It's not remotely business as usual to stop a game midway through the first quarter and take that result as having indicated anything.

It surely wasn't decided on the field, nope. I am just saying given the circumstances it comes down to you can effect the entire league or just the two teams playing. I look at it like a freak accident that unfortunately happened to the Bills, no different that if your QB goes down or another key player and you lose the game. Is it unfair to the Bills? Yes, but give them the option to play tomorrow night and if they do not then the the record should stand as it is. Seems much simpler and the least unfair thing to all parties.
That I think is an easier path forward than changing the entire playoff dynamic. There would be so many more questions doing that than the former.
