I think we've already clinched a playoff spot. I can't come up with a scenario in which we don't make it in.

Jets and Patriots are the only 2 teams outside of the WC that can tie us record wise. If we lose out and Pats win out they would be in over us because of the head to head matchup this coming Saturday. Even if the Jets win out too they first use a division tiebreaker which eliminates the Jets first and once again leaving it between us and the Pats. Simply put it comes down to us either winning one or Pats losing one to officially clinch.
