I realize there's this disconnect where everyone here is certain that it should be a forfeit/no contest and then we just go by winning percentage, and I fully understand that thought process. But I don't think that sort of logic resides with the average NFL fan and I can understand where they're coming from.

The game wasn’t played because they decided not to finish it. It was their choice to leave the field, fly home, and make absolutely no arrangements to continue the game. The game or the 1 seed wasn’t taken from them. They decided they didn’t care about it enough to finish the game.
