If the Patriots had managed to win in London last weekend, they would have just as many wins as both the Dolphins and Jets, only two games off the wild card chase.
The only pro football team to start the season 1-6 and still make the playoffs was the pre-Super Bowl era Cincinnati Bengals in 1960. Those Bengals won their final eight games.
The Jets are heavily favored to beat the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. If they win, it would mark the first sweep in 24 years.
CBS Sports staff: Five of eight pick the Jets (-7). NFL.com staff: All Jets. It seems like no one is giving the Patriots a chance this week.
