We didn't play Minnesota this year, so head to head is out.
The Vikings have lost 4 games this year, all NFC games (Philadelphia, Dallas, Detroit, and Green Bay)
We also have 4 losses, two to AFC teams (Denver and Kansas City) and two to NFC teams (Atlanta and Chicago).
As a result of that, we beat them on conference record, and win the tiebreaker.
Will just post the vs. 2 and vs. 3 here and elsewhere, since it'll keep coming up...
Additional Notes:
- 1. Only one club advances at any stage of a tiebreaking procedure. The remaining clubs are then assessed from step 1 of the applicable tiebreak procedure.
- 2. When records against common opponents are considered, the win percentage is the deciding factor as opposed to the number of wins. This is because some teams may face a common opponent twice. For example, if the Texans and Ravens are tied with the Colts as a common opponent, the Texans would have played them twice, compared to once for the Ravens.
- 3. To determine the best-combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed, add a team's position in the two categories, and the lowest score wins. For example, if Team A is first in points scored and second in points allowed, its combined ranking is "3." If Team B is third in points scored and first in points allowed, its combined ranking is "4." Team A then wins the tiebreaker.
