On the off chance

Can someone tell me what this nonsense is that Tampa Bay has the tie breaker over New Orleans? Didn't we beat them? They have more losses than we do, how do they have the tie breaker. This is confusing.

If they beat us they finish 10-6, 3-3 Div, 8-4 NFC, which is identical to our record so it has to be common opponents.

They won, we lost - Arizona, Cleveland,

We won, they lost - Pittsburgh

All else is equal so they'd win the common opponent tie-breaker.
