Playoffs

Is there still a chance for 3 seed? I’m thinking not since the Rams beat us.
Also what would happen if Atlanta and Carolina tie?

We'd have to finish ahead of the Rams. So a Saints win/tie coupled with a Rams loss (Cardinals) would secure the 3rd seed.

Seeding wise, I'm not sure it's much difference.

Also what would happen if Atlanta and Carolina tie?

Then it would depend on the Seahawks, who would be in a "win and in" situation. The Panthers would have the 5th seed regardless in the event of a tie presuming a Saints win.

Personally, I don't know what LA needs to play starters for. Is it that important for NFL teams to have the 3 seed as opposed to the 4?
