One of the FEW things Coach Payton has gotten wrong this year...

In an interview earlier this week, Coach Payton said (paraphrase) "No team has ever made it into the playoffs with 7 wins or less."

There may be others, but here's one: Before the NFL schedule was lengthened to 16 games, the old (1969) Houston Oilers made the playoffs with SIX wins (6-6-2).

But the coach's point is well taken: We can't even begin to think about the playoffs until it all starts to shake out in the end.

Note: Sorry if this point was already posted, but I didn't see this in another thread. But if it was... no doubt someone will make it known.
