Head to head doesn't apply in a three way tie, it goes off of conference record, and Philly and New Orleans beag us in that department.
HTH only applies in a three way tie if one team beat all of the others, or lost to all the others. Since the 49ers did not play the Saints, HTH does not apply and then it goes to conference record. That is where we get knocked out if there is a three-way tie involving the Saints. So the *easiest* path is a 49ers win vs LAR, or a Saints loss to ATL. There *could* be other combinations that get us there, but this is the easiest.
