The Bengals still could have a shot at the 2 seed, which means you play the 7 seed in round one and Division round home game. They still might have a shot at the one seed too. So I doubt they want to forfeit.
If they played that game on a Thursday night than these teams play the following Sunday they at least would get an extended break before having to play a playoff game.
If anything a two week bye for the top NFC team might result in them getting a bit stagnant for their first game.
