Could someone explain "Strength of Victory"?

Wait a minute, before you get to “strength of victory” the NFL lists W/L of common games.

We WON agInst the Jets, they LOST. What about that?

If Dallas beats Miami and Philly beats Arizona, it’s a wash. On to the next tiebreaker….

In a tie breaker situation at the end of the season with the Cowboys and the Eagles? I mean didn't we both lose now to someone in another division (Cardinals, they loss to the Seahawks)

We really need Seattle and Detroit to finish strong.

This part. We knew we needed to beat the Eagles in our first matchup, and if we would have, we wouldn’t be having this conversation at all right now.

Yea I mean if they just went undefeated we wouldn't be having this conversation.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Beating teams with winning records is more impressive than piling up points against scrubs.

Not really.

A 3-score win against a 5-6 team is a lot more meaningful than a last-second field goal against a 6-5 team.

Need more than that

Lol
If we both win out we are even in 1-4
That’s why everyone is focused on SOV

They do matter but unfortunately, it won’t get to that point

Probably not...
