Bills/Bengals likely a “no contest”

Only thing they could do in my opinion. Too many moving parts to push back, reschedule so many other games just to get this one in.

Stormy which team do you think this will ultimately hurt the most ?
It's hard to tell. I think it sucks more for Bills probably

As far as the playoff picture, there's no perfect solution to this. This was going to be an extremely meaningful game to a lot of teams.

I think it was unlikely the Bengals would get the 1 seed had they beaten the Bills, because they would still need the Chiefs to lose to Raiders in Week 18 and I don't think that's happening. Having said that, a win over the Bills would have given Bengals the ability to controls its destiny for the 2 seed.

If they cancel game, Bengals probably looking at the 3 unless the Bills lose to the Patriots -- which I don't see happening. That isn't that bad of a deal, though visiting Orchard Park in January could suck

The Bills lose controlling their destiny for the 1 seed, which I think is a bigger loss even though 2 is more favorable than the 1. I also think even though this will affect both teams emotionally without questions, Buffalo as a team really gotta be going through it right now. The positive trend in Hamlin's health though could help them

Ravens may argue they get screwed since No Contest would actually clinch the division for the Bengals. But the Ravens can go f*** themselves lmao they couldn't take advantage of a college schedule. That's their fault

I think it's the right decision, despite the importance of the game

I'll add though, not to be insensitive to the moment

But it did look like Burrow was about to commit a few felonies on the Buffalo defense before the game was suspended.

The Bengals looked SHARP
