The Titans are still paying for taking bad quarterbacks in the top ten. Not once, but twice, over the course of the last nine years. Neither player panned out and they’ve already moved on to rookie Zach Mettenberger at this point. The Titans seem to be drafting better as of late so the jury is […]

The weekly meandering through statistical oddness starts with lots of numerical fun from a Titans-Eagles game that didn’t feature much defense. 107: The length of Josh Huff’s kick return touchdown to start the Eagles’ eventual 43-24 win over Tennessee. Huff became one of only eight returners in league history with a touchdown of that length […]

The National Football League had never seen 11 teams in one conference with winning records after 12 weeks until 2014. This year, the AFC has decided to make an absolute mess of the playoff picture, and with only five games to play for each team, it doesn’t appear anything will be settled soon. Let’s look […]

A recap of all that was stupid during the 13th weekend of the 2014 NFL season… The stupidest Mike Smith moment We’ve decided that the Atlanta Falcons head coach deserves his own category.
