and
the Saints lose v. Philly and @ Chicago (finish 7-9)
and
the Panthers lose either v. Dallas or @ Tampa Bay (finish 7-9 or worse)
and
the Eagles beat the Saints then lose to Buffalo (I think the Eagles could possibly get in with common opponents tiebreaker if they finished 8-8 because at 8-8, losing to the Cowboys, the Skins would be tied with the Eagles in pretty much every other tiebreaker. And, of course, they'd have to beat New Orleans in this scenario so you'd be relying on Buffalo).
No matter how you break it down, a loss to Minnesota would be the end of the game, unless the Vikings lose tonight and then to Denver in Week 17.
