Quickie Notes: The "Fuck Andy Reid" Edition

Out of the 14 games played so far in week 7:

8 of them got to 1 score or less.

Cliffhanger Index:  Bengals over Lions (FG at the gun)
                             Jets "over" Patriots (FG in OT + ref rigging)
                             Buffalo over Miami (FG with :33 left)
                             Washington over Chicago (TD with :45 left)
                             Pittsburgh over Baltimore (FG at the gun -- after a tying TD < 2:00 to go for Balt.)

So that's 5 so far.

And I didn't do week 6.  So I will do that now.

1 score or less:  5

Cliffhanger Index:  Cincinnati over Buffalo (FG in OT)
                             New England over New Orleans (TD < :10 left)

That's 2.

Season totals:  53 out of 105 games (just over half) decided by 8 points or less.

Season Cliffhanger Index so far:  25.  Right about normal.  About 1 out of every 4 NFL games comes down to a score in the final two minutes or in overtime.
