Welcome to the Week 14 grades!
For just the third time this season, the NFL held a doubleheader on Monday night and it might go down as the best Monday doubleheader in NFL history with both games going down to the wire. In New York, the Giants shocked the Packers by hitting a 38-yard field goal as time expired to pull out a 24-22 victory.
In Miami, the Titans pulled off a miracle 28-27 win over the Dolphins by overcoming a 14-point deficit in the final three minutes. To give you an idea of just how improbable Tennessee’s win was, just consider these numbers:
NFL teams had lost 642 straight games when trailing by 14 points in the final three minutes.Teams are now 4-2,074 when trailing by 14 or more points in the final 3 minutes over the past 20 seasons. That’s four wins compared to 2,074 losses (The last team to pull off a similar comeback was the Saints in 2017). The Titans are the first team in NFL history to make a comeback by 14 point or more in the final three minutes and WIN IN REGULATION. The last time a comeback like this happened in a Monday game was Peyton Manning’s famous comeback with the Colts in 2003. In that game, the Colts were trailing 35-14 with four minutes left, before pulling out a 38-35 win in overtime. This was the largest upset win in the league since the 2021 Colts-Jags regular season finale
This game was also a huge upset. The Titans went into a Miami as a 14-point underdog, which makes this the biggest point spread upset in two years.
Alright, let’s get to the grades, starting with the Titans’ miracle in Miami.
