NGT: Was there ever a 14-3 team to lose to only 1 team?

BUgiantfan : 12/3/2016 7:46 pm

A friend and I were talking about this and we have a vague memory of a team that seemed to steamroll the NFL except for one team in their division. They went 14-2, losing both games to the same division rival and lost in the playoffs to this team.

Maybe they ended up 13-4 with an extra loss in there somewhere. We're pretty sure this happened within the past 20 years and my google skills are failing me. I'm starting to believe my brain is making this up.

Jax to Tennessee?

Tom Coughlins Jaguars losing 3 times to Jeff Fishers Titans.

the Jags were 15-3

they beat Miami 62-7 in their first playoff game.

YES!!! That's it!!

It was the Jaguars! Thank you so much! I was starting to think I had dementia.

My friend is a Cowboys fan

and I'm hoping we can do a similar favor to his beloved team.

Just looked it up

and the score of the first Tenn win over Jax that year (in Jax) was...20-19.

They also played the rematch 13 weeks later. It's a sign!

and that 62-7 game ended both Dan Mario and Jimmy Johnson careers. :-)

Yes

2016-17 NY Giants over Dallas Cowboys

If we somehow beat the cowboys 3x

In a season while they went undefeated to all other teams and we somehow won the Super Bowl? That's my sports ultimate dream

The only difference between us (SB champs at 17-2) and the Skins (losers of the NFC Conf. game at 14-5) was the three games they lost to us that year.

No, they lost to Denver, we lost to Seattle.

You know that fans looking past opponents is not the same as the team looking past opponents, right? It's completely fine if fans do it.
