Ware and Miller are splitting sack opportunities between each other...Though, I'm actually surprised 2015 Ware is 2nd in sacks, he was hurting in several games last year.

The Broncos are in. Even if they lose and the Patriots win, they'd get the first-place tie-breaker in the three-way tie due to being 3-1 in head to head meetings with the other two teams (while the Bills would be 2-2 and the Patriots 1-3). If this happens, the Bills and Patriots would play in a wild card game for the right to face the Broncos in the AFC Title Game. If the Bills win tomorrow, they're in. A Bills win and a Broncos loss would give the Bills the #1 seed. If both teams win, the #1 seed would depend on how the NFC shakes out (they split head-to-head meetings, so the next tie-breaker is record against the best team in the entire league, followed by record against the second best team in the entire league, and so on).

If the Bears win, they're in. If the Packers win, they're in. If the Packers win and the Cowboys win, the Packers get the #1 seed due to the three-way head-to-head tie-breaker (the Packers would be 3-1, the Cowboys 2-2, and the Bears 1-3). In this situation, the Bears & Cowboys would play a wild card game for the right to face the Packers in the NFC title game. If the Packers and Cowboys both lose, they would play a wild card game for the right to face the Bears in the NFC title game (the Packers, Cowboys, and Lions would all be 9-5, but the Packers and Cowboys would get the spots in the wild card game due to three-way head-to-head tie-breakers, with the Packers being 3-1, the Cowboys 2-2, and the Lions 1-3) . If the Bears and Cowboys both lose, the Packers are the #1 seed and the Bears are the #2 seed.

So, long story short, a whole lot is riding on Packers-Bears and Bills-Patriots.

Also, apologies if any of this is wrong. It's a lot to wrap my head around.

Oh man, first team in the playoffs despite having a losing record. I'll take it, given that the bookies are going to put the AFC champion as a double digit underdog.

Orpheus says he wants to run the Raiders when we do this next year. There will be rumors that you retired out of fear. We can't have that...
