26CornerBlitz Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Clutch Encounters: Week 8 | Football Outsiders Patriots at Bills: The Close Blowout, A Buffalo Specialty On Monday night, the Bills pulled off one of their specialties: give fans hope for three quarters, but lose by three scores to the Patriots. In addition to 4QC and GWD, we've introduced LC (lost comeback), SICO (self-imposed comeback opportunity), and NGBB (never got ball back) losses in the past. Let's add another to the lexicon with the close blowout, or CBO. A CBO is a game where the offense has a fourth-quarter comeback opportunity (down by one score with possession), but still goes on to lose by at least three scores (17-plus points). These are rare; this was the NFL's 91st CBO since 2001. It was also the 10th time Buffalo has done it, the most losses in the league. The next closest teams are the Rams (seven) and Redskins (six). As you might imagine, the Patriots have been on the winning end of the most CBOs with nine -- the next closest team is Kansas City (six). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
