The 11 worst brain farts of the 2022 NFL Playoffs (so far)
2022 has proven sloppy games can be great ones.
Super Wild Card weekend was anything but. The Divisional Round, however, was a proper redemption for the 2022 NFL Playoffs.
Four walk-off wins set the backdrop for arguably the greatest weekend of pro football ever staged. The drama within was especially human; most of these finishes were set up by dumb, avoidable mistakes that tossed leverage aside and gave hopeful opponents shining new opportunities.

What began as a top 10 list has swelled to 11 with a host of honorable mentions thanks to this year’s glut of brain fart plays. Without any further adieu, let’s dive in.
