Yet only one team in the history of the league has won every game. Go figure.

Objectively, that is not true. There are some games that are more important that others. In approximate order of importance:

1) Division games. Head to head in the division and then division record are the 1st two tiebreakers in the division.

2) Common opponents. Important because teams in a division share 12 out of 17 opponents (4 in the division, 8 inter and intra conference games)

3) Conference opponents. Conference record is used for wildcard tiebreakers.

So, for example the Giants game simply isn't as important as a Failclows game as no one else in the division played the Giants.

Beating the Failclowns the first time would have secured the division. It was a must win. Beating the Rams? Not so much as it's only in category 3 above.

It's official now. Payton Turner has been activated from IR to the active roster and is expected to play. We can use a fresh motor in the pass rush for this game and our playoff run.
