We are not getting help in the early going from the Saints or Cardinals, but we've already gotten some help from the Vikings beating the Bears. Since our win keeps us ahead of the Vikings by tiebreaker, this was the outcome we wanted, as now 3 playoff spots are within reach. Also puts a positive spin on Seattle's win over the Bears last week, which was a bummer at the time. Also Atlanta lost which will give them more motivation to beat the Giants next week (no chance they'll be resting starters).
