To add another "meaningless stat" to the mix, consider red zone efficiency. The Bills were in the red zone three times late in the 4th quarter when the game was already more or less decided. For whatever reason, the offense made little effort to score TDs, relying on simple runs and safe passes. They ended up attempting three FGs, making two and killing multiple minutes from the clock. But today you can read that the Bills went 1-6 in the red zone, as if every one of those attempts meant the same thing in the course of the game.
