That's why I don't like records to decide who's cream of the crop. Let me set this straight, I am NOT saying the Vikings are better than the Saints right now.
If the Redskins kicker makes that FG that he probably makes 49/50 times, Saints are 11-1. If Chester Taylor catches the ball instead of letting it go through his hands and having it get picked off, Vikes could be 11-1 too. Or if the Ravens kicker makes that FG he probably does a majority of the time, the Vikes could be 9-3.
So at the extreme, the Saints could be 3 games ahead of the Vikings or they could be tied based off 3 plays in the entire season. That is why you cannot look at records when comparing great teams, you have to look at how they played the games.
