Recap of 2021 Week 14 Friday Night 5 Questions

Question 1: The Cleveland Browns beat the Baltimore Ravens 24-22. A narrow 47.5% minority picked the Browns to win. The Browns go ahead of the Steelers in the race for a playoff spot. But Lamar Jackson is injured. Maybe this works to Steelers advantage IF they can win out. Notice the big if.

Question 2: Lamar Jackson injured his ankle on the first play of the second quarter. He left the game after gaining only five rushing yards. Nick Chubb ran the ball 17 times for 59 rushing yards. 77.5% of respondents gained an easy point by predicting Chubb running for more yards than Jackson.

Question 3: Depot respondents named six teams who they believe is the best team in the AFC. A couple stalwart fans stuck with the Steelers. Explaining, “The question is ‘best’ not ‘most likely to win the Super Bowl’ – I am incredibly proud to be a Steelers fan. A respectable, respectful, progressive, stand-up organization that is always in the mix, year in and year out. Wouldn’t trade with anyone.” The New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs gobbled up most of the vote. The Patriots collected 48.6% compared to the Chiefs 37.1%. No points for this question this week.

Question 4: The Bengals fell behind early. But managed to tie the San Francisco 49ers before eventually losing in overtime. 42.5% of respondents scored a point by saying the Bengals would not beat the 49ers.

Question 5:  Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase caught five receptions apiece. Steelers Depot respondents evenly split on these two receivers. Steelers Depot headquarters is in a giving mood during the holiday season. After lengthy deliberation, headquarters determined that answering either player scores a point as they each led their team in receptions.

Here are the consensus responses of Steelers Depot respondents compared to the correct answers:

Steelers Depot respondents collectively answered two of four questions for score correctly. To keep pace in the standings, respondents needed three correct answers with the participation point to score four this week.

Seven respondents gained the five-point weekly bonus by answering all four of the scoring questions correctly for ten total points. Three are out of the money by taking the over on the tiebreaker.
