A 7-10 split, but I'll take it. Imagine if the Birds had won instead of tied the lowly Bengals. That would mean if next week they skinned that team from DC while the Giants shot down the team from Dallas, we'd have four teams finishing tied at 6-10. Wonder how that would have been decided?

Edit: Per below, it would be the Giants. The Giants and DC would be the only two teams to have beaten a division opponent twice, giving them a tie under #1 under three or more clubs. They would then revert to #1 under the two club rule which the Giants would win having beaten DC twice. That's the tie-break anyhow should the Giants win while DC loses this upcoming week.
