WEEK 17

Dallas vs WASH - Winner takes the NFC East? I don't get how if Dallas and Washington split victories and have identical division records (4-2).....you would default to conference record

Wash would be 7-5, Dallas would be 6-6 (am I missing some other tiebreak here?) - I am SO darn confused.....especially after NO beat Dallas.....had that gone the other way I could see Dallas still being in it......

Someone Help me to understand....I thought I was pretty savvy with these things.....appears I have overlooked something.....

I really want to see who controls their own destinies and why.....lol Gonna be a crazy week 17....unfortunately for me I have to try to figure out what to do because for my fantasy football league as I don't think our starters will play very long......and i am tied right now with week 17 deciding my championship......
