For a moment, let’s say in Week 17 we have the following four results: Jets over Miami, Cincinnati (which has but a vague hope of getting a bye) beats Baltimore, Kansas City over San Diego, and Pittsburgh over Cleveland. That would create this logjam for the sixth seed:
Team Record
Pittsburgh 8-8
New York Jets 8-8
San Diego 8-8
Miami 8-8
Baltimore 8-8
In a five-way playoff tie, you first break ties within divisions. The Jets would eliminate Miami by virtue of a better division record (3-3 to 2-4). Pittsburgh eliminates Baltimore by having a better division record (4-2 to 3-3). That narrows it to Pittsburgh, San Diego and the Jets.
We go to conference-games tiebreaker. Pittsburgh would be 6-6. San Diego and the Jets would be 5-7. That’s it. And Pittsburgh would make it … after being 2-6 at the midway point, losing to Minnesota in London and Oakland in the Black Hole, and giving up 55 points to the wounded Patriots. Crazy league.

yeah that is pretty crazy. the nfl does it right with all these divisional games at the end of the season though. the playoffs basically start this week for a number of teams.
1) BAL win + SD loss OR
2) BAL win + MIA loss OR
3) PIT loss + SD loss + MIA loss
MIAMI DOLPHINS
Miami clinches a playoff spot with:
1) MIA win + BAL loss OR
2) MIA win + SD win
PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Pittsburgh clinches a playoff spot with:
1) PIT win + BAL loss + MIA loss + SD loss
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS
San Diego clinches a playoff spot with:
1) SD win + BAL loss + MIA loss
The fact that the final AFC Wild Card cannot be clinched by a team without help is boggleing my mind... How is that possible? Surely there is a scenario that isn't covered... What happens if everyone wins/everyone loses?
Every scenario is covered, If everybody wins or everybody loses, Miami gets the spot (unless everybody loses and Pittsburgh wins)
Miami, San Diego, and Baltimore are all 8-7. With three-way ties, head-to-head tie-breakers don't count unless every team has played each other. Baltimore beat Miami, Miami beat San Diego, but Baltimore and San Diego didn't play each other...so head-to-head is irrelevant if they all finish tied. So if they all win to get to 9-7, Miami will get in with the best conference record. Now if only two of the teams finish 9-7, then head-to-head tie-breakers will be applicable if it's MIA/SD (MIA gets in) or MIA/BALT (BALT gets in) that finish 9-7. If it's BALT/SD that finish 9-7, then Balt will get in with a better conference record than SD.
As for Pittsburgh, check out JK_Livin's post from above.

But look at the info above. Number 3 under Baltimore says they clinch a playoff spot with losses by Pittsburgh, San Diego, and Miami. If they also needed to win to get in under a particular scenario, it would typically say that (as with numbers 1 and 2). So doesn't that mean that Baltimore gets in if all 4 teams lose next week?

Okay, I actually misspoke when I said if everybody lost, Miami would be in. It would in fact be Baltimore. Here's why:
If Pitt loses, they're 7-9 and they're done. If Miami, SD, and Balt all lose, they'd all finish 8-8. I was thinking that since they'd all be 8-8 and Miami would have the best conference record, Miami would get in. I forgot that a Miami loss means they would have lost to the Jets, and thus the Jets would also finish 8-8. So it would be a four-way tie at 8-8 between Miami, Jets, Balt, and San Diego. Division tie-breakers are used first in the tie-breaking "hierarchy" so Miami would be eliminated right off the bat because the Jets would have a better division record than them. With Miami gone, that would leave a three-way tie at 8-8 between the Jets, Ravens, and Chargers and the Ravens would win that tie-breaker with the best conference record.
That's how Pittsburgh is even still alive. The lost to Miami and can't finish with a better conference record than them, but a five-way tie at 8-8 between Pitt, Balt, Mia, SD, and NYJ would cause the Ravens to be immediately eliminated cause they wouldn't have as good a division record as Pitt, Miami would be gone cause they won't have as good a division record as NYJ, and this would leave a three-way tie between Pitt, SD, and NYJ, that the Steelers would win that with the best conference record.

I've been a playoff scenario dork from a very young age. My math notebook in elementary school was filled with stuff like "SF Win + Dal Loss/Tie OR Green Bay......etc" Once the playoffs would start in January, I turned my attention to filling up pages with who I thought the 30 guys in the Royal Rumble might be.

Not so much predicting the scenarios but just knowing what's good and what's bad for each team each week. in December Like, as soon as things went to shit for my Dolphins yesterday in Buffalo, I knew exactly what we'd need going forward. And I actually like their scenario cause they have two outs. They have to win and have a Baltimore loss OR a San Diego win. If their only scenario was win and need Baltimore to lose, that wouldn't be awful but wouldn't be ideal either. At least now, if Miami and Baltimore both win at 1, San Diego can bail out Miami with a win at 4:30. So I like having the two outs. Though it'll all be moot when the Dolphins lose to the Jets.

And Pittsburgh would make it … after being 2-6 at the midway point, losing to Minnesota in London and Oakland in the Black Hole, and giving up 55 points to the wounded Patriots. Crazy league.

I've been a playoff scenario dork from a very young age. My math notebook in elementary school was filled with stuff like "SF Win + Dal Loss/Tie OR Green Bay......etc" Once the playoffs would start in January, I turned my attention to filling up pages with who I thought the 30 guys in the Royal Rumble might be.

Not so much predicting the scenarios but just knowing what's good and what's bad for each team each week. in December Like, as soon as things went to shit for my Dolphins yesterday in Buffalo, I knew exactly what we'd need going forward. And I actually like their scenario cause they have two outs. They have to win and have a Baltimore loss OR a San Diego win. If their only scenario was win and need Baltimore to lose, that wouldn't be awful but wouldn't be ideal either. At least now, if Miami and Baltimore both win at 1, San Diego can bail out Miami with a win at 4:30. So I like having the two outs. Though it'll all be moot when the Dolphins lose to the Jets.

Yep, especially living in this town.
Eagles are gonna roll them though
they're the highest scoring team in the conference and the defense has only given up 20 pts per game in the 2nd half of the season. they might be a little better than you think.
