We need the Ravens to beat the Steelers. The divisional record is the second tie-breaker behind head-to-head and since we don’t play the Steelers it’s the only way to get the bye with the same record.

You’re right of course — all kidding aside — but the Ravens are probably the best chance to get that win and it also helps with the head-to-head in common opponents which is the third tie-breaker.

Divisional record is a tie-breaker only if you're in the same division with the other team. We're not in the same division with the Steelers, so it moves on to the next tie-breaker.
