A “miracle” in Miami, Hue Jackson is officially a curse, and, turns out, Mark Sanchez still isn’t an NFL quarterback. Here’s an NFL Week 14 recap for the attention-span challenged.
1. In a rare Belichick miscue, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was used as a defensive substitute on the last play of the game
Why. Was. Gronk. In. Coverage.

Because he’s definitely what’s wrong in Oakland ?
Pretty good life lesson from this Reggie McKenzie-Jon Gruden thing: if your boss ever gives someone a 10-year, $100 million contract, you have a new boss.

Four INTs helped limit of the league’s best offenses to just six points. @ChicagoBears‘ defensive highlights! #DaBears pic.twitter.com/g294gcf6Vg

8. And here’s a friendly reminder that Kirk Cousins is being paid $11 million more than TB12 in 2018 because he’s #elite
Kirk Cousins is 0-6 on Monday Night Football and has a chance at ignominious history tonight. The only other 2 QBs to start 0-6(Joe Namath and Archie Manning) on MNF never made a 7th start on Monday NIght. Tonight.. is # 7 for Kirk

Kirk Cousins is 4-23 against teams that are above .500 in his career.#MINvsSEA
