Yeah, if the Jets lose out, and Cincy beats Arizona. And SD and Oakland each lose at least once (and they play each other in week 17).

In short, they can get in at 9-7 if they are the only team at 9-7 fighting for the spot , or they and Tennessee are the only teams at 9-7 fighting for the spot.

But they won't know they have clinched until after the game with Baltimore.
