I'm curious if any team in league history has made the playoffs on a less likely scenario.

Any seasoned gambler will tell you how insanely improbable it is to have ten things all hit when they look like locks, let alone all the variables involved in this. If someone enjoys the delusions and think there's honor in needing everyone to know how they never ever give up hope, then go nuts, but it's intellectually dishonest to act like this has any reasonable chance of happening.

Hawks need:

Vikes to lose
Niners to lose
Bills to lose
Browns to lose
Commanders to lose

Two of the above.

I think it was around 2000 or so when we needed half a dozen games to fall our way to get in. Might have been more, but i remember going into the last game thinking there was no way we were getting in. Then we did.

Need a lot more than that to get in control of the tiebreaker. All this does is prevent the Rams from clinching it this week. Hawks would still need like eight other things to go their way next week.

Shame we arent depending on the Giants because Drew Lock is going into stud mode against a team fighting for their playoff lives. 7/8 for 153 yards and 3 TDs, and there's still six minutes to go in the second quarter.

Cleveland lost, does that mean if the Lions beat the 9ers we can get in if we beat the Rams?

No. If the Falcons win tonight and the Lions win tomorrow that just means the Rams don't clinch this week. We would still need at least a half dozen games next week to go our way too.
