Bad news, no Honey Badger.

Next man up.

[Jeff Chandler]

Too bad about Honey Badger. On the bright side, the birdies were able to gain on some short yardage situations, albeit against a team known for weakness defending those. That combined with their short punts is the glaring hole in their offense.

joe Ferreira has got the HOUS SOV bit going good ...
could come down to SOS which is SOD

INDY:
buff
nyj
pats
no
car
pitt
jax
hous

HOUS:
KC
car
atl
indy
mia
buff
pats
tn or jax

INDY:

nyj 9
no 5
pitt 9
jax 5

HOUS:
KC 9
atl 7
mia 5
tn or jax 3

28 to 24. Indy leads. Hous has to win SOV outright, not tie.

In an overwhelming disappointing season, still got to see Brees become 4th player in NFL history to surpass 60K yards passing. Congratulations Drew. HOF bound.

how CINCY clinched

nyj 11-5 ..... 8-4
pit 11-5
cin 11-5 ...... 8-4
kc 11-5 ..... 10-2

PITT Gets the division
nyj is out cuz of Common vs. cinn
cinn 4-1
nyj 2-3

if it is
kc 11-5
den 11-5 7-5

kc gets the div
and cinn and nyj wildcard
den is oDD team out cuz of that conf record.

BRONCOS ARE IN TROUBLE

minor correction ... on error

THE 3 WAY TIE:
ALL 3 TEAMS ARE 2-2 HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH THE OTHER 2

PHIL 7-9, 3-3 div, 0-2 uncommon, 7-7 common
NYG 7-9, 3-3 div, 1-1 uncommon, 6-8 common
WASH 7-9, 2-4 div, 2-0 uncommon, 5-9 common

PHILLY TAKES THE 7-9 OVER NYG DUE TO BETTER COMMON GAMES RECORD
PHIL-4

[campaignPete R-CT]

OTHER AFC TIEBREAKERS

jax has tiebreakers over HOUS and INDY and 3-way too.
but if INDY 7th win is vs TN and loss to MIA, then INDY gets the 7-9 3-way tie.
JAX-3
indy-2, NOT CLINCHED.

it would be DENVER OVER CINN AND PATS
AND PATS OVER CINN

PATS vs. CINCY, clinched
PATS-4

CINCY VS PITT
PITT-5 ... Strength of Victory

DEN VS KC
KC-2 ... division record. clinched

[darkangel82]

I can remember, though just barely, when they were in St. Louis. Around this time way back in 1987(I was 5) I was watching a Christmas show and when that was over a Cardinal game came on.
