I know it is unlikely but it is possible:
If Miami wins out (by default Jets lose one) and the Pats win out and Jets win 3 out of 4, then wins the division at 11-5.
That would be amazing for Phin fans. That MIA vs NYJ game is looking really big for the AFC East.
By the way, Jets at 11-5 would be out. So it is possible for a 11-5 to be out.

Exactly. Here's how it works.
We're tied with the Phins.
The Ty (sic) breakers for us both being 11-5 are as follows... - Head-to-head (team with the best record in all games played between the teams tied)
- Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. (This is for determining Division Champion; also, if there is a tie for a wild-card berth, this is used for breaking ties within a division.)
- Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games (only applicable with a minimum of 4 common opponents)
- Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
1&2 we would be tied.
Skip 3 because we don't have 4 common opponents (this is where Miami's easier opponents schedule really aids them)
4 is where we buy the farm since we now have 5 Conference losses and Miami only has 4 Conf losses. Miami wins out and we are toast.
Worse yet, I will be serving Life in prison for choking to death that Wide Receiver twerp.
