Not sure I understand this. If the Chiefs, Pats and Bills all wind up 12-4, and the Pats win the division tie breaker over the Bills, and we win the head to head over the Pats, how would that not give us a bye along with the Ravens (unless of course Houston finishes at 12-4 and they have the breaker over us).
And if a bye isn’t a possibility, when do we start thinking about resting banged up starters for the playoffs. The division is very close to being in hand.
