So for ex. if Pats and Broncos were to finish 2nd in their divisions these two QBs would meet again next year in Gillette stadium.....
Just thought i would point it out

Thanks. I don't know how that works. I'll take your word for it but we're all pretty sure that ain't gonna happen like that. It's a better possibility that they meet in the playoffs.
Do me a favor and send that explanation to Bob "Mr. Football" Ryan.This is the reason why the Patriots and Colts met every year for so many years. Now that Manning is in Denver maybe it will translate there.
Which becomes a bit weird when you finished tied within your own division. That means you are tied with more than one team when you include the inter-divisional teams. They have to apply all the tie breakers to know which divisional opponent to select.The two remaining games are played against the two other teams within your conference that finished in the same place as your team did.

I don't think it's a stretch that the Chargers fall apart and yield to the Broncos, which sets up another firstplace-firstplace matchup between the Broncos and Pats next year. I do believe that the location is selected by W-L record between the two firstplace teams, but I could be wrong about that.

They have to do it anyway to determine draft order (for non-playoff teams) and playoff seeding (obviously for playoff teams). There are no ties within a division at the end of an NFL season, even for teams with the same record.Which becomes a bit weird when you finished tied within your own division.
