Any bets on which team is in the top five? Hint: When they see a SB title within reach, they puke on the field. LOL.
What is a guaranteed win? When an NFL team blows a game that looks like it’s in the bag, it’s one of two things — it could be a fairly tremendous comeback, particularly if the team is finally starting to put it together after a particularly long stretch of bad football, or it could be a collapse of epic proportions by the team that, to that point, was in the lead. Often it’s six in one hand, half a dozen in the other, as players double down on correcting for victory while the leading squad gets flustered and winds up giving away a “gimmie.”
This phenomenon hasn’t affected teams equally since the 1970 merger, though, and while the sample size is probably too small to draw any widespread conclusions about a team’s culture or anything like that, it is interesting to examine which teams have given up games that should have been in the bag. This is defined by us as one where a team had a two-touchdown lead through three quarters, and managed to give it away in the fourth. All data collected through Pro Football Reference (PFR).
