Overtime games, comeback wins on rise in NFL, but so are blowouts
The NFL has been highlighting the big number of late comebacks, overtimes and last-minute finishes so far this season.
The six games decided by at least 22 points on Sunday marked just the third time that has happened on a single day in the past 100 years, with the others coming on Oct. 25, 2009, and Sept. 7, 1986. The droughts for two other division leaders are slightly shorter, with the AFC West-leading Raiders seeking their first playoff bid since 2016 and the NFC East-leading Cowboys looking to get back for the first time since 2018.
Miami and Houston are going the other direction with six straight losses after winning in Week 1, becoming the 24th and 25th teams to do that since the merger. The only other time in the past 33 seasons that two teams did that came in 2003, with Detroit and Atlanta.Rookie receiver Ja’Marr Chase is doing his best to settle the debate about whether the Bengals made the right move in drafting him fifth overall instead of an offensive lineman.
