Chiefs Should strength of schedule over-ride head to head in the playoffs

Should strength of schedule over-ride head to head into determining play-off seeding?

Hypothetically, if KC loses to the Rams and NE wins out..Patriots get HFA. Both are 14-2. Chiefs two losses came against teams that only lost 3 games. Patriots lost to Jacksonville and Detroit.

Chiefs had to play on the road against NE who were on 10 days rest. How is this considered an equal footing game? Is this really a fair way to determine HFA?

What if Brady had been out for that one game and NE lost? Would that be a fair way to determine HFA?

Seems that if two teams that have the same record...the advantage should be determined by who had the more difficult opponents.

Just a thought...
