Ask yourself, if the same thing happened during the Super Bowl, would the game continue ???

IMO, it absolutely would continue.

Look past all the emotions over this tragic incident, the bottom line with the NFL is MONEY, the billionaires that own the teams are all about MONEY.

That’s why the game will be played, fans have paid for the tickets, the TV networks have paid for for the game which will be huge if its played as the only game after the regular season.

For years the NFL has been adamantly against gambling refused any association with it, even though gambling on NFL games is one of the main attractions of the sport.

Now the NFL has a team in Las Vegas and is associated with DraftKings and Fan Duel, two huge gambling sites, the NFL realizes getting involved with legalized gambling as it becomes more legal around the country has enormous potential and they want a piece of that action.

Ask yourself, if the same thing happened during the Super Bowl, would the game continue ???

It would. If the game wasn't continued that very day, it would be pushed back. And, being the last game of the season, there would be very little disruption to the overall NFL schedule if it were done so. Heck, the NFL might relish the opportunity to milk another week or two of pub.

Now, actual game cancellations aren't unprecedented and, IIRC, were pretty frequent during COVID. And the NFL policy at that time, was that the team with the COVID outbreak would be forced to forfeit.

There was certainly gambling at that time. There was certainly fantasy at that time. But they did it and they survived it. As big as Bengals v Bills might be, it is still a regular season game.

Similar policy should be applied here. Except the team that was winning should be awarded the win. Buffalo should forfeit.
