The Road Less Traveled: The NFL's HARDEST Schedules

With apologies to Thomas Jefferson, all NFL schedules are NOT created equally, with some teams getting much harder paths than others. Some even go through the proverbial bed of hot coals. Today we reveal the twenty-five hardest regular seasons paths of the entire Super Bowl era.

Explanation of C-Score:

C-Score is a metric created by this channel to assign an overall value to a football team. It takes a team's:

-Results, including standard and Pythagorean W-L record
-Performance, including game control and play-by-play production
-Quality of opponents, specifically performance level against opponents

and distills all of that into one cumulative and comparative score reflecting the context of the season in question. When applicable, a team's playoff performance is also included.

A C-Score of 0 represents an average football team, whereas anything above 0 represents an above average team and anything below 0 represents a below average team.

A team's record is important, but not always indicative of C-Score. An 11-5 team can rate higher than a 13-3 team or lower than a 9-7 team. Not all records are created equally.
