Will they go for 2 after they get the TD ?
There was definitely chatter about seeding the playoff teams by record so that a divisional winner with a losing record wouldn't automatically get a home game, but that divisional winner would still get a playoff spot. If the system was changed so that the six teams with the best record got into the playoffs regardless of division then it makes having divisions and an emphasis on inter-divisional games pointless, which I don't think the league would like.If that happens again and a 10-6 team is left out, you'll hear an uproar around the league. I think I recall them having discussions a bit back about revamping the playoff system for exactly this reason. Not good when you have a division this week and someone HAS to get in. Not good for the NFL's viewership...
Giants are done.
