In fact, every playoff or potential playoff team is number 14(Giants) or higher. Of that top 14 only Philadelphia at number 11 is out of the playoffs - Vikings and Redskins still need to fight out the last spot; and I'm assuming Tenn. is in. Really nothing new in these numbers. What's interesting though is so many people talk about how the NFL has become all about the offense these days when the near constant rule of 'defense wins' continues. A look at the offensive points leaders will show a number of pretenders near the top.
* The Pats now lead the league in points scored and points allowed (tied with Tampa) - just like those '72 Dolphins did.
