Whenever a team surges to a nine-game winning streak and has it cut before the tenth win in a row, it tends to give off an “it was fun while it lasted” type of feeling.
As it should.
Nine straight wins in the NFL is a rarity. Winning nine games total is difficult, let alone accumulating those victories in consecutive fashion.
Despite the hype of the streak, there’s a lingering sour taste after Sunday’s home loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Like when you dine at a seafood restaurant and the salmon is flavored with a little too much lemon juice.
