How are the Falcons still in the Hunt today (12-22-2015)?

The Falcons are 7-7.

The Vikings are 9-5.

Even if we win the next two and they lose the next two, we will both be:  9-7.

However, Earlier this season.  They beat us 20-10.

Wouldn't that mean that we lose to them head to head or is there something else in this that is not mentioned?

If it's a three way, Falcons and Seahawks get in and Minnesota is out because of in conference record.

I've got to say that i'm not that interested in the falcons getting in.   They are a subpar team and will just get embarrassed in the playoffs.   Plus I think Shanahan needs to be fired and a late run to the playoffs will probably take that away as a possibility.     I mean we finally won last week but couldn't even manage a TD in the second half.

I don't think you have to worry. You guys won't get in.
