Thrilling finishes defined Week 7 in the NFL, as the Browns, Steelers and Lions were among the teams to win in dramatic fashion.

Among my pet peeves in this NFL age of analytics are those pervasive win probabilities so often cited when some team makes what the statheads want you to think is a virtually impossible comeback. For example, ESPN gave the Giants a 96.9% chance of beating the Eagles on Thursday night after New York took an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Falcons stood a 98.

entering Week 7, at least one team each week of this season had surmounted at least a 16-point deficit to win – with a backdrop of points being racked up at a faster rate league-wide than at any time in the NFL's previous 100 seasons. It sure feels like coin flips would be a better predictive device sometimes than these ubiquitous and ever-changing win graphs.
