There is still a crazy scenario thats still alive where there could be a 5 way tie of 9-7 records for that final AFC playoff spot. Could have been 6 teams if Pittsburgh had beat Cleveland. Even with their remaining schedules, Houston, Tennessee, Miami, New York Jets, and Jacksonville can all end up 9-7. Especially if Indy decides to lay off here now that their fate is set. I think Jacksonville still would get that tie breaker due to the better conference record. Jacksonville or Batimore are the most likely teams to get in with a 9-7 record.
The Jets and Dolphins still have a shot at their Division as the Patriots still aren't quite right. If Carolina was slightly adept they could have knocked them off yesterday. If that happens than things can jumble up with the 10-6 teams.
