26 of them were 1 score losses.
The NFL is designed to have a lot of close games. I think it was two years ago I checked out the entire season and if every team's 1 score losses were turned into wins, only 2 teams in the entire NFL would have a losing record and those teams would have been 7-9.
If you have a lot of 1 score losses, it isn't because you were close, it isn't bad luck. It just means you're not good.
To back this up, over the last three seasons, only 12 teams logged a margin of victory of more than one score.
The most dominant team over that span of time according to MoV is the 2019 Baltimore Ravens, with an average MoV of 15.6 points per game. That kind of point differential in the NFL is seriously impressive.
