Leading wire to wire is rare
December 29, 2008
The Tennessee Titans were in first place alone in the AFC South all season. If the Denver Broncos win at San Diego on Sunday, they will duplicate that feat in the AFC West.
That would indicate a wire-to-wire division title is not so unusual. And last year, the New England Patriots were solo leaders of the AFC East for the entire season, when they went 16-0.
But it’s actually quite rare for a team to be in first place alone in its division for the entire schedule. Before New England managed it in 2007, it had been done only twice, according to STATS. The 2004 Atlanta Falcons and 1985 Los Angeles Rams also accomplished it.
