SO MY POINT IS: AFTER week #9 cinncy became 5-0 in thier division,so going into week #10 why doesnt the paper standings or even when shown on espn, they also dont have a little * next to cinn name that they clinched and won thier division and they are garunteed in the playoffs? is this true??? even if cinncy losses the rest of thier regular season games they are still in no matter what even lossing all the games left in regular season from week # 10 and on to end of regular season.Pitt. has no chanch to win division just wildcard only?? is this true? how do they figure it out? so in the nfl all a team has to worry about is just to win all 6 of your division games, and the team could lose the rest of the games going 6-11 and they garunteed to win thier division and be in the playoffs automatically? is this crap true? how does the nfl handle this case? plese someone answer me with the true answer. tony

Playoffs are determined by the best record in all games first.
Head to head is next
Then division tie breaker.
Pittsburgh is only a game behind the Bengals. 
Going 6-0 in the division does NOT guarantee you a playoff spot.

hey FREAKYFRESH NO don't worry i am not gambling just i wanted to prove to my 2 buddy's their wrong and aim right because i was arguing with 2 of my buddy's that are Miami fans also to top
things off and to make matters worse for me, but i told them dudes you
guys are crazy the nfl and the teams are practicing in the beginning of
the season and you think the head coach tells his players that all we
have to do is focus on only, i repeat only on our games that we play
teams only in our division and if we go either 5-1 or 6-0 our team is
automatically div. champs and guaranteed in the playoffs. i said dudes
you guys are nuts nfl is not set up that way just win those div.games
and lose the rest non div games and were in. no way, and we argued back
n forth and than they brought up about the time years ago when Miami
got in as wild card and won their div. or something like that, that
someone got screwed. i said ya i searched that year and i found it and
it was a year with big controversy in it especially after playoffs are
over, w/ Miami or something but after that year they implemented a new
law for the next up coming playoffs and no laws have been changed since. i would like to chat with you sometime can we be friends and except me?, thanks tony
