How are tiebreakers determined for a higher seed in the NFL playoffs? What's the science behind selecting backup QBS? Who is the chargers emergency QB? Rams and Chargers questions answered by jeffmiller and LATimesklein.
How is it decided which team wins a tiebreaker for a higher seed in the playoffs? If Baltimore and the Chargers have the same record, which team is the fifth seed and why?First tiebreaker is head to head. Since the Chargers and Ravens didn’t play each other this season, the next tiebreaker is conference record. The Chargers are 7-4 in the AFC and the Ravens 6-5, which gives the Chargers the edge. If the conference records are the same, the next tiebreaker is record against common opponents.
The Chargers typically “dress” two QBs for game day. If both suffered concussions, who would be the “emergency QB”?Now this is a question! Love it. My guess would be Keenan Allen, who’s someone we’ve seen at least throw a pass in a game. They could go with Austin Ekeler in a wildcat-type situation, which we’ve also seen recently. Hey, Joshua Kelley threw a backward pass the other day, too.
I wondered at the time, and three years later I still wonder, why did Miami think that Tua Tagovailoa was better than Justin Herbert? Which begs the question, if Miami had taken Herbert, would the Chargers have taken Tua?In my opinion, yes, the Chargers would have taken Tua Tagovailoa. But, that’s just a guess. In reality, we’ll never know for sure. Heading into that draft, there were significant questions about Justin Herbert, many centered on his abilities as a leader.
