Option 1) A tie or no contest would give the Bengals the North, but lock them out of the #1 seed but no worse than the #3 seed.
Option 2) Both teams have locked into the playoffs. So you play the week 18 schedule as normal. Then you play this game as a continuation on Thursday. However the seeding comes out you push the Bills playoff game and their opponent/Bengals playoff game and their opponent to the next Thursday and so forth... This allows enough time between games for the Bills and Bengals, gets the suspended game in and gives the opponents of the Bills/Bengals a little more time -- with the Bills and Bengals having a normal week to prepare.
