What the result changed
We took the current standings (120 games played league-wide), removed this one result to rebuild the numbers before kickoff, and compared. Other games of the same week stay as they are.
Both teams, before → after

Magic number = wins left to lock a top-7 seed (division magic: first place); tragic number = losses left until elimination. Ties count against the team in question (official tiebreakers such as head-to-head are not applied; equal records are ordered by BALLDONTLIE seed). How we calculate →

New to the NFL?
- Seed — seven teams per conference (AFC, NFC) make the playoffs. The four division winners take seeds 1–4 whatever their records; the best three of the rest take seeds 5–7.
- Wild card — seeds 5–7, earned on record without winning the division. Only the No. 1 seed skips the first round (the Wild Card round).
- Tie — a regular-season game still level after a 10-minute overtime ends as a tie, counted as half a win in winning percentage.
