With 32 teams playing a maximum of 16 games in a given week, it is mathematically possible for the 16 teams that win in Week A to be the same 16 teams that won in Week B. This has never happened. The largest overlap in winners across two weeks is 14 and it has happened three times.
In Week 3 of the 2016 season, BAL, BUF, DAL, DEN, GB, IND, KC, MIA, MIN, NE, OAK, SEA, STL, and WAS all won their games. These same 14 teams had also all won together in Week 2 of the 2003 season. This was the first time that 14 winners in the same week matched any previous week.
It happened again in Week 4 of the 2021 season. ARI, BAL, BUF, CHI, CIN, CLE, DAL, GB, IND, KC, NYJ, SD, SEA, and TB all won. These 14 had previously all won together in Week 15 of the 2020 season.
The third and most recent time it’s happened was in Week 18 of 2022. BUF, CAR, CIN, DEN, DET, HOU, KC, MIA, MIN, PHI, PIT, SEA, SF, and WAS all won. These 14 had previously all won together in Week 17 of 2015.
ATL, JAX, NO, NYG, and TEN are the teams missing from the above lists.
