I gotta say, what Pettine has managed to do with the Packers's Defense this year with the amount of injuries is pretty impressive. They've got some scrubs, some old dudes, a few rookies and basically a child's wish upon a star and they still seem better than under Capers.
Miami doing the multi-lateral no time left, 69yd to go bullshit "Ehh, it's not going to mean shit", wait, what just happened?
Miami win!
Nothing else matters.

Watson needs to realize you can't keep dropping back 10 yards and trying to make things happen, so many downs were lost due to him basically. He's got the physical skills but he needs to work on the head skills because the Colts' d-line was just running back there to meet him and he was basically giving them a free advantage to the play.
It should have been a victory, but you can't really knock 9 wins in a row, just as long as next week starts another 9 win streak

What's hilarious is that, about 5 minutes before that, Mahones throws an amazing 48 yard on the run cross-body pass on 4 & 9 to keep the Chiefs in the game, and the commentators were gushing about how it was one of the best plays they've seen and that it's going to dominate the highlight reels.
Then they hear about that, and the response was basically:
"Well, I guess we only got the second most amazing play of the day."
I only saw highlights but it looked like tana hill looked pretty good. Every time I'm down on the guy he has a good game that makes me think he is a starting qb.
Bears just beat the Rams and are now tied with them on point differential.
It's too late now, but they've had some unlucky bounces and sequencing to have four losses already. There's some alternate universes where the same team is very much in the hunt for a bye. Either way, they're the divisional-round matchup that neither the Saints nor Rams want.

I was gonna say the Rams would want a rematch on their home turf...but then I remembered they don’t have any.
But yeah, 2 OT losses, a close-ish loss to the Pats, and a dropped easy pick 6 in week 1 that (I think) would have sealed the win.
Did the Bears just clinch a playoff spot, or is there some weird scenario where they'd lose out on a tiebreaker to one of the 6-7 teams if they win out and the Bears lose out?

The Vikings are only 1-loss back, so the Vikings could win the division outright.

That's not relevant to playoff spot, though. Only the Seahawks and Vikings could pass them, which would leave them in the 6 spot even if they lost out.

If the Vikings win out and the Bears lose out, then the Vikings take the division and the Bears are relegated to fighting for a wild card. Then if the Panthers, Eagles, and/or Redskins win out they all finish at 9-7, and then it's up to tiebreakers. Bears might still make it on tiebreakers, but someone would have to do the calculations.

As of right now, it's possible the Bears could miss the playoffs. It's just extremely unlikely.
From my calculation, the only way at this point the Bears don't make the playoffs is if they lose out, the Redskins win out, and the Eagles and Panthers don't win out. Bears win a tiebreaker with Eagles or Panthers involved, but lose a 2-way tiebreaker with Redskins based on common opponents tiebreaker.

So...it's not 100% but it's darn near close.
I'm not sure. I'll say that the official standings and television shows and such often don't have the tiebreakers figured out immediately. If it turns out the tiebreakers all break for the Bears, we'll probably hear about it later this week when they work it all out.
Also, remember that multiple-team tiebreakers are NOT the same as multiple head-to-head tiebreakers. A different set of rules are engaged, so even if the Bears hold head-to-head tiebreakers over the Eagles and Panthers, if there's a logjam, there is a possibility that the Eagles or Panthers might come out of it and not the Bears.

Multiple team tiebreakers will bypass the common opponents tiebreaker, which is the only one the Bears lose to the Redskins. A 3-team tiebreaker goes by conference record, which the Bears can do no worse than tie, then strength of victory, which the Bears lead handily right now thanks to tonight.
So, the only situation in which the Bears don't make the playoffs involves the Bears losing out, the Vikings and Seahawks passing them, the Eagles and Panthers losing at least once, and the Redskins winning out.

So I was tinkering around on the ESPN playoff machine cause why not and it gives it as slightly more likely than this. The tie break it gives that put Washington above the Panthers and Bears is win percentage against common opponents. All academic as the highly specific scenario needed to lock them out just ain't happening.

Please tell me this isn't real.
I mean, they're kicking Atlanta's ass, but still...
Not saying he'd have won this game for them, but you can't really play any fucking worse, can you? At home. Against the Giants?
Fuck it! Let's do this!

The PAT is good! Flag on the play.
"The Browns accept the penalty, and elect to re-kick the PAT"
PAT doinks off the upright.
WTF?

This. Especially the first one. That wasn't a catch, I was really surprised they didn't overturn it.

That being said, look at those schedules...
Even losing the challenges were a win. They got the crowd into the game right away, and I think it put some fire into the players.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
They still have what it takes to play down to the Bungles, however.
First tiebreaker is head to head, which Steelers win 1-0-1.
Common opponents also comes before conference record for division tiebreakers.

Just heard Sanchez had a 0.0 passer rating for that game.
So the answer would be a resounding "No".
