What was the most improbable win yesterday: Saints, Jets, Cowboys?

Teams have to learn how to win in the NFL week in/week out.

Bengals are just finding this out after decades of mediocrity. Its not easy, and human nature will step in to slap you back to reality if you dont put in 100% week in/week out.

Thats what happened to the Bengals- saw a 1 and 5 trash team with a 3rd string back up and figured 75% effort would see them thru.

Unfortunately for them, thats not how team sports work.

We went thru a period of this on our ascendency - learning how to win consistently in sports is a real thing. Remember the 0-8 Rams w/ Marc Bulger?

Or any one of teams with pure rookie QBs that gave us the "oh shirt" game?

yeah ...Bengals looked RIGHT past the Jets and paid for it. Hubris.

As Saints fans we tend to only focus on our own team so we think these things only happens to us. For example, losing to the Giants. If you watch a enough football you see it happens to everyone. The line between winning and losing in the NFL is razor thin, if you don't bring it every week you will lose to teams that might not be as good as you.
