Bad teams win later in the season because not one team plays at the same level for an entire season.

All teams suffer from injuries, some teams benefit when the replacement steps up and some teams come crashing down. Some of these  teams get good players back before the season ends.

Some rookies shine then fade, some rookies improve from game to game. Some veterans improve.

Some teams struggle with a new system all season long while some teams that struggled early start to gel later in the year.

Some teams improve as the season progresses, some teams get worse. Sometimes they face each other late in the season.

Some teams struggle with trying to finish games and some teams figure it out.

Yeah it's hard to be bad for all 16 games. Look at the Jets...beating the Rams and Browns. I doubt their fans are like 'Wow Gase saved his job!'
