And in a twist of fate...

 

It ended with the same score as when it began...

 

22-16...same score as our loss in the "Forward Lateral" game.

We're damned fortunate that it didn't end up 23-22 with the ST blunder that gave MIA a chance at the end before Poyer's INT.

That wasn't what destiny had in mind for us on this day...

Bills playoff drought ends thanks to tiebreaker that hadn't been used since 2010

The Bills might be the most improbable playoff team in recent NFL history

 

Let's start with the fifth seed in the AFC, which was earned by Tennessee. The Titans got the fifth spot thanks to a pretty common tiebreaker: Conference record. Tennessee's 8-4 mark in the AFC was better than the Bills (7-5), Ravens (7-5) and Chargers (6-6). 

 

Now, this is where things get interesting. The fact that the Chargers had a head-to-head win over Bills didn't matter in the tiebreaker for the sixth spot because it was a three-way tie. In that case, conference record is used, which eliminated the Chargers because they had the worst AFC record out of the three teams. 

 

That left the Bills and Ravens. 

 

Since both teams went 7-5 in the AFC, that takes us to our next tiebreaker, which is, "Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games." The two teams played five common games this season, and they BOTH went 4-1. So yup, we have another tie, so we have to move on to the next tiebreaker. 

 

The next tiebreaker is based on strength of victory. The Bills finished the season with a .396 strength of victory, which gave them the sixth spot over the Ravens, who finished with a .299 strength of victory.

This is cool!

 

The difference between when Boyd makes the catch and then when he actually scores the TD is  AMAZING!!!! That locker room went wild.
