Not to make excuses for some of the NFL’s better teams, but I’m inclined to believe the more surprising results of Week 14 were mere aberrations. Good teams on auto-pilot that struggled to get up for games against not-so-good teams.
The biggest favorite of the week, the Dallas Cowboys needed a game-winning drive in the final seconds of the fourth quarter to beat the 17-point underdog Houston Texans. The next-biggest favorite at 9.5 points, the Kansas City Chiefs allowed the Denver Broncos to climb out of a 27-0 hole before barely edging them out by six.
