re: Saints, Ravens, and Chiefs dominating their respective divisions

Yes “tied” means you have the same record but a tiebreaker will determine your place in the standings despite having the same record. So just to clarify, just because you are tied in your record, doesn’t mean you’re in first place. At this point though, if the eternal optimists want to parade around saying we’re tied for first and we control our own destiny go ahead. Reality is this is the first time saints won in over a month and it was against the worst team in the league- I highly doubt after 4 games the eternal optimists will be saying they’re anywhere near first in the division.
