NFL Tiebreaker

Starting in 1967, a tiebreaking system was implemented that started with net points in head-to-head competition, followed by the team that had less recently played in a title game. As such, only one team in a division would be the division winner, even if the win–loss record was the same.

• Central division – If Green Bay and Chicago finish with identical records, Green Bay would win the tiebreaker do to a +15 net point advantage.
• Capitol division – If Dallas and Washington finish with identical records, Dallas would win the tiebreaker do a + 8 net point advantage.
