Good game, trslick!
Yeah, I think there is still a bug with multiple teams tying for the last wildcard. I wish there was just a coin flip, I think my chances would increase when this happens!
The glitch is the standings before week 16, when they show who is eliminated, etc. To the best of my knowledge, MFN has always got the playoff teams correct.
For our league this season, we had a 3 way wildcard tie, and using the NFL tiebreaking procedures, Pittsburgh is eliminated.
https://www.nfl.com/standings/tiebreakingproceduresTiebreaker 1: Does not apply as all 3 teams are in different divisions.
Tiebreaker 2: No team swept the others, move to step 3
Tiebreaker 3: Conference Record, all 3 teams were 8-4, move to step 4
Tiebreaker 4: Common opponents, minimum of 4: The 3 teams involved had exactly 4 common opponents, Denver, New England, Tennessee and Cincinnati.
Kansas City and New York were both 4-1 against those 4 teams
Pittsburgh was 3-2 against those same 4 teams, therefore Pittsburgh is eliminated
