READ ACROSS. Example, the Dolphins have clinched the tiebreaker vs. BUFF & CLEVE & SD.

SD vs. PITT

SD has clinched common.
if they tie and SD catches PITT in CONF, then COMMON goes to SD.

common are BALT KC JAX NYJ
PITT 2-2-1 KC REMAINS
SD 3-1-1 KC REMAINS

UNCOMMON CONF IS PITT 5-1-1, SD 3-3-1. SD HAS clinched worse in uncommon, therefore best in common.

DEN has clinched tiebreak over SD.
at 10-6 it is Common games
at 11-5 it is Conf record

INDY has clinched common over HOUS, so magic# is 1 DiV win or 1 HOUS DIV loss to clinch tiebreak. Ex, if INDY beats TENN, they clinch the tiebreak and, thus, the division at 10-6.

MIA has clinched tiebreaker over PATS. So PATS magic# is 1 to clinch division.

for the BYE:
INDY lost to both DEN and PATS, so they need a 2-game swing to get a bye.
