The NFL Season May Be Winding Down, But the Agony Continues for Some Fans
As the calendar flips to 2024, the holiday blues are settling in for disappointed NFL fans from New York to Cincinnati, Chicago, and beyond. The season may not be over just yet, but for some teams, the writing is on the wall.
A Coaching Nightmare
Matt Eberflus has cemented his place in NFL history with the worst record in one-score games among coaches with at least 20 games under their belt. With a dismal track record, it’s hard to see him lasting much longer as a head coach. Perhaps a return to his defensive coordinator roots is in the cards?
Cold Comfort for the Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have struggled mightily in cold weather, losing all eight outdoor games under 48 degrees during the Tua era. While it’s not entirely Tua’s fault, the team’s inability to adapt to chilly conditions is a major concern. To turn things around, they might consider unconventional methods like cold plunge tubs at practice or renting a liquor store freezer to acclimate their players.
Kicking Woes in Baltimore
Justin Tucker’s struggles this season have been well-documented, and his missed kicks have become a major concern for the Ravens. With legitimate Super Bowl aspirations, they can’t afford to let this problem linger. Whether it’s due to yips, injury, or age, something needs to change – and fast.
Big Man, Big Play
Leonard Williams made history with his 92-yard interception return for a touchdown, the longest by a defender weighing over 300 pounds. While this is a remarkable achievement, it’s a bitter pill for the Jets to swallow. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and celebrate some other notable big-man touchdowns!
Cincinnati’s Defensive Dilemma
The Bengals’ defense has been abysmal, with a peculiar trend emerging: every time they score, their opponents seem to respond with a touchdown of their own. This “equal and opposite” reaction has been a hallmark of their season, with 29 instances of this phenomenon occurring. It’s a frustrating reality for Bengals fans, who are watching Joe Burrow’s prime years slip away amidst defensive ineptitude.
As the season winds down, these sad stats serve as a harsh reminder of what could have been for some teams. Catch up on last week’s sad stats and commiserate with fellow fans who are struggling to find solace in their team’s performance.
