The Bengals accommodated out of desire to do the right thing. The Ravens were pacified with the coin flip thing, which was irrelevant in the end, sort of. The Bengals still had to play back to back games vs an extremely violent divisional opponent with no chance to rest starters due to the coin flip. Two weeks later we are down two linemen and heading to Buffalo.Show me where the Bengals organization said makeup the game?, and show were Buffalo organization said no makeup.we put ourselves in this position by having a worse record than the Bills with same number of games played.. hence bills are hosting this game.
The Bills locked up a home divisional game and are guaranteed not to have to go to Arrowhead should they play in the conference championship. They also avoid Paycor in the divisional, which is exactly where tomorrow's game should be played. Garbage, subjective decision.
If Buffalo wins the AFC, that's a huge asterisk. It will be more and more obvious as we get farther away from the Hamlin incident. Totally botched by the NFL.
