Who Beat Who Now

Last week we took a look at all 12 teams that made the playoffs and how their won-loss record against each other stacked up.  San Diego had the best over all record but had to play a team on the road that ironically had beaten them.  Didn't matter the team with the best record won San Diego.

Now a week later let's look at who is left and how they stack up against each other.  We will start with San Diego.  They split during the season with Denver losing at home 20-28 but won in December in Denver 27-20. That is an overall score of 56-55 Denver in the two matchups.  San Diego beat Indy in
