announcers and the studio talkers are saying it needs to be cancelled.  I can't imagine they'd be allowed to talk about things that way if the NFL were in their ear saying "We need to play this."
