This year it has been the opposite; they find a way at the end to give up the game winning play. So the team this year has been the opposite of clutch.
Patriots have 4 one-score losses.
Bucs have 4 one-score losses.
Bears have 5 one-score losses.
Giants have 5 one-score losses.
Jets have 5 one-score losses.
Jags have 6 one-score losses.
Heck, the Texans are 7-5 and have 4 one-score losses.
If everyone won their one-score losses, there'd only be 3 teams left in the NFL with a losing record: Panthers, Raiders, and Titans.
That's the NFL. Losing those one-score games isn't why you're unlucky or baffling, it's why you're a bad team because that's largely the difference between good and bad teams in the NFL with it's parity. Only 3 of the Chief's 11 games have been decided by more than one score. They're 10-1 because they're a good team.
