Well, that totally sucked. HOU poses a huge threat to our making the playoffs. The chances of a Miami comeback are near zero.
Now we have to root for Cincy. If Cincy wins (and somehow they are struggling against KC) then the #3 seed remains in doubt. HOU finishes with NE at home. We want NE motivated for that game. The motivation for them would be to avoid IND until the AFCCG. It would come down to a question of being healthy versus getting the 3-seed. Hard to tell what they would do. I don't like it. But it is pretty much our last hope.
We lose any 3-or-more tiebreaks with Houston involved.
