What are the factors that the NFL uses to break ties for the playoffs?

Suppose, for example, the Bears and the Lions each wind up at 8-8 and are tied for a wid card spot. They've already split the season series, so what tiebreakers follow that?

    Best winning percentage in division games would be the next tie breaker in this case.

    If you can't be bothered to type "Google" followed by "NFL playoff tie breaker rules", I can't be bothered to type it all out for you.
