The only team in NFL history to start 0-4 and make the playoffs

From October/December, they lost only once and even that was by 2 points at Arrowhead

Given how no AFC team won 12 games, San Diego was THATCLOSE to homefield advantage throughout the playoffs and would have hosted Buffalo (remember Jim Kelly never played the Chargers )

It was mostly the same roster, minus Stan Humphries, that under Dan Lanning had practically invented new and unique ways to lose close games (1991 they were in just about ever game and only got blown out once)

I am not sure, but maybe Bobby Ross is the only coach to come from college and have a winning record in his first year in the NFL? I know Ross handled Special Teams for Marv Levy in Kansas City for a few years. Yep, Dan Henning did not have any winning seasons as an NFL head coach.
