The Slop Index
Turnovers, penalties, blown leads and baffling clock management, rolled into one score out of 100. Higher is sloppier.
Slop Index scores: New York Jets 91.4, Cleveland Browns 84.7, Tennessee Titans 79.2, Carolina Panthers 72.8, Las Vegas Raiders 68.3.
“Found a new way to lose in the fourth quarter. Again. It's almost a skill.”
“The quarterback room has more turnover than the ball does. Barely.”
“Committed more pre-snap penalties than first downs in the second half.”
“Punted on 4th-and-1 from midfield, down 10. Bold strategy, Cotton.”
“Front office keeps buying lottery tickets and calling it a five-year plan.”
