At this point, if KC (5-5) goes 3-3 (or worse) down the stretch and all the other teams fail to do better and then KC still advances at 8-8, then you could say they backed in... because they did nothing to gain an advantage while no other teams took over.

This is what's happening in the AFCS...

KC has gone from 1-5 to 5-5, so go over .500 in the final 6 and there's no backing into the playoffs.
