10. Teams generally don't play well most of the time on primetime games

Monday

Especially the Sunday night games but a lot of it has to do with the match-ups.

I think the Ravens would have gone further than the Steelers. I feel Baltimore got off to a slow start and made up for it in the 2nd half of the season but they came up just short.

I think the Ravens need a new kicker more than a new coach. The Ravens seem to have the worst 4th quarter luck of any NFL team going back to past few seasons.
