The easiest way to fix this is to cancel week 18 for everyone based on tragic circumstances. It sucks for everyone. The Bengals would have no chance at a #1 seed because KC would have it handed to them. The Bills would be the #2 or #3 which is still the most likely outcome if they lost anyway. They could still get the #1 if they won the replay of our game.
For teams who are on the bubble (Pittsburgh, Miami, New England), it would suck but it would suck equally for everyone.
Again, you act like the young man is already dead. There's no way they are cancelling a week of football. The amount of money lost would be astounding, not only for the players, teams, league, etc., but for restaurants, vendors, parking, hotels, etc. The number of people that would affect is huge.
