Here are some fascinating stats for you. The NFL standings and team records if every one-score game was flipped in during the 2019 season shows which teams are the most clutch and which teams still have a little more work to do when it comes to delivering a win in crunch time.
Or something like that.
Whatever it means, it’s a fascinating look at how much better the 2019 NFL season could have been for several teams, as well as how close several other teams came to averting disaster.
For example…
• if the Chargers had won all of their one-score games they would have finished the season 12-4 instead of 5-11.
• if the Bengals had won all of their one-score games they would have finished the season 9-7 instead of 2-14.
• if the Cowboys had won all of their one-score games they would have finished the season 13-3 instead of 8-8.
• if the Buccaneers had won all of their one-score games they would have finished the season 10-6 instead of 7-9.
On the flip side…
• if the Seahawks had lost all of their one-score games they would have ended up 4-12 instead of 11-5.
• if the Packers had lost all of their one-score games they would have ended up 8-8 instead of 13-3.
• if the Saints had lost all of their one-score games they would have ended up 8-8 instead of 13-3.
• if the Ravens had lost all of their one-score games they would have ended up 10-6 instead of 14-2.
