In Week 14 of the NFL season, I learned that...
- ...you should never ride passenger with Patrick Mahomes behind the wheel, for he sees "Wrong Way" signs not as a law, but as a challenge.
- ..., Cam Newton looks so old on the field nowadays, he makes 43-year-old Tom Brady look young. Head coach Bill Belichick agrees.
