Remember when people were worried because ours was negative?? 😂😂😂😂😂

Some stats people are in love with point differential because it is predictive in other sports.  In baseball, for example, if you look at a team at the all star break that is leading a division, but has a bad point differential, they'll probably fade.  (There was an exception in recent years...don't remember who...but you can usually tell what teams are frauds.)  The problem is that football just doesn't have a large enough sample size and most games are close.  Therefore, one blowout can really skew it.  It's pretty much meaningless in the NFL.

If you look across the league only Cleveland got in with a negative point differential and only Miami and Arizona missed the playoffs despite having a positive point differential.

 

Yes, even Washington was positive.
