I thought the ball was tipped and the Steelers’ sideline was motioning that it did. Why did they not challenge? I think if it was tipped, the penalty would have been erased.Not sure you can tell me it's happened a lot when a former ref said he's never really seen it along with the broadcast booth. But I'll take your word for it.
See QuantumMechanic's post.So next week’s Baltimore-Cleveland matchup... how does that work? Baltimore being 9-6 and Cleveland being 7-7-1. If Cleveland wins that becomes 9-7 and 8-7-1. Does Baltimore still win the division? Or can Cleveland take it?

That’s not right. According to the NFL ties are considered a half win and a half loss for purposes of computing winning percentage (and winning percentage is what all the tiebreakers involving records are based on) So an 0-0-16 team would be 0.500.Hi Ross, in case of records with a tie, just ignore the tie. It's considered a lost game and and the average is then based on 15 games for 1 tie, 14 games for 2 ties, etc.
I think only Roethlisberger is a bigger injury drama queen than Tyrek Hill....
Thank you for the insight and correcting me!That’s not right. According to the NFL ties are considered a half win and a half loss for purposes of computing winning percentage (and winning percentage is what all the tiebreakers involving records are based on) So an 0-0-16 team would be 0.500.
And just look at PIT. They are 8-6-1. Under your system they’d be 8/(8+6) = 0.571. But they are actually 8.5/(8.5+6.5) = 0.567 as you can see on the NFL’s website.
Likewise, the Packers at 6-8-1 are 6.5/(6.5+8.5) = 0.433 (again, see the NFL website) and not the 0.429 they’d be with your system.
Decades ago ties WERE ignored as you say, but that hasn’t been true for a lonnnnnng time.
