in that 3-way tie, DAL - GB - AZ
dallas cannot get the 5th seed, because AZ has clinched SOV over dallas. So AZ either gets the #5 over GB based on SOV or the lose out to GB and get the #6 vs DAL based on h2h.

AZ vs DAL SOV at 11-5 8-4
7 uncommon wins

AZ:
KC SD OK DAL SF STL DET current total is 48
DAL:
JAX TN HOUS NYG SEA CHI NO current total is 34

because of h2h meetings, in those 7 opponents DAL max is:
34 plus 21 - 3 h2h = 52

because of h2h meetings, in those 7 opponents AZ min is:
48 plus 2 dal plus 3 h2h = 53

AZ MIN beats the DAL max, therefore AZ has clinched SOV over DALLAS and the 3-way tiebreaker in addition to the h2h 2way tiebreaker.

so yes, AZ has clinched playoffs as soon as DAL or PHIL gets their 5th loss ... this SUN. (unless PH-DAL game ends in tie.)

they haven’t clinched if

PHIL 11-4-1
DAL 11-4-1
