Have you ever witnessed such a topsy-turvy season in the NFL?
It seems like more teams than ever have gone from bad to good – or good to bad – within the course of a season.
The good:
How about the Tennessee Titans going from 0-6 to 6-7 (and possible playoff contention) behind the play of QB Vince Young?
What about the Miami Dolphins going from 0-3 to 7-6 with second-stringer Chad Henne at QB?
And how about the San Diego Chargers going from a 2-3 start to 10-3 behind the MVP-type play of QB Philip Rivers?
Then there are the Green Bay Packers recovering from a 4-4 start to be 9-4 with QB Aaron Rodgers suddenly receiving some protection.
The bad:
Who could have imagined the Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers and QB Ben Roethlisberger going from 6-2 to 6-7 … and losing to the Cleveland Browns!
How about that 3-0 start of the New York Jets turning into a 7-6 season?
And don’t forget the suddenly-crippled Atlanta Falcons going from 4-1 to 6-7.
The indifferent:
Who would have thought the Denver Broncos would be sitting at 8-5 after winning their first six games?
And how about those supposedly invincible New York Giants slipping to 7-6 after a 5-0 start?
Indeed, there has probably never been a season quite like this in the NFL.
