They just didn’t have it this year, and had they made the playoffs that likely would’ve been quickly revealed.
Sigh.
If chicago had beaten GB, would have been SEA vs Dal.
Seattle has a 3rd place schedule for next season.
Face AFC South. Get Houston and Indy at home. Road vs Ten and Jax. As the extra game, host Denver without Russ.
Face NFC North. Get GB and Min at home, road vs Det and Chi.
As 3rd place schedule, get ATL and NYG
Thus at home:
SF, LAR, AZ, GB, MIN, Hou, Indy, Den and either ATL or NYG.
On Road:
SF, LAR, AZ, Det, Chi, Jax, Ten, and either ATL or NYG
