Losing Close Games is a Bad Indicator

Doesn't matter if we were trailing by 21 points or more for 3 quarters. If by the end you have a chance to tie or win the game, then the game was close.


Man, when the Ravens choked against the Ravens, the Ravens must've been mad at the Ravens for nearly upsetting the Ravens. I heard the Ravens are looking forward to their rematch with the Ravens because the Ravens are not only planning on not losing to the Ravens but totally destroying the Ravens.

The final score ended up being only a differential of 3, but the Bears were leading by 17 points until just about 6 minutes left in the game.
Aside from the bomb to Chase and then Wilson's interception that led to Higgins' TD, the offense (and game in general) was a snooze fest.

So it felt less close watching the game than the final score indicated.
