Poz: The Worst Football Game Ever

That Twitter fanbole went like this: “Cannot wait to watch Chiefs-Raiders game Sunday. Don’t want to jinx it, but that has a chance to be the worst game ever played.” Well, as these things go, it inspired quite a few responses from people who totally disagreed and brought up other recent games that they felt certain were worse than this week’s Raiders-Chiefs game. There was the Browns-Bills catastrophe a month ago. There was the Redskins-Lions blight on society. There was the Rams-Lions horror show. There was every Lions game last year. And so on.
But, I found myself shaking my head. Those were dreadful games, no doubt. Someone mentioned the classically bad Redskins-Cowboys Monday Night game when they both came in 0-4 — the Cowboys won that game 9-7. That was some kind of bad.
But I think this Chiefs-Raiders game has a chance, a real chance, to be the worst ever, and it begins with the rivalries point: The Chiefs and Raiders make up one of official rivalries in sports. This isn’t some nondescript matchup between Tampa Bay and Carolina. Sure, those two teams on any given day could give you a harrowing football game. But they can’t give you that transcendent bad football experience that we want.
The Raiders and Chiefs can.
