15 games down, just one more to go in the 2010 NFL regular season. When I started this comparison back in Week 2, I knew there would be some issues to work around later in the season for the simple fact that the 1976 regular season was just 14 games compared to 16 in '08 and '10. The '76 team did however play a total of 16 games if you include their two playoff games that year. So onward we go updating the numbers from the past two weeks.
