Kinda seems like a pretty minor thing from the Chiefs perspective, no?
I think this makes sense from the NFL's perspective. They're not quite sure what to do right now and they hope the play this weekend answers some questions. Before there was a chance the Chiefs lose to the Raiders and then the Bills have nothing to play for/sit some of their starters and that gifts a win to the Patriots. Now all of these teams is incentivized to play at full strength.
We should be pretty happy with this outcome because our Saturday scheduling disadvantage has at least for now been rendered moot.
