All games against division opponents are huge, no matter your current record. The NFL season with only 16 games is so short that really, every game is huge and can be viewed as a "must win." I mean, can we lose this game and still make the playoffs? Sure. It would make it harder, but we could still make it. But I look at the goal being grabbing homefield advantage in the playoffs, and with that in mind, this is a "must win." They all are.

But division games especially - partly because of rivalries and partly because if you don't get homefield, pinning a loss on a division foe increases your chances quite a bit of taking the division title.
