Yeah, we know Bill Parcells said "You are what your record says you are."

But which to teams do you feel are not what their record says they are?

Better than record: Cardinals only because Kyler Murray is back

Worse than record: Steelers whose luck will run out any week now. Right guys? Any week now.

Fun fact: or not so fun fact: you decide:

Since the beginning of 2014 season, the Steelers have played the second most one-score games through week 10 of this (95) in the AFC (I’m too lazy to compile the stats for the NFC) only to the chargers (98).

They have the best win percentage, in the AFC, in one-score games at .674. The dolphins are second at .625. The chargers are 12th at .429 over that time span.

Yeah, point differential is useful in the short term to identify "pretenders" but at some point if a team is constantly winning close games it indicates they are simply good at finding ways to win. The chances of flipping heads 64+ times in 95 flips is 0.0462% or 1 in 2163.

I don't think the Steelers are destined for the Super Bowl, but I do think their close game victories are more than just dumb luck.

Steelers coach good. Chargers coach bad
