From Surrender Index 90 via X:
NE decided to punt to NO from the NO 40 on 4th & 3 with 9:48 remaining in the 3rd while losing 0 to 24.
With a Surrender Index of 39.71, this punt ranks at the 99.6th percentile of cowardly punts of the 2023 season, and the 98th percentile of all punts since 1999.
Yeah, there’s no shortage of underlying issues… receivers not being explosive enough to get separation, a rotating oline plagued by injuries, mac jones constantly experiencing a breakdown of mechanics, etc. Just a total nightmare. I don’t really want a silver lining in the form of a draft pick, I want a win.
