1. To add a wrinkle, two other teams need DEN to lose to have a chance at the playoffs.

The NFL hates cancelling games outright in general, but that impulse ought be multiplied by this game having playoff implications. Even if KC said "hey, we happily forfeit since we got the #1 seed anyway" the NFL would not go for it (if the NFL were consistent, that is).

Maybe if CIN and MIA both lose and DEN clinches the last wildcard spot regardless of KC-DEN game outcome, maybe then the NFL would claim the travel was a safety issue and cancel the game. Even that is doubtful based on their usual way of doing things.
