Last week, I evaluated the NFL's 0-2 teams and tried to figure out which of them had the best shot of making it to the postseason. Let's change gears and look at the most successful teams in football.
The league has seven 3-0 teams after the Rams won on Sunday night, and they should all feel good about their playoff chances. Since 2002, just under 70% of the teams that started 3-0 were able to parlay their early-season success into postseason football.
Instead of trying to identify the teams that are most likely to miss out on playoff football, though, I want to go in a different direction.
