Comments:
The Patriots struggle to beat another lesser opponent in their home stadium. If the Jets had won, one of the things I would've pointed to was their third down coversion rate (9 of 16) as a major factor in keeping them in the game.
Well, the Bengals were +2 on turnovers against the Colts, but the Bengals offense just collapsed against what has been an unremarkable defense (although the Colts defense is currently best in the league on third down conversions, thanks in part to a 1/13 performance by the Bengals).
One of the big differences for the Seahawks between last year and this is turnovers. Last year they finished the regular season with a +20 cumulative turnover margin. This year, nearly halfway into the season, they're currently at +1.
The Eagles, Colts, and Cowboys are all in the top 5 of turnovers on offense right now. They might all make it to the postseason, but as I've observed before, turnovers can be a real deal breaker when it comes playoff time.
