The fact that the Bengals were leading 7-3 has no bearing on what will happen the rest of the game.
The very next play might be a Bills blitz where Burrow's arm is hit while he throws, it's a pick-6 for the Bills, and Burrow is injured.
A game is 60 minutes, not 9 minutes. It's ridiculous calling the game for one team or the other. I would despise the NFL if they did that. A no-contest (which hurts the Bills, Bengals, Ravens and helps the Chiefs) or a resumed contest (which might help the Dolphins if Tua gets a week off to recover) are the only options that exist.
