I think you very clearly take the bye, IMO.
Presumptively we'd still get HFA vs. the 3 seed (so i guess Cincinnati). And based on what we saw Monday, I expect Cincy will beat Buffalo even in Buffalo.
So we'd play against, I dunno, Baltimore or SD? While Cincy/Buffalo play and if/when Cincy wins, the game ends up in KC anyway.
But honestly, it seems INCREDIBLY unfair to Cincy to have to play that game in Buffalo given that they seemed very likely to win anyway. And at that point Cincy gets the 2 seed and Buffalo would've had to play on the road again.
This is just a lot of bending over backwards for scenarios that in at least some way end up screwing everyone who ISN'T the Buffalo Bills.
