And even that is a slight disadvantage as one or both teams would then get a shorter rest period before the playoffs. But my memory is WC weekend plays on Saturday/Sunday so if you ended up working the schedule to play their games on Sunday after playing Monday and the other guys play Saturday after playing Sunday, they're all on relatively even footing.

So if I'm betting, I'd say a Thursday night game then they play next week as a double-header on Monday.

I think they have a Monday night game for WC weekend now as well, so that should further cushion any scheduling blow.

Yes, this is a tragic situation. However, soldiers in real battles in real wars don't get to stop and go home when a brother is down.

Exactly. Athletes are entitled as hell and can just quit when they want. NBA does the same thing every time they don't like something that went on in America. What other profession that a normal person has where they can just walk away and say get bent and still keep their job? Athletes don't live in reality. A player's life is not on the line in a game at all. It's far easier to get killed driving in your car.

What happened was extremely bad and they definitely should not have continued but the game still needs to be finished or forfeited.

Crap, I thought I kicked you out of all these threads.

Ah - didn't realize that.

Yeah, it seems like a Thursday night game makes too much sense to not happen, then.

You give them today to decompress, Wednesday to arrange travel/hotels if necessary, Thursday you play. Flex out whoever is presently scheduled for Monday night in week 18, play a double header - though they're both east coast games so that would be a little more difficult. Both teams are at home though so there aren't travel concerns. You could start one of them at 5 eastern and the other at 8.

Then give them Sunday/Monday playoff games to cushion the impact and you're in pretty good shape.

There's a fairly clean path forward here.

Check your maths

Chiefs 14-3 = 82% win percentage
Bills 13-3 = 81% wp

Yeah, I messed that up, you're right.

So. Much. Virtue Signaling.

Jesus - why not just ask the Bengals and Patriots to both forfeit? And then we'll play one-handed to signify the mental handicaps the Bills are dealing with right now. Y'know, as a showing of solidarity.

The race to be the 'most compassionate' here is just cracking me up.

This has become like watching politicians argue over who hates child predators more. Girls - you're all pretty.

Nobody's really super stoked about Damar Hamlin collapsing on a football field. I think we're all in agreement on that. Can we, y'know, actually PLAY the games at some point instead of just trying to one-up each other's displays of concern? Lord.

It's the South Park episode were they smell their own farts to get off on that.
