Don't get me wrong they deserve the break, but they really are crappy to head into on a streak.

the difference this year though, is that half the league is taking a break at the same time, and they play another team coming off break as well (Jets) when they come back.
last year, with teams taking staggered breaks, it was a blood bath coming back. So they changed it up this year.
