LOSER: St Louis Rams

Which is worse, squandering a 21-point lead or having your tight end take a swing at your quarterback?

How about both? Losing a game against the Dallas Cowboys—they of the “no-defense defense”—is pretty brutal when you are up three touchdowns. There is no denying that.

But having Jared Cook—fresh off a dropped touchdown pass, mind you—shoved quarterback Austin Davis on the sideline, nearly starting a massive fight with his own team, as reported by SportingNews.com’s Troy Machir (check out the link for a nice Vine of it).

As Machir pointed out, the Rams were winning at the time.

Losing is bad. Fistfights on the sideline as well? That’s doubling down on bad.
