HOUSTON TEXANS

HOUSTON can clinch a playoff spot with:
1) HOU win + BAL loss + SD loss

How is this possible? Some JJ Watt for MVP conspiracy theory.

TO BREAK A TIE FOR THE WILD-CARD TEAM

If it is necessary to break ties to determine the two Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.

If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tie breaker.
If the tied clubs are from different divisions, apply the following steps.

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head, if applicable.
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
4. Strength of victory.
...
Houston beat Baltimore head to head this last week.

Houston didn't play SD so you go to the next tiebreaker and Houston would have a better conference record (8-4) than San Diego (6-6)
