9-6-1 is better than 9-7 so Philly would still make it.

Philly would have made it with Arizona

If divisions were ignored and the top six teams made the playoffs --

Giants first, Carolina next, Atlanta, Minnesota, Philly and then three teams tied at 9-7: Az, Dallas and TB. Az goes on the tiebreaker.
