I’m back to debunk a few NFL narratives after having a decent debut for fact or fiction last week. Initially, I thought my bosses enjoyed seeing me unleash more football takes that will eventually be proven wrong.
For example, I wrote that I wanted to call the Packers the best team in the NFC North and the only reason I didn’t was because of injuries. But, obviously, I was wrong. Not even a healthy Packers’ squad would have beaten the Lions on Thursday night. Detroit leads the NFC North, and that’s a fact.
But I wasn’t wrong in saying the Dolphins wouldn’t win 15 games this regular season. That was fiction because of Miami’s tough schedule. After an ugly loss in Buffalo, the Dolphins still have to play the Bills again later this season.
