There is an open week between the conference championship games and the Super Bowl, move the playoffs up one week and finish the regular season as scheduled, playing the Buffalo/Cincinnati game in the open week created after the end of the regular season, delaying the playoffs one week.
thought about that, but believe me, even I wouldn’t want to play (or attend) that championship game here in late January.
Also: Bills & Chiefs both win Sunday. What’s the Bengals motivation the following week? Their position would have been already decided.
My attempt is to avoid delaying the playoffs.
I could go with this idea.
They’ve done that in the past. The Sunday after 9-11 the games were cancelled and they pushed everything back one week
