NFL Tidbits To Tide You Over

January 27th, 2009 · No Comments

It is always tough sitting around for two weeks waiting for the Super Bowl.  Here’s a little fat to chew on, just to get you through… and a link to the NFL’s Super Bowl Video Preview.

About Face

The Miami Dolphins tied the record for biggest turnaround as they went from 1-15 to 11-5, winning ten more games than the previous season.

 

1985 All Over Again

The New England Patriots were the first team not to make the playoffs with 11 wins since 1985 when the Broncos missed post-season play.  The San Diego Chargers were the first team to win their division with eight wins since… you got it, 1985, when the Browns won the AFC North with a .500 record.  

 

Offense Was Offensive

The Cleveland Browns did not score an offensive touchdown during their last six regular season games.

 

Well, What Happened Was…

The Detroit Lions were 6-2 last year headed into week 10.  They have won just one of 24 games since then.  The Chiefs are 2-22 over that same span.

 

The Next Dolphins?

There were 8 teams, or 25% of the NFL, who stunk winning just five or fewer games this season.  Will any of them turn it around?

 

Shows What The Experts Know

When the Eagles bounced the Giants from the playoffs, it marked the tenth straight time the underdog has won the game when these two teams have met.
