It's likely the fairest way of doing so, although the Bengals, who were clearly rolling, end up with the short stick here. A victory over the Bills and then a Jacksonless Ravens team sewed up a #2 seed with a chance at the # 1 seed.
Now they need the Bills to lose to have a chance at the #2 seed, and no chance at all at the #1 seed.
I believe there is some thought that any playoff games involving the Chiefs/Bills/Bengals will be played in a neutral stadium if the Bengals/Bills, game, if played, could have changed the seeding between those teams.
