The NFL assured us when it added two more playoff teams (for TV money, naturally) that only teams that merit it would make the postseason.Well, after Sunday's game, there were just 10 teams in the league with winning records.And 12 make the playoffs.So if the season ended this week, Pittsburgh and Houston, each 3-3, would be tied for the final AFC wild-card spot.
