Season Opener at home vs Lions
Down by 1 with 7 minutes left, 3 and out, 6 yards
Down by 1 with 2:30 left, TOD, -15 yards
Game 4 at NYJ
It was tied for 10 minutes before the 4th, we scored a FG on a drive that started with 3 minutes left in the 3rd ending with 11 minutes to go in the 4th, 47 yards on that drive in the 4th specifically
Game 8 at Denver
Technically doesn’t count because we didn’t get the ball in the 4th until it was 21-9 but we did go scoreless the entire 2nd half as we all know
Game 10 at home vs Eagles
Obviously didn’t score the entire 2nd half but just focusing on the drive after we lost the lead in the 4th
6:20 left down by 4, -2 yards, punt
2:49 left down by 4, TOD, 25 yards gained
Game 12 at GB
11:36 left down by 2, 3 and out, 2 yards
6:03 left down by 5, INT, 26 yards before
1:09 left down by 8 (chance to tie only), TOD, 37 yards
That’s right, we have zero late game winning offensive drives all season. We can only give the defense credit for killing most of our close wins. Our offense did kill a lot of time to close out the Jets game which is basically their only clutch performance late all season.
With the ball and a chance to take the lead or tie in the 4th quarter this season, on 8 drives we have scored 3 points and the only points we scored was a FG on a drive that started in the 3rd quarter against a team we were expected to blow out.
An average of ~16 net yards gained per drive before it ended.
This is clearly not the clutch team that pulled out dubs late on the regular where it felt like the offense taking the lead was a foregone conclusion to everyone watching. Offense has shown they don’t have the ability to put together a 4th quarter drive outside of literally one game.
If there were ever a time to figure out how to score points, now feels like the time
