I don't know when they changed the tie-break rules for a division (several years ago), but the "common games" percentage is used before "conference record" to break a tie within a division. It's different for wild cards where conference record is next after head-to-head.

I always believed it to be.

1.Head to Head
2.Divisional
3.Conference
4.Strength of schedule

Yeah, if teams are from same division, for a WC spot, you apply division tie-breaker.

From NFL.com:

To Break A Tie Within A Division

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.

Two Clubs

1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
5. Strength of victory in all games.
6. Strength of schedule in all games
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.
9. Best net points in common games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss

To Break A Tie For The Wild-Card Team
If it is necessary to break ties to determine the three Wild-Card clubs from each conference, the following steps will be taken.

1. If the tied clubs are from the same division, apply division tiebreaker.
2. 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 in all games.
5. Strength of schedule in all games.
6. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.
7. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.
8. Best net points in conference games.
9. Best net points in all games.
10. Best net touchdowns in all games.
11. Coin toss.

Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after one-or-more clubs are eliminated during any step, tiebreaker restarts at Step 1 of two-club format. If three clubs remain tied after a fourth club is eliminated during any step, tiebreaker restarts at Step 2 of three-club format.)

1. Apply division tiebreaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tiebreaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.
2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.
5. Strength of victory in all games.
6. Strength of schedule in all games.
7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.
8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.
9. Best net points in conference games.
10. Best net points in all games.
11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
12. Coin toss

When the first Wild Card team has been identified, the procedure is repeated to name the second and third Wild Card (i.e., eliminate all but the highest-ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to Step 2). In situations in which three teams from the same division are involved in the procedure, the original seeding of the teams remains the same for subsequent applications of the tiebreaker if the top-ranked team in that division qualifies for a Wild Card berth.

Lol I wouldn't want to play them again. Their defense is vicious

Outside of the Bears game the Browns have been competitive as of late so if the refs don't the scales the Browns have shot.

Yes but the Browns are not beating the Steelers. Even as unimpressive the Steelers are. They might now though with the Steelers able to rest starters.

I wouldn't be so sure of that they played the Bills tough and the Steelers can't rest starters at this point nothings been decided in that division.

All the good luck has definitely run out for the Chiefs this season. Amazing that one week after losing Mahomes with an ACL injury they lose their backup with the same injury. What are the odds of that?

Looks like the fan that DK almost punched called him the n-word and referred to his mother in a derogatory way. Reports say that DK Metcalf reported this same fan LAST YEAR when he was playing for Seattle.

If this is true, then DK should not get suspended just fined and POS "fan" should be barred from attending NFL games.

Someone should chin check him first, then banned from games (not even tailgate in parking lot)

Whoever let him back in to watch games should get banned too lol

You can clearly hear the fan yell that he wanted an autograph on the small shirt he had and called him by his full name. Nothing else. No name calling or slurs. Metcalf made all that up.

I should've known that drelly and Metcalf would be in on some BS like this

If that was the same fan and he got punched for no good reason, I hope Metcalf gets a lifetime hammy (F'k him)

The NFL needs to do a better job with security. Or maybe Detroit does with its own security.

It's always some a*****e fan from Detroit instigating incidents.
