It was at about this time last year, that a "fabricated" regular-season schedule was unveiled. I have to admit, I was duped into thinking that the regular-season schedule was leaked ahead of time, until reports from Pro Football Talk indicated that it was deemed phony by league spokesman Greg Aiello. Additionally, I noticed that there were some unusual errors in the "fake schedule," and the "blogger" who unveiled the fake schedule later came clean regarding the errors.
BEWARE of any websites that reveal schedule leaks — if you see any schedule leaks from sites like Bleacher Report, SB Nation, Huffington Post or other forum/blogger sites, DON'T EVEN WASTE YOUR TIME READING THEM, let alone get headstarts on teams' season pages. There is WAY TOO MUCH speculation on those sites, and it's better to just wait until an OFFICIAL schedule release announcement is made on ESPN.com, NFL.com, ProFootballTalk.com or ProFootballWeekly.com.
Over the past three years, the official schedule has been unveiled on April 20 (2010), April 19 (2011) and April 17 (2012), with each date falling on a Tuesday. Assuming that the same pattern continues, April 16 would be the release date of the 2013 schedule. In the past, TVGuide.com has indicated a two-hour window regarding the NFL schedule release up to two weeks in advance, and each time, they have been right on target.

Is there a previously established reason we re-create the entire division standings tables in this article instead of just using the templates? LarryJeff ( talk) 19:08, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
In previous seasons, the records section has been relatively small - and usually only actual 'records' [eg 'broke the record for ...'] not milestones [eg 'became the xth player to get...'] - so how many of the current list are really needed? 188.221.79.22 ( talk) 12:14, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Also you need to be careful even with milestones being cited by random websites because some of them are complete crap. I removed this one, which had a citation, because it was just completely wrong and obviously so:
A search at pro-football-reference provides EIGHTY-NINE examples of teams winning with -4 or worse turnover margin. I am not really sure what the cited website was thinking, but it was entirely wrong. Jonpin ( talk) 23:44, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
The Records and milestones section is too long. I believe we should remove all franchise records and put them on each team's own article. Plus, a lot of whats in that section is just copy and paste of the ESPN Elias Sports Bureau. Is that permitted?

Most of the records discussed here have been moved to a new page, List of 2013 NFL records and milestones, which was created to shorten this article. If further discussion is warranted, it makes sense to move this discussion to the new page. — DeeJayK ( talk) 21:46, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
You know when I saw that "94.193.96.26" had deleted a bunch of the records from week to week citing it wasn't notable, at first I was against it, but then after reading exactly what they had taken out, I completely agree with the removal. Just about everything that they removed is, well, stupid. There are a million different statistics in the NFL, "these 4 QB's threw for over 300 yards twice in two weeks" or "there were this amount of passing yards in the first 2 weeks", and so on. Just because a statistic exists, doesn't mean it is notable or worth adding. I might apply those changes back to the page unless anyone has any objections. Zdawg1029 ( talk) 16:32, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
I think that there has been too much removed from the records... Yes there might be some that are suspect, but I think if the NFL releases them (NFLCommunications.com and nfllabor.files.wordpress.com), they should definitely stay... posty ( talk) 17:07, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
I took a further pass through this list of records and milestones as part of a general polish of this article. I've moved all of the season-long awards (e.g. Manning's passing yardage and TD records) to the top of the list (rather than having them listed under "Week 17" near the bottom). I've also validated that everything is properly referenced. While the list is extensive I feel that all of the records included at this point are sufficiently "notable" for inclusion here. In anyone else wants to validate (or dispute) that, it would welcome the input. Thanks! — DeeJayK ( talk) 20:59, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
There's an issue with the templates "2013 AFC standings" and "2013 NFC standings" having the same references with the same names, which gives a redefined reference error when both templates are included here. I can't work out how to fix this: can someone more familiar with these things work on this? Thanks. Suelru ( talk) 02:39, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
