"Thinking a NFL game is over if your team is up 21 pts"
I had to learn that big lead are never safe in the NFL because of the way a team can score in bunches. How many of us thought the game was over when our team was up 21-0? The lead looks huge but when you think about how the other team can score a TD and a FG to cut to 21-10, So right there the lead has been reduced to 11 pts that quick. Just like last year when the Pats were down 24-0 at the half and most thought Denver won the game. But the Pats came right back after the half because of the 2 TD's that led to 14 pts which reduced the lead to 10. Plus a team has the option of scoring on a 2 pt conversion to make two TD's count for 16 pts. So I no longer get caught up in what happens in the 1st half because a NFL game is never over until the clock says 0:00. I had to learn the hard way when my team blew big leads and had chest pains the rest of the evening. I know I am not the only who thought the game was over when my team lead by 21 or more pts
