I looked up the Belcher incident mostly to refresh my memory of the timeline.
I simply read the Wiki page so not claiming it as definitively accurate but there was a nugget in there about how the NFL met with the Chiefs and a decision was made between the two of them to play the game the next day with the Panthers.
So while obviously not perfectly aligned with the Buffalo situation, if you believe that really transpired between the NFL and KC, then its not out of the question to speculate something similar likely occurred between the NFL and Buffalo about how they wanted to handle it.
