lol, looks like the browns got benched from tv today for a more competive game, kc-raiders now on.
 
Colt McCoy better get used to being in the same division as the Steelers... the kid got destroyed today.

A truly horrible game. I thought that was a punt at first, had to rewind as I wasn't paying attention... That might be the worst pass I've ever seen.
 
Why is it the Ravens are so crappy against Cincinnati? Five turnovers by the Bengals are the Ravens *still* almost lost.
 
If the Packers and Giants both win, what happens with the wild card slot? Does GB get it because they have a better division record?

TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM

If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.

1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.
2. If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head, if applicable.
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
4. Strength of victory.
5. Strength of schedule.
6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
8. Best net points in conference games.
9. Best net points in all games.
10. Best net touchdowns in all games.
11. Coin toss.

they're not in the same division so that doesn't apply, what normally separates teams is conference records, but those would be identical if they both win, however they did play head to head and Green Bay won, so there's nothing fancy to determine GB as the wild card if they both win their last games

Head-to-head record (assuming the teams played one another) is the first tie breaker in the event of two teams finishing with the same record. Green Bay beat the Giants so Green Bay would get in.
