In the first 12 games, we turned the ball over 24 times (2 turnovers per game). In the last 4 games, we only had 4 turnovers (1 turnover per game)and 3 of those 4 came in the Packers game.

Yes, but it would seem that a 2-10 team going on a 4-0 run suggests a great change had been made when in fact it had not (statistically speaking). 4 games is a quarter of an NFL season, don't discount a team's ability to rise or fall in the statistical ranking over that time.

To move up or down in 4 games would seemingly require a great change in a teams performance relative to the other NFL teams. Besides, we all know only one statistic matters... JUST WIN, please.
