Years ago with Shula coaching on the last week, we played Detroit I think. Our own game meant squat to us. Didn't matter if we won or loss. However the Oakland Denver game on the same day determined our playoff status. We needed one of those two teams to lose, I don't remember which. Because their loss gave us a better conference record. I believe we got in but as I said in another thread, my memory sucks. Soon after, the NFL went to all division games in week 17 so that situation never happens again.
