In Week 12 of the NFL season, I learned that...
- ...it is possible for your entire team to come down with Coronavirus and be the happier brother on Thanksgiving (John Harbaugh, compared to Jim).
- ...if you're blind, in a wheelchair, but have one functioning arm, you could be the next quarterback for the Denver Broncos.
