The National Football League Regular Season schedule consists of 17 weeks where anywhere from 26 to all 32 teams will play their games. Over the course of the season each team plays a total of 16 games, and has one designated week off called a "bye week". Week 4 is especially notable because it is the first week of the season where any teams will have a bye week.
In 1992 the San Diego Chargers opened the season with an 0-4 record, and would then go 11-1 to finish the year with a 11-5 record and a spot in the playoffshttp://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/.
In 2007 the New England Patriots would start the year 4-0 and go on to finish with an unprecedented 16-0 record, however they would lose to the New York Giants in the waning minutes of the Super Bowlhttp://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/.
In 2009 the New Orleans Saints started the year out in dominating fashion, pummeling each of their first four opponents en route to their first ever Super Bowl Championshiphttp://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/.
