If that happened to the Chiefs, you would be freaking out.

If I'm reading everything correctly, I don't think that's even an option. They can only "call" a game if it's pretty obvious what the outcome will be (like if Cincy was up by 28 in the middle of the 4th quarter).
From my perspective, the options are (in order of what I personally think is most and least likely):
1. Resume the game tomorrow night and probably bump the Bengals and Bills games next weekend to Monday (or maybe even Tuesday).
2. The game is cancelled entirely, which would result in a "no contest." Both teams would finish the season with 16 games, and seeding would be determined by win percentage. (This is effectively a tie, but I don't see a way they would actually award it as such since a tie requires a game to have been played.)
3. The Bills are offered the chance to resume the game and choose to forfeit, which would result in a W for Cincy and a L for the Bills.
4. They push the entire post-season out a week. Everyone plays next weekend as scheduled, and the Bengals and Bills play alone in "week 19."
