Appears that the AFC title game will be played a neutral site if the Chiefs and a Bills both win.
The Bengals look to have been screwed quite badly here, as they were going to beat the Bills easily until the abandonment

The bills would have covered the spread easy Rats

Didn’t look that way to me.
But this is the second consecutive season the Bills have forced rule changes.

when they said 9 min to get a rhythm what worried me most was I thought he hemmoraged. usually you can get the heart started on a young person pretty fast if the volume is there.

They haven't been screwed at all. In fact I think they've made out the best.

I thought just expanding the field to 16 this year would have been good, they going to do that soon anyway. However neutral site AFC championship seems fair enough, I'd just do it regardless of what happens in week 18.

the thing is we will be the 1 seed based on win percentage with a bye in the first round - why are we then forced to go neutral site in the title game vs Buffalo?

There isn't an ideal solution here where it's fair on everyone in the AFC.
Teams might now have to go away instead of home or play someone slightly better, but it's the play offs and anything can happen. It's one of those things that can't be helped and the teams will get on with it
Indeed, no team is missing out on their playoff place and Hamlin looks like he'll make a full recovery. It's great news for every fan, the minutiae of seeding will only matter to a few
I'd say any of the top 6 in the AFC can beat each other on a given day. KC will be favourites but Bills and Bengals can win in arrowhead, and have done before.

NFL's proposed approach to cancellation of Bills-Bengals conflicts with 2022 policy manual
The NFL's owners will vote on Friday regarding the specific protocol for playing postseason games among the various AFC teams based on the cancellation of the Week 17 game between the Bills and Bengals.
profootballtalk.nbcsports.com
The proposed solution — including the possibility of a neutral-site AFC Championship and a coin flip to determine the location of a potential wild-card game between the Ravens and Bengals (if the Ravens beat the Bengals on Sunday) violates the plain terms of the NFL’s Policy Manual for Member Clubs, Game Operations 2022 Edition.
Here’s the relevant language, from page A78, under the category of “Emergencies and Unfair Acts” and the specific rule entitled “Competitive Policy for Cancelled Games”: “If a game is cancelled, a team’s standing in its division or in its conference (e.g., qualification as a Wild Card in the playoffs or position in playoff seeding) shall be determined on the basis of its final record. When necessary, playoff tiebreakers shall be calculated according to per game average for all teams.”
Extremely straightforward IMO not sure why the need to throw the official rulebook on this matter out the window?
