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.

NFL fans: "Good teams find a way to win the close games."

Also NFL fans: "Your team's a fraud because those close games could've gone either way."

Bonus peanut gallery perspective: "Your team should never ever play games close enough to let bad officiating dictate the outcome."

Not all close games are created equal. Time of possession needs to be taken into account, plus who had the ball last and for how long. The Lions won a game by 3 points but ended the game on a 3 minute drive that ended with kneels and a chipshot to turn a tie into a win. That's different from a team that wins on a all or nothing down by 4 scrambling win.
