Move both of their Week 18 games to Monday night. That's as much time as playing Sunday and Thursday.
It puts a little pressure on them to prep for week 1 of the playoffs with one less day of rest, but at least it would mitigate this situation as best as is likely.
If Hamlin's fate is death, which I don't really want to think about, the league as a business still has to find a way to move on in a respectful manner. I'm not sure what that is, honestly, other than just playing the games and working as well as they can with game times to accommodate any situation that arises. I mean, it's never going to be perfect for the players and coaches regardless of how they approach the situation, but they can't just cancel everything as heartless as that may sound.

The problem with this is that if either or both Pats and Ravens make the playoffs they are now going to bitch about having to turn around and play a wild card game with 1 or 2 days of less prep and why are they getting penalized. They won’t want that
