Tampa Bay: Beat Carolina + Kansas City beats Denver + Detroit Loss to Dallas + Green Bay Loss to Detroit + Washington Loss to New York + Dallas beats Philadelphia + San Francisco beats Seattle + Tennessee beats Houston + Indianapolis beats Jacksonville

If anyone's wondering why the last scenario is so convoluted, it's because it would result in Tampa tied with Green Bay for the final wild card spot at 9-7, and just barely edging them out on the Strength of Victory tiebreaker. And I mean barely. If any of those results don't end up happening, Tampa is eliminated.

So to fully respond, Washington losing alone doesn't quite do it, though it would take some crazy bullshit for it to not be enough.

Such scenarios do not count.

But I guess this means there's no chance anymore that Tampa Bay can pass Detroit.

Late response, but yes, Tampa cannot pass Detroit because of the common opponents tiebreaker. Detroit is 3-2 against the Bears, Cowboys, Rams, and Saints, while Tampa went 2-3.
