You were smart to expect the Atlanta Falcons would have some sort of hangover after blowing a 25 point lead in last year’s Super Bowl. Most people believed that even with a high powered offense returning most of their stars, the team would struggle. So far, through three games and it’s been the offense that has…
Miami FL: For the second straight week, the New York Jets had a 14 point lead against a division rival. And for the second straight week, the Jets lost the game.
