Misery Index · Miserable
Patriots fans treating a road win like a funeral after watching W.Campbell get carted off in tears.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
M.Jones essentially won this game by himself — a 33-yard pick-six off J.Flacco in the second quarter and a pass breakup on the final deep shot to M.Gesicki. But a 26-20 escape in Cincinnati doesn't feel like a win when a player leaves on a cart with a towel over his head, and R.Stevenson getting stuffed at the 1 only sharpened the sense that something is quietly breaking here. The scoreboard says W. Nobody in this fanbase is celebrating.
