Eagles (8-1) @ Chiefs (7-2)

NFC Standings right now:

Eagles (8-1)

Lions (8-2)

9r (7-3)

…

If Eagles lose they’re 8-2 like the Lions. But the fun rules in the NFL mean we would be in first place in the NFC, because we beat the Chiefs and they didn’t. (And because both teams beat Tampa)

So tonight I am a chiefs fan. I will put ketchup on my steak. I will do the stupid tomahawk salute. I’ll even listen to a Taylor Swift album. I want to see the Lions at the top of the NFC standings, I will suffer all these indignities if it will help. I’ll sell out to KC for one night only, I might even make red Koolaid.

Will you guys join me?

    You’re incorrect.

    We lose on conference win loss PERCENTAGE

    That’s impossible to calculate until the end of the season, since it’s possible (though unlikely) that a game is cancelled or is not finished.

    They changed the rule after Cinci v Buffalo last year, the Hamlin incident.
