But the bills wouldn’t agree to this.
It boils down to this.
This bills are getting a “tie” outcome from MNf game, with even some AFCCG upside more closer to a win.
The bengals are getting a “loss” outcome from MnF
Yep indeed, this is it.
I'm not particularly bitter about it tbh, it is what it is. But while guys on here want to assume we win MNF because of a 4 point lead after 9 minutes, the NFL has assumed a loss for us here instead, like you've said.
Reconciling these two statements was always impossible without playing the game. Whatever they came up with would assume a win/loss for somebody in one way or another. Calling it a tie would've been a 'loss' for the Ravens and a 'win' for KC.
If they Bengals resume business like they have been playing, we beat all these teams in any case. Anywhere.
