Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't want that either. I'm still hopeful they give the Bengals the W since we were leading at the time, though I acknowledge that is not "more fair" than giving the W to the Bills.

They have accommodations (team hotel, etc) transportation, etc.

Luckily Cinci and Buffalo are not far apart - the flight time is less than two hours.
There's no reason Buffalo couldn't fly in early in the morning, then play the same day (4:30 or 8:00 start)

I wonder if it was logistically easier to take the scheduled flight back than trying to find hotel accommodations for a whole team (including non-player members) so late in the evening. And considering it's a short flight, they probably reasoned, it's better for the Bills players' mental health to go home and be in comfortable surroundings with loved ones and then they can take a return flight back to continue the game if that's what happens.

So if both teams agree i think a Tie is the best route.. Unless the Bills concede the contest.

there just isn't any time left to flex this game elsewhere without completely disrupting playoff schedules.

*Refund the tickets to the Game* or allow them to be exchanged for a contest next year

My thoughts exactly. This game is not getting finished and I don't see either team conceding nor allowing the other team to concede (in a magnanimous way, not a selfish one) so a tie is the most likely outcome.
