NFL Old and Ongoing Bicker about Manning vs. Brady Thread. AKA The Biggest Loser
I guess WR's do make a difference. Harrison went out in game 4 vs denver this year.

I know you can't directly compare these stats for sample size reasons, offensive line reasons, etc, but the dropoff is pretty remarkable.
oh and before you comment, consider this short video

Edit: The Bonds thread worked well. Let's try it again!
If they win the OT coin toss they win the game and SB is definitely a hot take, who knows?
Both defenses were non-existent at the end of regulation. In the 4th quarter KC scored 3 TDs and a FG on the final drive that started with 31 seconds and 1 timeout left.
Basically the same situation as in the 13 seconds game a couple years later. Whoever goes first in OT is a huge favorite to win the game. In that game Buffalo got unlucky and lost the coin toss.

The first TD was 9 seconds into the 4th finishing a long drive, another TD was on a short field off INT, they did punt once after those.
Yeah if they won the toss, they would've been favored but they would not have been favored to go down the field and just score a TD. I guess that is a matter of opinion, but I'd have more faith in the 2018 Pats D than say the 2021 Bills or 2016 Falcons

Definitely a bizarre box score to look at for team stats....540-290 yards, over 2x time of possession, Kelce/Hill didn't do much but Watkins/Williams feasted, Brady 2 INT's definitely kept it closer than the box score suggested.
