How do we back in to the playoffs?

To answer the OP, we can get in by winning the division with the scenarios already mentioned. Each team losing one or Cle/Pitt tie and bal loss.

Or we get in with a tiebreaker at 9-8 if we have 2+ 9-8 teams tied with us in almost every tie breaker scenario with that many 9-8 teams. We lose if it’s only us and Chargers at 9-8 due to head to head. We lose tiebreaker with multiple teams if the pats fall to 9-8 too, but most scenarios with us and 2 other teams tied at 9-8 involve us making it.

If Baltimore and Cleveland both win out then we are in trouble though. Or if a bunch of WC contenders win out. If most go 1-1 we are in good shape.
