Recognition isn’t everything in the NFL, but let’s be honest—it certainly feels good.

Mistakes, injuries, and inconsistent play have created a roller coaster so turbulent that even diehard fans sometimes struggle to keep their balance. Analysts dissect every flaw, and fans—already worn down by the chaos—often focus more on what’s going wrong than what’s quietly going right.
