Oh - I agree. But I still think they would have made the playoffs, because their defense was historically good, but would not have had home field. There were several others they won in that fashion too. (Much like the Raiders of 2016.) The MNF against the Patriots, with Brock as QB, comes to mind. New England stopped them late in the game deep in New England Territory - then the phantom" Illegal Contact" was called to give them another chance to score. They did. Game Over (Blatant Offensive Holding was ignored in the process). Brock even made the cover of SI with the caption "BROCK ON!" Donx owned the tie-breaker which later came into play in the playoffs.
