NFL Thread: 2025-26 Season

So the Micah Parsons Bowl ended in a tie after I had to go to bed at a reasonable time for work this morning, huh. Can’t say I saw that coming. Me being the guy obsessed with obscure stats that I am, I’ve found myself doing research on NFL tied games before, and I would like to say “How ‘bout them Cowboys?” but this is already their second overtime game in their first four with one of them being a tie, which I believe makes them the first team since the 2018 Browns with that extremely specific distinction. As for Green Bay, this is their first overtime game of the season, and for whatever reason there is actually enough historical precedent to say that most teams that end in a tie don’t play in any other overtime games for the rest of the season. The aforementioned Browns as well as the Rams and 49ers matchups in the 2012 season were both statistical anomalies in this regard.

Now, as for the game itself. Micah did actually log a sack in this game which I really don’t know if that should count due to it not actually being a TFL, but good on sports bettors I guess. I always thought sacks only counted if it was a TFL. Both quarterbacks balled the heck out, apparently, combining for well over 600 yards and six passing touchdowns and no INTs, and Josh Jacobs also led Green Bay’s offense in both rushing a receiving yards. Apparently this was the highest scoring overtime tie game in NFL history- I want to say the previous record was 37-37- and the box score seems to back that up, at least.

I’m fairly confident this is the worst the AFC North has ever been

Here’s some trivia for you: since the 2002 realignment, the AFC North has had none of the following:

  • A team win the division three or more consecutive seasons- the last to do it were the Steelers in the late ‘90s
  • A season where the Ravens and the Steelers finished as the bottom two teams (conversely, the Ohio teams have never combined for first and second place)
  • The Steelers finishing in last place- as of 2023-24 they are the only remaining team with this distinction
