It’s not a freakin’ ratio!
Grrrrrrr….
Last year the Patriots forced 36 turnovers and had a plus-9 turnover ratio. This season, the Patriots have a minus-6 turnover ratio. The last time New England finished on the negative side of the turnover tally was in 2000, when it was minus-2 and posted a 5-11 record in Belichick’s first year.
Repeat after me, stupid journalists — quantity A minus quantity B is a difference, not a ratio (and don’t go calling it a “differential”, either).
