I don't have a fair solution, but the most logical thing to do is to move the playoffs back 1 week. You can still have the SB on time and it shouldn't be that difficult reschedule playoff games with this much lead time. Any game past the wildcard games are pure speculation when it comes down to location and times. The 2nd option would be to call the game with the Bengals the winner. I don't see declaring the game a tie as an equitable solution.
I don't want to sound callous, but as someone mentioned earlier, had this happened in a practice there wouldn't be a question. For all we know, the Bengals would have won the game.
