It's way cooler when the Eagles do it.

Honestly with the win against the Chiefs I was content to call this season a success (yes I was that desperate to break the streak).

Not only did you get the win against the Chiefs, that game was the first time the Chiefs had been held to a single digit score since the Titans did it on October 24, 2021.

I'm starting to believe the wins aren't flukes, they're righting the ship and with their upcoming schedule, playoffs really are a possibility. -knocks on wood just in case-

I'm a neutral fan and I started thinking they could start making some noise when they didn't let the score in the loss to Kansas City get out of hand. They were 1-4 before the first Chiefs game and I thought the Chiefs would steamroll them, but the adjustments they've made on defense were starting to pay off. 22 points is the highest score against them since week 6.

Yeah the Colts offense has been rowdy, regardless of who's under center. But Richardson opens up the field more. If they keep their offense largely intact over the offseason while also focusing on the defense in the draft, I think they'll really be cooking. They'll hang around in the wildcard race this season, but I think divisional hopes next season is the real goal.

 
  • The Browns finished last season 7-10 and are currently 7-3

  • The Texans finished last season 3-13-1 and are currently 6-4

  • The Colts finished last season 4-12-1 and are currently 5-5

  • The Broncos finished last season 5-12 and are currently 5-5

  • The Bears finished last season 3-14 and are currently 3-8

With the Browns, Broncos and Bears still having only tied their finishing record from last season and the Colts having one more win than last season, the Texans are currently the only team to have three more wins than last season, including their first win against the Steelers since 2011.

The Broncos started the season 1-5 including the historic loss to Miami and have turned things around beautifully, including a victory over the reigning champion Chiefs and a victory over the Vikings who had a 5-game winning streak at the time they played. The Broncos haven't allowed an opponent to score more than 22 points since week 5, and in week 8 were the first team to hold the Chiefs to a single digit score since the Titans did it on October 24, 2021.

The teams that currently need just one more win to tie their win total from last season are the Dolphins, Raiders, Lions and Rams.

Part of me wanted to say that this is just piling on the Jets at this point and it's mean, but then I remembered the uniforms they wore today and decided it's fine.

I think I've figured out my least favorite thing about the Thanksgiving football games. It's that every year, without fail, grown-ass men forget how to eat a fucking turkey leg.

As someone who is rooting for the Lions this season, they fucking deserved that loss. It's like they're getting punched in the mouth every week at this point, and only responded because they had the good fortune of playing the Chargers and the Bears.

I feel like no adjustments have been made throughout the season, they sat there with their thumbs up their ass at the trade deadline while the two other teams playing for #1 seed made a big move, something is up with Goff, he's playing dipfuck football right now, the defense continues to play soft and is allowing throwing schemes to be waaaaay too open for a team that's supposed to be a contender, and I don't even know what to say for the play calling.

They might not even win the division at this point.

Idk what's up with Goff the last couple of games but he's really pissing me off.

Mac Jones is probably my favorite Patriot of all time.
