If the Rams and Seahawks tie, the tiebreakers are:
1. H2H: Seattle wins if they sweep, so assume we split the series
2. Division record: Assume we both go 5-1
3. Common game record. Seattle went 0-2 in non-common games, Rams went 1-1, so if we tie records, then the Rams must have a worse common game record.
Therefore, Seattle owns the tiebreakers unless they somehow drop week 17 against the Cardinals.
Rams must have a better record or else they lose the division and must fight for a wild card.
Note: This is almost certainly not going to matter, because if we win in Seattle, there is almost no chance we still tie records, and if we lose in Seattle, then they win on the first tie breaker anyway.
