In another week that was not what you would call a "pretty" win, the New England Patriots prevailed in a hard-fought battle against the New York Jets. 

Tom Brady was clearly hampered for the entirety of the game, but he put the team on his back and settled in for a signature game-winning drive that we have all become accustomed to.

Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was accused of not being Black enough and essentially called an ‘Uncle Tom,’ within the confines of his own locker room.
