In pro football, home field advantage.

How many times has someone thrown 4 1 yard TDs? Seems like an extreme example to use for an already rare occurance of throwing 4 TDs in a game

More often than not, if you throw 4 TDs, you had a good game. Especially in today's game where it's highly likely that the reason you've gotten to the goal line in the first place is because you passed the ball a majority of the time.

In the regular season it's not a big deal

In the post season it becomes a huge deal IMO. Very rare to win the Super Bowl without some sort of home field throughout the playoffs

Derek Carr vs Baltimore. 199 yards on 35 attempts, 4 tds.

Crown him mvp after 4 games.

You don't think the other 3 games had to do with that at all?

For a quarter century 1990-2014,

The Browns, Bengals, Cardinals, Rams, Raiders, and expansion Texans were the only teams with losing records at home.

Since moving to the 8 division format, only the NY Giants have a better record on the road than at home. Winning 57.50% of away games vs. winning 52.50% of home games, but two of those away wins were against the Jets which occurred in Giant Stadium.

So does putting a water fountain in left field behind the shortstop, doesn't mean it's the correct thing to do.


That's a retarded analogy.

In baseball when a player comes out of the game he's out for the remainder of the game. The DH undermines that rule by using 2 players half the time. It was introduced as a gimmick to inflate offense
