Key Takeaways
The main point that sticks out is Jacksonville, Dallas, Detroit, Kansas City, Miami and Philadelphia are virtual locks when they score first or take the lead. That shouldn’t be a surprise as five of those teams are leading their respective division, while the Cowboys are second to the Eagles in the NFC East.
On the other end of the spectrum, you’ll want to steer well clear of the 1-8 Panthers in any scenario. They sit dead last in the NFL standings and they’re the only team that hasn’t won a game when scoring first or when leading at the end of the first, second, or third quarters.

Key Takeaways
Two of the teams that stick out on this list are the Jets and Eagles. New York has proven to be a pest with a 3-4 record when trailing after the first quarter and they’re somehow doing it without Aaron Rodgers. The Eagles are also killers when it comes to comebacks as they’re undefeated this season when their opponent scores first and they’re 4-1 when trailing at the half.
There’s a few teams you can count on to essentially roll over and die at the first sign of adversity in a game. Arizona is winless when their opponent scores first, Indy is winless when they trail at the half and New England is horrific when they trail at any point in a game.
