Yes, it is nearly impossible to beat the same team 3 times in the same season - especially since the Ravens lost by a total of 7 points in the first 2, and they were robbed by a terrible reversal at the end of the 2nd game. Either way, it has been a fun year, as they weren't expected to do anything even close to what they have accomplished.

Either way, it has been a fun year, as they weren't expected to do anything even close to what they have accomplished.

Actually, it's been shown that the majority of the time, a team that has beaten a team twice already, will do so again when given the opportunity. As a Steelers fan, I've seen this fact brought up a lot up to the point where the game was actually played.

Here's a link...I knew the "11 out of 17" stat was sticking in my head, but I didn't know where all I read it. Google ftw:

NFL teams with chance to beat opponent 3 times in the same season | Dallas Cowboys News | Sports News | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News

"Since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, there have been 18 times when a team went into a playoff game with a chance to complete a three-game season sweep, according to STATS, Inc. Those teams are 11-7. Here are the previous matchups, with the team that won both regular-season games listed first, along with the postseason result:"

So - far from "nearly impossible," especially since it just happened.

Yeah, I've never understood why the "Expert analysts" say that it's nearly impossible. Usually it's the ex-players who say things like "You learn so much about a team the first 2 times so you can adjust" I think they forget that the other team adjusts and changes playcalling as well.

The Giants really blew this season, unreal how they went down the drain.

Go Skins!
