I'm sure Clark handled this with much grace, but if it were me. I would have said something like, why does my team have to play more games than Cincinnati and Buffalo? An unbalanced schedule (for whatever reason) is inherently not fair. So with that in mind we don't want to play our game vs the Raiders, who are out of the playoff race anyway, and if Buffalo wins, then great they can be the one seed and we will play the AFC championship game at a neutral field.
Additionally. You could have just not had the AFC teams play week 18 games and have the Bills and Bengals play it on Saturday. The fact that both of those teams don't have to play the most difficult game on their schedule is unfair.
And I know, shut up and take it, which is what we are doing, because we get the bye and have to win a game to get to our 5th AFC Championship game in a row. I guess we will manage.
