Since 1990, only eight teams have made the playoffs after starting 1-4. A?year ago, however, the Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans?both did it after incredible?runs.The Chiefs won 10?of their last 11 games to grab a wild-card spot. The Texans won the AFC South by winning eight of their last 11.Which of the 14 teams currently under .500 this season are most likely to get hot and go on a run? Based on recent history, a profile can be designed. Some of it is based on schedule. Some of it is based on how the team is constructed. And some?of it is having key players at certain positions. Here are the categories:Environment:?To make the playoffs after a slow start, teams need to either be in a conference that is down or in a division that could be won with seven to nine victories. Two qualifiers fit this category. In 2002, the Tennessee Titans?won 10 of 11 games and the New York Jets won eight of 11 after starting 1-4. Indianapolis and Pittsburgh were the only AFC teams that won more than 10 games that season. A couple AFC teams are poised to go on a similar run this season. Nine of the 16 teams have losing records. The New England Patriots are the only one-loss team.?Schedule: As long as their remaining opponents dont have a combined winning percentage of .530 or more, teams have a chance. Teams that start slow have issues, and its hard to imagine them making a big run going against winning teams they couldnt beat in the first seven weeks.Reliable?quarterback play: You dont necessarily need a future Hall of Famer at quarterback to get hot, but it sure helps. Brett Favre led the Packers run from 1-4 to 10-6 in 2004. Steve McNair of the Titans and Chad Pennington of the Jets did it in 2002. Instability at quarterback is a disqualifier.Win in your division:?The Chiefs and Texans went 5-1 in their divisions last season.Score some points: If the offense can consistently supply 21 or more points per game, a?team can rise from the bottom.Play good?defense: Last season, 11 of the 12 playoff teams surrendered 20.2 or fewer points per game. Defense keeps teams in games. Last season, the Chiefs gave up 28.6 points per game in their first five contests. By the end of the season, they were allowing 17.9 points per game.Heres how I rank the 14 teams with losing records, in order of how likely they are to go on a run and make the playoffs:1. Cincinnati Bengals?(3-4)Though the Bengals?havent played particularly well -- in part because of a tough early schedule -- they?check all of the boxes for a team that could get hot. Quarterback?Andy Dalton has been efficient. The defense is giving up 23.1 points per game but has the talent to go under 20. The?teams left on their schedule have a combined winning percentage of?.492. The Bengals only AFC North loss was in Pittsburgh, and they get the Steelers at home on Dec. 18. The offense -- scoring just 20 points per game so far -- has the potential to get to 24. And the return of tight end Tyler Eifert,?who missed six games due to injury,?should improve Cincinnatis passing offense and red zone production. Nike Zoom Sale .

Nike Air Zoom Outlet . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. Canberra coach Ricky Stuart says he couldnt help but let Sam Williams go to England, believing the NRL halfback deserves to be playing first-grade fulltime.Williams turned down a one-year offer to stay at the Raiders to take up a deal with Super League outfit Wakefield for 2017.The 25-year-old only played eight games for the Green Machine this year, but stepped up when they needed him most.He filled in at No.7 when Aidan Sezer was injured at the start of the season, and replaced Blake Austin at five-eighth at the back-end of the year - including their qualifying final loss to Cronulla.He is the first Raider to take up an opportunity elsewhere since their dream run to the preliminary finals, with speculation Paul Vaughan and Shaun Fensom might follow suit.Stuart was resigned to losing Williams, named NSW Cup player of the year, given his position in the pecking order.He deserves to go somewhere to play first grade - whether thats NRL or Super League, Stuart said on Friday.I was very, very privileged and fortunate to have a first-grade player as my back up to Aidan and Blake.He did a wonderful job for us in doing that this year and was a big part of our progress in the competition.Sezer was sad to see Williams go, but said his move provedd how successful the Raiders had been at creating depth.ddddddddddddThats what the clubs built over the last few years - the competition for spots and the depth of positions, he said.I guess it shows on the field, the success that was derived from it, this year.Hopefully we can push on, keep building a good squad and have great years to come.Sezer was in no doubt that the pain of losing to Melbourne in last weekends grand final qualifier would spur the side on next season, with his eyes already firmly on getting to the 2017 decider.Were all very disappointed and its going to take a long time to get over it, but you cant really dwell on it, he said.We fell down one step short, hopefully we get to the big one next year.The Raiders launched whats believed to be a world-first competition for members on Friday, offering a $500,000 prize to those who correctly predict how many total points the team score over the 2017 regular season, how many they concede, as well as how many tries for and against.The club hopes the promotion, backed by Canberra company Austbrokers, will help boost membership from 15,000 to 20,000.
