NFL - Some Stats Are Worth A Second Look
When it comes to any sport, stats can reveal a lot about where a team is heading. For example, did you know the Patriots have suffered their first October loss since 2005, or that they have won their past 4 Monday night games?
The 49ers have lost seven consecutive October games. The Titans have won eight consecutive regular-season games, the longest current streak in the NFL. The Dolphins have run 23 direct-snap plays this season.
Of course, just like the Patriots October record, stats don’t guarantee anything. In fact, I am firmly of the view that nothing lasts for ever. If a team is having a run, it will break at some stage. Even a run of losses are going to be interrupted somewhere along the track and to me, that is where stats are interesting. Take this Monday night. The Patriots take on the Broncos in New England. The Broncos are looking for their 400th franchise win. The question then is, will the Patriots go 5 straight on Monday nights, or will the broncos get their 400th franchise win? You tell me?
