Playoff Solutions Assuming they don’t replay the Bengals game.

I just don’t see how they play the Bengals game with Hamlin’s true status not being known for days or maybe a full week or more.   A. I prefer they give both KC and the Bills a Bye and kill the #7 seed in the AFC.  I know the NFL will never do this because it’s 1 less playoff game.    B. If the Bills and Chiefs both win next weekend, we are 13-3, Chiefs 14-3, Bengals 12-4.  they could rank Bills and KC 1 and 2 based on conference %. Though this really screws the Bengals because t
The other possibility is for the NFL to change the structure of the Play Offs.   Open the Play Offs to eight teams rather than seven, and scrap the bye for the first seed. In the AFC, if/when the Chiefs, Bengals and/or Bills meet, the game/s will be held on a neutral field. That negates much of the first seed advantage and placings can then be decided by win percentage without completing Bills-Bengals.
