My PREFERRED way of winning the 1 seed is for them the play the game and have the Bengals win. But if that's not an option, no contest is the only logical option to me. If this happened in week 1, everyone would be fine with that. It's only controversial because we know the specific impacts on the playoff race. But the reality is that a tie in week 1 would have the same impact as a tie in week 17, so it's hard to be comfortable with super convoluted solutions that are only in play because it's so late in the season.

Yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense.
I kinda hate being 'handed' the 1 seed in this fashion but I fully understand and think - if they're not going to play the game (which would absolutely 1000% be preferred) - your way of viewing it is spot on.
