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.

The Jets literally took the Buccaneers down to the final seconds of the game today before losing. They also beat the Bengals and the Titans (with Derrick Henry) earlier this season ...... if they find a way to beat the Bills and the Colts beat the Jaguars, the Colts would own the tie-breaker between the two of them.
