Winning out: What does it even look like?

Thankfully it’s not a must that we win out, but we definitely need to win those last two.

We should win out if our defense plays as well as last night, but our offense needs to be much more efficient at sustaining drives
Wouldn't us getting in the playoffs at 9-8 involve a fair amount of help from other teams though? I think even if we win out, we could still miss the playoffs (I think MIN currently has a tiebreaker on us and if they beat CHI tonight we would be out of the playoffs if the season ended tonight)?
