A 49ers loss allows the Saints to "essentially" control their own destiny for the playoffs

faceman said
It would then go to the next tie breaker which is overall record vs common opponents ( for the two teams who
have the same conference record )

Is that how it works?
So if 2 teams are tied with the best conference record of the 3, the 3rd team is eliminated?
Sorry to ask another question.
No need to respond.
Thanks for your input.
