With that said… bill/bengals this week. Push the playoffs a week and have two games on WC weekend Sunday. Pats/Bills and Ravens/Bengals.
This allows for time to process. The only real changes are
1) extra bye week for ravens and pats, no big deal.
2) lost revenue by Super Bowl host city, nfl, etc.
This is the most logical decision.
Yep, the more I think about it the more I wonder if they will just play Week 18 as per normal, and then schedule our game in for the week after. Playoffs back one week, Super Bowl as per normal. Maybe they could push the Pro Bowl to the week after the Super Bowl if they want to? I think that's the least disruption to the League, gets the games played as reasonably as could be etc.
A lot of this will depend on news regarding Hamlin though.
