Inside the Numbers dives into NFL statistics, streaks and trends each week. In a season when much of the NFL is clustered around break even, the AFC can boast a record number of winning teams headed into Week 15 while the NFC has the most teams ever on the losing side. Led by four playoff contenders in the ultra-tough AFC North, the AFC has 11 teams with a winning record through 14 weeks.
