The Jacksonville Jaguars clinched a play-off spot for the first time since 2007 with a 45-7 demolition job of the Houston Texans, going 10-4 for the season.
They hadn't had a winning season since that 2007 play-off campaign, where they lost the Divisional Play-off game to the New England Patriots 31-20, and haven't enjoyed one since Shahid Khan took over the club in 2011.
Their record since then reads:
2012: 2-14
2013: 4-12
2014: 3-13
2015: 5-11
2016: 3-13
and now 2017: 10-4 (with two games of the regular season to go).
It's fair to say it's not been plain sailing for the Khans in Jacksonville, but after their first winning season under the family and their first chance at the post-season, Mr Khan said this:
"I've been through life when I was a laughingstock, whatever business I was in -- auto parts, what have you -- and then you have to stay with it, and success comes.
"It's a story of perseverance."
The Jags record does indeed mean they were branded as the laughing stock of the NFL for a long time, but they stuck by what they were doing and no one will be calling them that now.
Mr Khan also used the term "perseverance" - persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.
Certainly, after five losing seasons on the trot, where the Jags highest win tally was five, perseverance is key to the Khan's way of thinking in the US - so what about over here in the UK?
Mr Khan took over the club in 2013 and the club were relegated at the end of the 2013/14 season, and like the Jags, have only enjoyed one 'winning season' to date, which was the 2016/17 one where Fulham finished in the Play-offs.
It seems a similar story between the Jags and Fulham, but if we can take anything from how the NFL franchise have done this season is that Mr Khan is not one for giving up when times get hard, as they have been for the most part since he bought Fulham.
There have been hiccups along the way, Felix Magath, nearly being relegated from the Championship and Craig Kline, to name just a few, but there has been success too - changing a team that finished 20th one season to finishing 6th the next cannot be underestimated.
This season isn't one that any of the fans thought would happen, and perhaps not the management team or the team behind the scenes either, but it's one that Fulham find themselves in, and perseverance is key.
Some don't think the Khans have Fulham's best interests at heart - I don't agree.
Mr Khan, and Tony, are both intelligent men, and Khan senior didn't make his millions in business by giving up when things went tough, or by making mistakes and not learning from them.
What the story of the Jags this season tells me is that when it comes to sport, Mr Khan can make mistakes, but through persistence and learning from them those mistakes can be overcome, and a "laughing stock" American football team can become a well oiled, winning machine.
It will be interesting to see where the Jags go from here, and where that in turn leaves Fulham, but I think it shows that despite things not having been the best since Mr Khan took over either club, his ambition is the same as all fans.
I'll leave you with this, after being in the Jags' locker room on Sunday, Mr Khan said this:
"What a feeling, it's unbelievable. To win it and win it the way we did today [is] mind-blowing. ... I'm always an optimistic guy and certainly whatever I was hoping for, it's that and more.
"I think it's been a long time coming, and I'm so grateful to be here and have the city support us.
"It's been a challenge, but it's so wonderful now to see a young team kind of come through with the veteran leadership, which gives us sustainability and hope for the future."
Sustainability and hope for the future - isn't that what every Fulham fan wants too?
