that was decided by more than 21 points

NBC has broadcast Sunday Night Football since 2006 and it’s been the jewel of the NFL’s primetime schedule ever since, getting the best games and having the benefit of late-season flex scheduling. Fifa ultimate team coins But this year has been a complete dud for SNF. Through Week 10, games are being decided by a whopping average of 21.4 points. That appears to be the biggest margin of victory (through 10 weeks) in primetime history, dating back to the creation of Monday Night Football in 1970. (In that inaugural year, there was one MNF gave that was decided by more than 21 points.)

But margin of victory doesn’t tell the whole story. In 2011, for instance, the average is quite high, thanks mostly to the Saints’ 55-point blowout of a Peyton Manning-less Colts team. But that year had four games that came down to the wire. That one rout ruined the average.

This year can’t say the same. Only the Bears’ 28-20 win over the 49ers in Week 2 could be considered a “good” SNF game. The game with the lowest point differential was in Week 1, when the Colts lost by seven to the Broncos. But that game was only so close because of two late Indy touchdowns. Since Week 2, http://www.fifa14cup.com/ every other game has been decided by 18 or more points and many of those games featured the losing teams getting garbage-time touchdowns. Overall, the SNF games have probably been even worse than the scores indicate.
