So we have to stay caught up with them and that will not be easy with better teams than the Cardinals and 49ers coming up. Of  course that is not to downplay the importance of our game at Tennessee.

But we don't have to stay caught up with them.  We can lose to the Seahawks and if we win the next 3 games, we will then be tied with Tennessee and we will have the tiebreaker at that point, because we would only have 1 division loss and they would have 2.  That's why our game against the Texans is so much more important than our game against the Seahawks.  It's a division game and counts in the tiebreaker. 

So, if you understand what I just wrote, then you understand, it's not a must-win game.  Winning it would make things easier, but it's not essential.
