Toughest road to the Super Bowl.....49ers have it hardest, Colts the easiest.

Lengthy article

From the above link....

-------

Teams that go winless in their first three or four games almost never make the playoffs.

Since 1990, only three teams have started 0-3 and made the playoffs (1992 Chargers, 1995 Lions, 1998 Bills).

It gets worse if your favorite team starts 0-4: Only one team since 1990 has dropped their first four games and still made the playoffs -- the 1992 Chargers.

On the flip side of that, 3-0 usually means good things in the NFL: From 1990 to 2010, 75.9 percent of the teams that started 3-0 made the playoffs. Those odds drop to 54.9 percent for 2-1 teams and 23.3 percent for 1-2 teams.

You can look at last year's 12-team playoff field as proof of how important the first few games are: All 12 playoff teams started the season 2-2 or better.

Cowboys will be in nickel majority of the time this year. That's a lot of what could end up being their best lineup:

Updating a previous item, Michael Floyd is only expected to miss around a month following Wednesday's left-hand injury.

A source told the Arizona Republic Floyd escaped with "dislocated fingers" as opposed to fractures. The originally-reported timeline was six weeks, which almost certainly would've sidelined Floyd into the season. Floyd may now be ready for Week 1, though he's still going to miss all of training camp and the preseason while Carson Palmer builds trust with John "Smokey" Brown.

DeSean Jackson ran into a blocking sled? Why the hell was a blocking sled in the vicinity of WR/DB 1 on 1 drills?

Lucky it didn't happen in (nanny state) Australia - the OH&S police would be having a field day with that one....

Maybe he was just trying to block the blocking sled?

Derek Carr looks different in a hat and glasses doesn't he?
