When we beat the Chiefs on the final play in the regular season we were able to keep the final drive alive by converting a 3rd-and-27 and the Chiefs getting called for defensive penalties on back-to-back 4th down stops.

The Raiders were inside our 10 yard line when they turned the ball over on the final play.

We needed an interception on a tipped pass to beat the Titans on the last play of the game.

This kind of stuff happens all the time Fred. 

A lot of people throw the old lost 7 games this season by 6 points or less out there. Trying to make a case that this team or that is close, coulda, shoulda, woulda stuff.

Fact is a bunch of NFL games are close, it's the norm. The W is all that matters, not how or why.

But I'm not arguing this anymore.
