well that didn't happen , they expanded every ounce of energy to make that comeback in washington , couple that with the dallas situation and they were a clear bet against

i can maybe buy a letdown in baseball or basketball after a tough game where all you have is a day or two to get ready. football players have a week to build up for a peak performance game day. they don't need to maintain the performance for any more than 3 1/2 hours and then they have another week.

you're overanalyzing if you think anything outside of actual injuries the prior week plays a significant role in a nfl teams performance a week later.

if you think these guys come to play 110% every week you are crazy, there are games that take a lot out of the players and they just can't give a max effort the next week , does it hold true in every case , no , but it does a good portion of the time
