Weird wrap-up to this league, suitable for the 2020 nonsense we have grown accustomed to.
The final #6 playoff seed didn't get decided until the last week, when a convoluted set of things happened to let a 6-7 team squeak in.
Then, in the semifinals, the #6 seed managed to win its game on MNF based on the strength of the hobo that the Bengals plugged in when their own backup (third stringer?) got hurt. That was weird.
Then, the same #6 team managed to mess up his lineup, starting Marcus Mariota and watching him ride the bench, and had to sweat MNF again, this time rooting against... (checks notes)... the immortal Dawson Knox. Knox didn't score, fell 40 yards short of a win, and the #6 seeded team edged out the #5 seed to take home the title.
Yay me.
