Peyton almost scored 3 late TDs? Must be his usual magic, right?
Well, after getting three score leads against CIN and PIT - that Patriots D allowed both Roethlisberger and Carson Palmer's offenses to score an additional three TDs late in the game.
A 31-3 game against CIN (halfway through the 3rd) ended up being 38 - 24.
A 23-3 game against Pit (in the 4th quarter) ended up being 39 - 26
Also, A 14 -10 game against the Jets (late in the 3rd) ended up being a 28-14 loss
I won't even mention the 30 points that a Ryan Fitzpatrick lead Bills team managed to score against the Pats. Or the CLE game.
Again, the biggest difference between being up 21 (Steelers) or being up 3 (Colts) or losing the game (Jets) is whether the O can keep scoring -- which they always have to -- which is why they are ranked #1 in points (out of bare necessity). The D keeps leaking like a sieve.
Turnovers are nice, but they don't happen often enough to hang your hat on 'em...
