NFL Week 1 Misleading Final Scores

347

The Chicago Bears were out-gained 331 to 204 yet won 19-10.   A 2-1 turnover ratio helped them as well as a crazy broken play from Fields.

The Bengals out-gained the Steelers 432 to 267 yet lost 23-20 in overtime.   A 5-0 turnover ratio and bad special teams killed them.

The Jets out-gained the Ravens 378 to 274 yet lost 24-9.  Some of that garbage yards.  A 2-1 turnover ratio and bad 3rd down 2/14 killed them.

The Colts out-gained the Texans 340 to 222 yet tied 20-20.   2-1 turnover ratio and poor Matt Ryan type red zone hurt them.   Also, bad special teams.

Denver out-gained Seattle 433 to 253 yet lost 17-16.   Poor red zone offense and a 2-1 turnover ratio hurt Denver.   Wilson also didn’t run the ball at all and boneheaded coaching to end the game by Nathaniel Hackett.
