    Soft Schedules

    Why did the Dolphins go undefeated? As I've pointed out in this space before, King, it's because they played the easiest schedule, in terms of opponents combined season win percentage, that's ever been played since the NFL/AFL merger. What was that winning percentage? .396! It's incredible! Their opponents won less than 40% of all their games that year, which is difficult to do, especially considering that they would have been playing each other at some point (and so would have to rack up at least a couple dozen wins simply by beating up on each other.

    .396!
