The former example could be seen in the second Browns game. The latter example was basically every game the Bengals lost in 2020... Minus the thrashings we took from Baltimore.

Pains me to say it, but the Browns are better than the Bengals, and it isn't particularly close either.

This was particularly obvious in 2010 when we lost a bunch of close games and the Packers won a bunch of close games.  We went 4-12 and wanted to blow up the entire team and they won the SB.  Plus, counting close games makes us look like dolts for passing on Herbert, because as a rookie he won 6 games and then lost 5 close games...so you can squint and say he was 11-4 as a rookie.  Oof.
