It could be related to statistics, a league issue that you take seriously, or a niche part of history that doesn’t fit neatly into either of the above categories.

The Minnesota Grey Ducks have a record of 13-1 this season in the DSFL. On their way to that record they put up a total of 436 points. Some of the victories were not very close, but there are enough games where the score is very close to where I want to run an experiment. Kicking is a very important part of a team, generally the kicker will have the most points scored on a team. What if that kicker can barely kick? RNG was not merciful to this experiment, it chose 5% for each kick to go through. Our test subject, or at this point, victim, is Levy Tate, kicker of the Minnesota Grey Ducks. This should be the worst kicking season ever.
For each kick I will roll a number on google's random number generator from 1-100, if the number is 1-5, the kick is good, if not, he misses it. Now to tear apart a season.
The first game of the season for the Minnesota Grey Ducks was against the Kansas City Coyotes where they won 20-17. In the first quarter Tate lined up for a field goal attempt where his kick went through the uprights, in this dimension however, his kick was not good, and missed. Later in the first quarter Minnesota scored a touchdown. Tate's extra point attempt missed. In the second quarter there was another extra point opportunity for Tate. He missed again. In the third quarter Tate walked on to the field to attempt a 30 yard field goal. RNG was merciful, and his kick was good. But the damage is already done, Minnesota has now lost their first game of the season 15-17. Week 2 was a different story for Minnesota as they blew out the London Royals 38-10. The outcome of the game does not change, but the score does. Tate missed all of his kicks this game, and Minnesota wins by a score of 30-10. Week 3 was a close game where Minnesota won 24-20. In this kicker hell, you are going to need every point you can get. Tate's first field goal attempt was no good, taking 3 points off the board for Minnesota. Tate's first extra point attempt of the game was no good, taking another point off the board for Minnesota. Tate's next 2 extra points missed as well. Minnesota loses this game by a score of 18-20, and falls to 1-2 this season when they were 3-0 at this point. In week 4 we encounter another game that Minnesota can't lose, but one where it can look a lot closer. Tate once again misses every single kick, and Minnesota wins by a score of 32-28 instead of 43-28. Week 5 is the same scenario as the previous week. Minnesota wins by 4 points over the Luchadores instead of 14. Week 6 is yet another repeat of the scenario. Minnesota wins by 8 points less than they would have if their kicker could kick. In week 7 Minnesota had their one loss of the season, a 34-48 defeat at the hands of the Seawolves. RNG is merciful for Tate's first kick of the game, keeping the score intact for now. Tate misses his next field goal, and extra point attempt. But his fourth kick of the game, an extra point attempt, is good. Minnesota loses 26-48 as they now have a 4-3 record. In week 8, Minnesota had another close game with Kansas City. Tate misses every kick, and Minnesota loses the game, 18-24. In week 9 Minnesota had the exact same score they had back in week 2 against London, in both scenarios. Minnesota wins 30-10. Week 10 was a close, defensive struggle for Minnesota against Portland. Now instead of winning this game, Minnesota falls to 5-5 as they lose 6-10. Week 11 had yet another close game, this time a 28-25 victory against Dallas. But in this hell, something different happens. Tate misses his first three extra point attempts, but makes his fourth. Resulting in a score of 25-25 as the clock hits 0:00 in the fourth quarter. Pickerwheel determined that the game ends in a draw, so Minnesota's record is now 5-5-1. In week 12, Minnesota matched up against the Tijuana Luchadores. Tate again missed every single one of his kicks, and Minnesota loses 19-21. In week 13, Minnesota has missed every one of their kicks going into the fourth quarter. But RNG has another idea, instead of missing a 29 yard field goal attempt, Tate's kick is good, and it is enough to hold off Bondi Beach, as Minnesota wins 22-21. For the final game of the season for Minnesota, they won 48-24, but after Tate was cursed, they win 36-24.
Minnesota's final record is 8-7-1, in this scenario, they miss the playoffs. With a kicker who can't kick, Minnesota goes from an incredibly dominant team, to one that misses the playoffs entirely.
