It isn’t easy for an entire division to go winless, especially when two of its four teams play each other.
The AFC South managed to pull off the trick in Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season on Sunday.
- The Jacksonville Jaguars fell to the Washington Commanders and that left them at 0-1.
- The Tennessee Titans blew a big lead at home against the New York Giants and lost, 21-20 when Big Blue scored on a late 2-point conversion.
- The Indianapolis Colts fell behind their division rival Houston Texans, 20-3, but managed to tie the game with 17 points in the fourth quarter. They had a chance to win but missed a late field-goal attempt and there was no scoring in OT.
- The Houston Texans started the Lovie Smith era by rushing to the aforementioned 20-3 lead against Indianapolis and managed to cough it up in the last 15 minutes. Overtime proved fruitless.
So, after one week, the AFC South sits at 0-2-2.
The Titans are at the Bills in Week 2, which will be a stiff test. The Colts visit Jacksonville and those teams certainly could play to a tie. Houston is at Denver for Russell Wilson’s first home game as a Bronco.
Who knows, this could continue through the second week of the campaign.
