Misery Index · Euphoric
Patriots fans clutching a sixth straight win and first place in the AFC like it might bite them.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Six straight, first in the AFC, and yet the heart rate tells a different story — D.London torched this secondary all fourth quarter, and the only reason the Patriots are still standing is J.Romo yanking the extra point wide right. D.Maye to H.Henry for 17 settled things just enough, but a defense that needed a missed kick to survive D.London isn't the look of a contender so much as a team running very, very warm.
