My fave scenario will always be the Chargers-Raiders "tie" which could've knocked out the steelers

Imagine if the QB somehow lost track of the teams number of timeouts and knelt it in this situation, leaving no time for a FG. It would be like Chris Webber of the NFL

Now 25-18 is the only score that hasn't happened where both teams score between 12 and 32 points and neither tie This may sound pointless but if you look at the chart it will seem more significant, it's basically one empty dot in an otherwise fully green triangle.

Has there ever been a QB with a college career as bad as Tim Boyle that still got a shot as a starting QB in the NFL?

Yeah, point differential is useful in the short term to identify "pretenders" but at some point if a team is constantly winning close games it indicates they are simply good at finding ways to win. The chances of flipping heads 64+ times in 95 flips is 0.0462% or 1 in 2163.

I don't think the Steelers are destined for the Super Bowl, but I do think their close game victories are more than just dumb luck.

Most of these stereotypes of teams are really only true for a few years and then the narrative will change, but the Chargers have been playing this way for decades. Truly is a spectacle.

If all the teams in the NFL had to play without their best 30 players, except the Giants the Giants might win the Super Bowl

Houston at 12 is being undervalued at this point. They are playing better than that

Left too much time on the clock considering this has been last second GW FG week.
