The last time the Dolphins beat a team with a winning record* was Week 3 of the 2022 season against the 2-0 Bills.

The team with the second longest losing streak against winning teams is the Raiders, who's last win came in Week 13 of the 2022 season against the 6-5 Chargers.

Only 6 teams remain without a win against a team with a record over .500 in the 2023 season:

• Miami Dolphins (Last win was Week 3, 2022)
• Las Vegas Raiders (Last win was Week 13, 2022)
• Carolina Panthers (Last win was Week 14, 2022)
• Los Angeles Chargers (Last win was Week 15, 2022)
• New York Giants (Last win was Week 15, 2022)
• New Orleans Saints (Last win was Week 17, 2022)

​

* Record at the time of the match-up, not the current record or the record at the end of the 2022 season.

DK Metcalf is a giant of a man who can run super fast. So in honor of DK Metcalf's 22.23 mph run this week, here are the top-20 ball carriers so far this year BY MOMENTUM*:

https://preview.redd.it/he8w428d034c1.png?width=1800&format=png&auto=webp&s=eacb73e1552d90272edc9d64554042343c8767ae

Results - The results show us what our eyes already saw: DK is a big dude that REALLY gets moving. Remember three years ago when he hit 22.64 chasing down Budda Baker after an interception? That was even faster than this run! This dude is huge and fast. For comparison: a 2018 Honda Civic weighing around 2,800 lbs and driving 2 mph has a momentum of 1136 kg.m/s. So this guy is basically a slow-moving car. That's nuts.

But DK isn't alone up there at the top and that's pretty cool. Jonnu Smith and Derrick Henry are both a little bigger than DK and got moving almost as fast this year in weeks 9 and 6, respectively. Their total momentum comes in just a little behind DK.

Then there's a bit of a jump in the top momentum and it's driven by player weight. DK, Jonnu, and Derrick are the heaviest guys on this list, weighing 236, 247, and 247, respectively. That next group of guys (Hall, Barnes, Fields, Robinson) are the next heaviest guys on my list and all in the 220s for weight.

Finally, there are some notable absences from this chart. Even though the Miami crew of Tyreek Hill, Devon Achane, and Raheem Mostert have had the top fastest plays this year (after DK's run this week, that is), their weights are all under 200 lbs and that puts them in the mid-800s in kg.m/s. For comparison, that's much closer to a 2008 Smart Fortwo moving at 2 mph (~750 kg.m/s). See, now I'm wondering if I'm even afraid to get hit by these guys!

I'm going to stop before I make any outlandish claims about the survivability of getting run over by a full-speed Devon Achane. I'm about to enter that foolhardy territory of which animals you could beat in a fight. I'll just leave with saying congratulations to DK Metcalf! Way to have some awesome and terrifying top momentum! And good luck this week to the Miami offensive speedsters! You'll need to either hit 27 mph or gain 50 lbs to catch up to DK. Whichever you choose, I believe in you!

​

*Methodology: I took the top 5 weekly ball carrier speeds as reported by Next Gen Stats and multiplied it by the player weight as reported by the team roster. For the cars I looked at a range of values from the manufacturers.

Absolute dominance.

• Not a late hit on Mahomes.
• Not a fumble. If correctly blown dead there would not have been a 15 yard penalty on Pacheco.
• MVS was moving backwards when hit out of bounds and the clock should have run.
• Egregious pi on MVS inside the 10 yard line
• pi on Kelce on the hail mary (they never call it on a hail mary, but that was pretty bad...)

How is it possible that the refs are this fucking bad at their jobs?

Brad Allen and his referee crew have been the center of multiple controversial calls and games this season.

Dolphis vs. Eagles - Everyone remembers this game. 10 penalties called on Dolphins compared to 0 called on Eagles. One of the worst and most lopsided reffed games in recent history. Towards the end of the game, there was a non existent roughing the passer penalty called against Miami. This call was made by Duane Heydt (who's from Pennsylvania). Some additional history, his crew was previously suspended from an ACC championship game for unethical refereeing.

Chiefs vs. Packers. Everyone saw the blatant pass interference that wasn't called, which would've moved the Chiefs into the redzone with a chance to tie the game. One of the most obvious pass interference penalties we've seen and nothing called.

Please also note: Home teams win in 58% of Brad Allen's games & cover 56% ATS since 2016. NFL average is 55% win & 49% cover (source).

Brad Allen and his crew should be suspended from the NFL. Brad Allen's crew (10th Season as Referee):

• Umpire: Duane Heydt (2)
• Down Judge: Sarah Thomas (9)
• Line Judge: Walter Flowers (1)
• Field Judge: Rick Patterson (28)
• Side Judge: Boris Cheek (28)
• Back Judge: Greg Yette (14)

Lemme ask you all this, do you really think the producers of this game are so good they could dial up a very slick comparison of Favre, Rodgers, and love throwing balls with their feet off the ground?

Like you really think they could do that in the 30 seconds after that happened? That was definitely dialed up and they were planning for it.

They had graphics of how Love and Rodgers were so similar stat wise right before this happened lol. You think that was all just really slick nfl producing?

That would take hours for a video editor to put together unless they knew love would have a foot off the ground throw in the game.

If he stays on and they lose out through the season he drops his W/L to below 500 for his career.

I don't agree with the call, but did the refs called the penalty due to the helmet contact instead of the late hit? Either way it was bad officiating and taking away the focus on how well the Packers played.

With this latest win against the Eagles, Brock has started a full NFL season’s worth of game. This is Purdy’s statistical “rookie season” from his first official start against Tampa Bay last year.

I took these stats from Pro Football Record and subtracted the games from 2022 in which he didn’t start (including the Dolphins game, even through he played most of it).

Vs NY: 30-12 (TNF)

Vs Dallas: 42-10

@ Philly: 42-19

They play @ Washington in week 17.

And if somehow their record was .083-5 where would that put them in the standings lol.

The last 2 minutes of this Sunday game was some of the worst officiating I have seen in my time watching the NFL. It's not just tonight's game either. We have seen this throughout the league this year. Terrible calls swinging games. Some has gotta give here.

Thru 12 weeks, Jordan Love has a similar AY/A+ to 2008 Aaron Rodgers and he's raised his cumulative AY/A+ from 86 after game 7 to 104 now.

https://preview.redd.it/8euo0tezk74c1.png?width=1240&format=png&auto=webp&s=e8eafd0d7b992848a30e4736d6df93e1f0b47338

Hear me out: officiating is notably worse than usual this year, with way more egregiously terrible calls. Is it really likely that suddenly, all these veteran NFL officials forgot how to do their jobs? Or have they been instructed to botch calls to get people talking? Goodell’s #1 job is to make the league money, and every ref botch-job gets everyone talking; more clicks = $$$. Am I the only one who thinks this??
