Happy Holidays, everyone!
Hopefully everyone had a great Christmas, since we all received a belated lump of coal in our collective stockings as the New England Patriots lost both the game against the Buffalo Bills and control of the AFC East yesterday. Whatever funk the Patriots were in coming out of the bye is still, as far as we know, hanging in space over Lake Michigan, because they couldn’t close when they needed to and found themselves playing from behind right from the get-go.
Oh well. Such is life. On to the Fan Notes.
