So it will effect Buffalo only? That's the best case scenario. Not because they deserve anything bad to happen to them because of what happened to Hamlin. But solely to make it have the smallest impact as possible on the league as a whole. They'll still smoke the 1st team they play. But will hurt them in the championship round if Kansas City wins their divisional round game. There is no perfect solution. And there can't be to such an unprecedented situation.

Adding an 8th team would eliminate the bye for 2 teams.
