It couldn’t have been scripted better by Alanis Morrisette.
On Sunday night, the Patriots, a team unblemished by a loss, get taken to the last five minutes by the Philadelphia Eagles, the cellar dwellers of the NFC East. The Pats squeak by with a win keeping their winning percentage perfect.
Then on Monday night, the Dolphins, a team still unvisited by a win, hang with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who sit atop the AFC North, for fifty-nine and a half minutes only to lose on a Jeff Reed field goal, keeping their losing percentage pristine.
So the two teams with “perfect” records continue on their march to perfection surviving their most threatening games of the season against the two teams from Pennsylvania.
And, lest it be lost on anybody, the Patriots are gunning to obliterate the Dolphins 1972 perfect season.
Ironic, don’cha think?
Like Don Cheadle said, “Crazy.”
I’m going to go out on a limb right now and predict the Dolphins will beat the Patriots on Sunday 27-24.
If not, then the Steelers will beat them 37-34.
Pennsylvania, y’dig?
