Yeah, I'd love to know exactly what happened... if the Bengals fully assumed they would use win percentage and what not like the current rule book says, or if the NFL gave them any kind of idea what would happen if they agreed.
If they used win % though, it's the same record-wise, but I don't know the tie breaker off the top of my head in that situation to know if it would have changed the 2/3 seed.
