Are the Jets really eliminated?

Looking at the AFC playoff picture according to our league standings and something is wrong. It shows the NY Jets as eliminated, but if that's true then why doesn't the LA Chargers have an x next to them?

Teams In Playoffs for sure

Oakland At 13-2, will either win the West or be the top wildcard.
Kansas City see Oakland
Miami 11-4 wins the East
Cleveland 12-3 wins North
AFC South winner Either Jacksonville or Tennessee wins division

That leaves 1 wildcard spot between:

LA Chargers Currently 9-6, they are 3 point underdogs @ Pittsburgh

NY Jets Currently 8-7 they are 14 point favorites vs Houston

If the point spreads hold and both teams finish 9-7, I'm pretty sure the Jets would be the #6 seed. Chargers and Jets did not play so the first tiebreaker is conference record. Jets would be 8-4, Chargers 5-7.

I did some tweaks to the tiebreakers in 0.4.1. There was a rare situation where it did it in the wrong order, it was brought up about a month or two ago, which is probably what happened here. Oddly enough, this bug was there from day 1, but this is just the second time it's been reported. I didn't hotfix 0.4 because of the potential if it causing other problems. "

Maybe this wasn't fixed in 0.4.2?

Looks like they weren't eliminated after all.

Re: playoffs , there is something very goofy going on with POs and i think there is a bug. Just played Miami, I can't say for 100% but I had set very little rushing as we just can't do it, yet time and time again we ran the ball, I know other owners in different leagues have had similar problems.
I wonder if this is related?
