Would someone explain how we would not get the 1st pick if we end up tied with the Bengals? I understand that they have the weaker schedule but they did beat us head to head. Wouldn't the loss give us the tie breaker?

Head to head games don't matter in drafting order I don't think, it's strictly strength of schedule.. they only matter in playoff spots I'm pretty sure
