So I guess if there's a bright side, the Colts, as far as I can tell, still control their own destiny for the playoffs if they just beat the Jags next week. The Ravens losing was huge.
If Pittsburgh and the Chargers win today, that'll make the Chargers 9-7 and the Steelers 8-7-1.
So if that result happens, here is what the records would look like
Chiefs 11-5
Titans 11-5
Bengals 10-6
Bills 10-6
WC
Pats 10-6
Raiders 9-7
Chargers 9-7
Colts 9-7
Steelers 8-7-1
So Assuming the Pats win their last game, there's one WC down. The Raiders and Chargers play each other, so one will lose (or they'll both tie, which is also fine because the Colts will have more wins than both at that point), but that will knock one to 8 losses while the other will get a WC spot.
Then if the Colts win, they'll be at 7 losses.
So yeah, the Rams really did the Colts a big favor today. The Colts still control their own destiny.
Unless I'm missing something.
