Final edition (I hope) of the KC elimination scenarios. (The portions in italics are purely related to Strength of Victory (typically JAX clinching over KC, but with the occasional MIA or BAL wrinkle), which is why NFC teams show up in them)

Yeah, the only reason PHI mattered for WAS is because WAS had an extra loss and could only make the playoffs via division. MIN is only alive for a wildcard, and PHI in most scenarios wins the division, so their game doesn't really have much of an effect on MIN
MIN eliminated with loss or tie + GB win/tie WAS eliminated with loss/tie or PHI win/tie
