We still have another week of games to play. If the Bills lose to the Patriots and the Chiefs win, it's irrelevant if a result of this game is scored. Chiefs would have the #1 seed, and the 2 and the 3 would be determined by whether or not Cincy wins their week 18 matchup.
If events don't fall neat and tidy like that, you at least have an entire week to prep and determine as a league what the best decision is. That's better than abruptly telling these teams to play on a Tuesday and then have them haul ass to fit in Week 18.
It's not going to happen that way, because something about legal competitive balance something something yadda yadda, but if I were Goodell and could waive a magic wand, it's how I'd handle the situation.

Cancelling the game seriously hurts the Bills (and there's no way they're just gonna fit it in before the playoffs after next weekend if outcomes go a certain way). Just don't see it.
