An entire middle class of NFL teams collapsed in November. Six organizations that had a viable shot of either winning their divisions or claiming wild-card spots simply fell apart over the past few weeks, opening up opportunities for the likes of the Cowboys, Seahawks and Broncos in the process. Favorites to make the postseason have seen their odds shrink or shrivel up entirely.
I'm going to run through those six teams to see what went wrong. (Hint: It involves injuries!) I'll also be trying to find a lesson for them to learn heading into 2019 to avoid ending up in this situation again.
