The teams are 2-2 in the first. Team A and team B are tied for best Div record while team C has an inferior Div record. The exact same scenario plays out for the 3rd tie breaker.
In the link is says this..... This seems to indicate I continue through the tie breakers even though Team C came out behind because I can only advance one team, not two. Do I have this right? I have a little football sim and this is my current problem.
NFL Tie-Breaking Procedures |
Note that is says advance, not eliminate. So in the scenario you describe, you start with the three-way tiebreaking procedure since there are three teams. At the moment one team is eliminated in a tiebreaking step, the process then reverts to the two-team tiebreaking procedure to determine the club advancing from those two teams.

Three or More Clubs
(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated during any step, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of the two-club format).

So in your example club C is eliminated after the second step of the three-way tiebreaker, meaning the tie between A and B reverts to step one of the two-way tiebreaker. At some point in the two-way tiebreaker either A or B will be declared the division winner.
