everyone should be safe for at least 2 seasons, but a result this pathetic is enough that everyone should be getting nervous and getting sweaty in their seats. The result is just historically bad; not just one of those one-off bad seasons an otherwise good team has.. this is a full-blown, unmitigated disaster. Losing 8 games in a row in the modern NFL is hard to do. Losing 5 of those 8 by 21+ points is almost unheard of. It's just.. so. bad.The Vikings showed up with the 31st-ranked 3rd down offense - they punted one time on Sunday. This week starts the first of a 4 game stretch against division opponents, as the Commanders and Giants are going to meet up and see which of the two is destined for a bottom rung spot. Following that, Washington gets the Eagles twice and Dallas once; not hard to imagine this 8 game losing streak ends up at 12.
28. | (/NYG) | Giants | +1 | 2-11 | Big Blue didn't have any major accidents, Abdul Carter missed meetings or boat trips during the bye week, so Giants fans will take the small wins where they can get them. Another win is not subjecting Giants fans to watching their own team's defense on television. Thanks G-Men!
29. | (/NYJ) | Jets | -1 | 3-10 | If Steve Wilks doesn't get fired, this isn't a serious coaching staff. The Jets are 31st in weighted defensive DVOA this season. This was a top 5 unit just two seasons ago. Yes, they've traded away a couple high end players, but this level of decline is not what you should expect from a defensive minded head coach or an experienced DC.
30. | (/CLE) | Browns | -2 | 3-10 | Maaaaaannnnnn. Well we got our starter. so there is that. the Browns will travel to Chicago next week to play in absolutely frigid temperatures and what is sure to be a run heavy game. so you know what better time to show off Sanders.
31. | (/TEN) | Titans | +1 | 2-11 | The Titans picked up their second win of the year on a snowy Sunday in Cleveland. Their game plan was clear: lean on the run and structure the passing attack to limit Myles Garrett’s impact. Tony Pollard delivered his best performance of the season, as the offense rushed for 184 yards and allowed only one sack. The defense had an up and down day, giving up four touchdowns but forcing two turnovers and securing the victory with a pair of late stops on two-point conversion attempts.
32. | (/LV) | Raiders | -1 | 2-11 | Sometimes you win by losing and that's exactly what we did this week. An elite Bronco's D ate our offense alive but thankfully Pete made a great call to kick that field goal at the end (Go choke on a pizza Dave). Hope Geno recovers soon and can get back to his job of tank commander.

Sounds like Philip Rivers is tracking to start Sunday at Seattle:

Two days in now, and my time in the building this week has left me only MORE convinced Philip Rivers is this week's starting quarterback.

It isn't difficult to tell who a team is prepping to start. That player is Rivers. Period.

Panthers now lead the NFC South as the Bucs have lost 5 of their last 6 games.

Last time the Panthers made the playoffs was back in 2017. Time flies.

Why go for 2 when you are losing by 14

Since some of you are sometimes confused why head coaches go for 2 point attempts when losing by 14 and you score a touchdown, I figure I do a brief explanation of why it makes sense and teams ON AVERAGE should almost always go for it on this situation.

Mathematically makes sense:

2 pt conversions have a 50% chance of making it.

If you are losing by 14, it gives you a better win% converting a 2pt attempt than kicking thr extra point (which has a 96% sucess rate).

If you don't make it, you can go for it on the next score to tie.

Since there is a 50% sucess rate on 2pt attempts, ON AVERAGE you should convert 1 of every 2 attempts, math says one of those will be successful, MATHEMATICALLY speaking you are pretty much guaranteed to at least tie the game with a pretty good chance of winning it if you convert the 1st, 2 point try.

As oppose to kicking the extra point on both scores which has a much lower win%.
