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

He said "I have never seen it" not that it has never happened.

“This is my 10th year in the league and I’ve never seen a team win seven games and get into the playoffs,” Payton said. “We have a lot of football left. We’re sitting here at seven wins right now. We’re not sitting at 10 or 11 wins. We’re sitting at seven and that’s the approach I think you have to take.”
