The Patriots are the only team in the NFL to have won at least
one playoff game in each of the last five seasons (2003-07).
CURRENT STREAKS OF CONSEC. SEASONS W/ PLAYOFF WIN
New England Patriots .......................................................... 5
Seattle Seahawks ................................................................3
Four Teams ........................................................................1
Sure, Seattle's record sucks, and there is a scenario where the Patriots might not make the playoffs (as such a scenario always exists for every team at some point every year.)
But the Patriots have not only won the last five division crowns, but also a playoff game in each one. The Seahawks have not only made it to the playoffs each of the last three years, but won a playoff game. That is not easy to do.
Seattle and New England are teams that seem to play well in late December and early January, by this statistic. No other of 30 teams can compare.
And Seattle's active personnel resemble their previous teams from previous years, more so than we do. They should be proud of themselves and play the Jets with pride.
Let's cheer for a Seattle and Patriots victory Sunday--two great teams that get hot right about now! Seattle played well against New England--a division leader--and now can make up for the loss by playing another AFC East division leader, and this time winning. What matters is not Seattle's record, but their angst to prove themselves against leading teams they can beat, like the Jets.
