A story from last year, but pertinent for some of us, stat-wise: http://www.docsports.com/2006/3-0-nfl-teams.html Numbers don't lie. This year, the numbers tell us that the playoff fate of many teams is decided by the fourth week of the NFL season. Since the playoffs were expanded to 12 teams in 1990, 76 percent of the teams - 62-of- 82 -- that started the season with three consecutive wins went on to make the playoffs. Last year each of the four teams that opened with a 3-0 mark, including three eventual division winners, qualified for postseason play.
