In my 35 years of being a football fan I cannot remember when ANY NFL team has had a 4 game lead at the end of week 5.
Of course a 5 game lead is the best that can be, but has any other leading division team had this kind of gap edge this early - Has any NFL team ever gone 5-0 while the rest of the division teams were 0-5? - I doubt it
I have not looked at the interdivision east matchups down the road but just how wide can the gap get between NE and the others?,Obviously interdivional matchups between the bottom 3 AFC east teams will matter as to who stays even with thier deficit in the east while the others drop down even more,Of course this is going by the potential that NE will win several more in a row in the upcoming weeks.
I guess it would take a bit of time to figure this out
If anyone here has some time to check on this how early can NE possibly win the division if they continue to win and how far the gap can widen between NE and the second place team?
