Oh man... skip ahead to 4:06 to see one of the most bizarre occurrences I can recall in all the years I've been watching football. Long story short, the Packers and Panthers playoff tiebreaker came down to net point differential, which led to them watching the out of town scoreboards and playing each other by proxy. That caused some very usual scenes such as both teams running two minute drills in the 4th quarter despite having dominated their actual, in-stadium opponents (Cardinals and Saints, respectively) all afternoon. Then, to top it all off, the Packers (who won the "proxy game") ended up getting leap-frogged by someone else for the last playoff spot, making the entire spectacle for naught. Tiebreakers (according to Wikipedia) ''Dallas was the second NFC Wild Card based on better record against common opponents (3–2 to Lions' 3–3) and better conference record than Carolina (7–5 to Panthers' 6–6).'' ''Detroit was the third NFC Wild Card based on better conference record than Green Bay (7–5 to Packers' 6–6) and better conference record than Carolina (7–5 to Panthers' 6–6).''
