Playoff Tiebreaker

I am curious what the tiebreaker procedure is for the playoffs. I dropped from having home field advantage in the playoffs to playing in the wildcard game as the #3 seed after the last week of the season. The team that took my place has the same record as me, and I beat them head-to-head this season. Asking mainly out of curiosity. Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Checking your league. 3 teams won their divisions with the same record and same conference record so the next tiebreaker is record against common opponents between the 3 teams.

Your head to head victory over one of those teams isnt a factor due to 3 teams being tied.

Below is a link to NFL playoff tiebreaker procedures.
