No team would have definitively benefitted from the game last night - they all just had a CHANCE of benefitting from it. Or equally, a chance of being screwed by it.
Obviously, I would love for the Chiefs to get the 1 seed, and it would suck if we don't. But much like the refs, external shit sometimes happens. If we wanted to avoid this scenario, we shouldn't have laid down against the Colts.

Not sure I agree with this part. Sure Buffalo could have won the game, but they equally could have lost. The difference is that it would have been decided on the field vs like this. What happened is truly awful and was hard to watch. You can’t just hand out things over it. You can’t give one team an advantage over others because they were the unfortunate beneficiaries of a bad thing happening. It’s not fair to every other player in the league who has given their blood, sweat, and tears to get to this point. Plus what would be the cutoff and why that?
To say “We should have taken care of business against Indy” overlooks losses the Bills/Bengals have that they should have one. It’s no difference when a ref blatantly screws over a team and they use the “We should have played better” line vs calling out what it is.
