Historical data on undefeated NFL teams

[panther4life]

Doing a little bit of digging to see how the final 3 unbeaten's stack up in history(Super Bowl Era) and other random tidbits. Figured I share as some of you may find this interesting as well. Some info has undoubtedly been stated on here before but wanted to be thorough. 

• First time in history in NFL has seen 3, 8-0 teams in one season. 
• Last time there was multiple 8-0 teams in the NFL, they faced off in the Superbowl. Colts and Saints(2009 season)
• There has been up to 2, 10-0 teams in 1 season (1990 Giants and Niners. Giants won the NFC championship game over the Niners and went on become Super Bowl champs)
• 14 franchises have made it to 9-0 or better. The colts/Manning have done 3 times. Dolphins, Vikings and Chiefs have done it twice as well. 
• This is New England's 2nd best start in their franchise history.
• The longest undefeated streak in the NFC South is held by New Orleans in 2009 (13-0). They lost their last 3 regular season but went on to win the Superbowl.
• The Falcons also have an 8-0 start under their belt as well (2012). They finished 13-3 overall in the regular season. Then lost the NFC Championship game.
• No NFC team has gone 14-0 in the regular season.
• We have 8 common opponents with New England this season (NFC East and AFC South).
• We are 2-2-1 all time against the Bengals, We are 3-4 all time against the Patriot's. Both of us are undefeated at home vs the other. Regular season we are even, the Superbowl win gives them the overall edge.

We are up first for the remaining unbeaten's tomorow. Our game is at 1 PM, the Patriots follow us at 4:25 and the Bengals play the Texans on Monday Night.

Something else I found kind of interesting is Tom Coughlin is 5-1 head to head vs Belichick. 3-1 in Giants vs Patriot's, including the last 3 games in a row (2 of which were Super Bowls). They play tomorrow in NEW YORK,  NEW Jersey.

Please add any related stats, tidbits,etc. that you have found.

A few weeks ago, I looked at Atlanta's schedule and figured it would be tough to win the South--they do not play teams like Green Bay and Seattle. 

Now I am hoping we can take the home--field advantage.  We have Dallas, Atlanta x 2, the Giants and the Saints in New Orleans.  I think we must win the Titans and Redskins games first, making us 10-0--then if we stumble in a few of the games mentioned above, we should be OK.

Really hoping the New York Football Giants whoop that ass and when JPP's mangled hand gets in Brady's face he decides to quit football forever because of how "ewwwwwy" it is.

Our turnaround has to be one of the best in history. From September 23rd to November 30th last year we went 1-8-1. Since then we have gone 13-1 (including the postseason).

Found 1 more. Twice before we have won 8 consecutive games in the same season. 96(including the playoffs). 2013 we went 8-0 from week 5-13. Tomorrow would mark the first time we have won 9 consecutive games within the same season.

I'm so glad to be able to share these good times with you guys. Looking around my house I have a Giants fan, a dog who gets excited when I look at her, a judgemental Bengal, a kitten who assumes its time to attack, a warmblood who maintains his French stereotype, and a thoroughbred who is more like a dog.

But I did have some sports show on yesterday and they were saying out of 140 teams that lost six in a row only one has made the playoffs and they haven't lost a regular season game since then

Good break down, much better than your subject - verb agreement.

Poor 2013 Chiefs. They got cucked by Luck.

At 15-0 I would have to pop sleeping pills.

At 18-0 I would not sleep... I would probably need a medically induced coma.
