They handed New Orleans a win, basically it was a unofficial forfeit. That being said, what if the saints win the conference by one game, how does Seattle or Green bay overlook that. The saints should beat Denver under all circumstances....but on any given Sunday you never know especially with Drew Breese out. What the NFL did was to avoid the Super bowl being pushed beyond Feburary 7. The Steelers and the Ravens are getting screwed over also....a game on Wednesday, and then play on Sunday? If the Steelers lose Wednesday, they might be in for a rough finish.
