Week 7 is crucial in the NFL despite not being a true season landmark. It's easy to break up each campaign into quarters. However, statistics show a team's season is likely over by Week 7 even if it's still hovering around the .500 mark. 
This means those teams' head coaches will be scrambling to buck trends or just keep their jobs. 
Per NFL Network, squads that start the season 4-3 have made the playoffs 47.9 percent of the time since 1990. On the flip side, teams that open their campaigns 3-4 have earned postseason berths only 19 percent of the time.
Currently, 14 teams own a 3-4 record or worse. Statistically, their odds of a playoff push are slim.
