A few brief thoughts on NFL Week 14

 And now this week's edition of The NFL In So Many Words, the sporadically incredulous Blob feature of which critics have said "I'm just incredulous this abomination has lasted this long!", and also "Incredulous? Hell, I'm absolutely astounded!":

1. "Wait, we let Bailey Zappe beat us? At home? In front of the whole blankety-blank nation??" (Steelers fans, incredulously, after Zappe threw three touchdown passes and the 2-10 Patriots beat the Steelers on Thursday Night Football, 21-18)

2. "Well, at least it was on Prime. Only a handful of people have Prime, right?" (Also Steelers fans, grasping at teeny-tiny straws)

3. Meanwhile, the Colts!

4. Left its fan base incredulous as it pooped the bed in Cincinnati in a 34-14 loss.

5. "But I thought we were good now!" (The fan base, incredulously)

6. "What th-? You mean we're halfway decent now?" (Bears fans, incredulously, watching Justin Fields 'n' them floor-wax the Lions 28-13)

7. "Oh, no. Does this mean we'll stick with Justin Fields?" (Also Bears fans, fretfully)

8. "Crap! I can't believe we gpt screwed by the refs two weeks in a row!" (Chiefs fans, after a late Travis-Kelce-lateral-to-Kadarious-Toney go-ahead score was called back because Toney lined up offsides  in a home loss to the Bills)

9. "F-word! I can't believe the refs didn't tell Kadarious he was lined up offsides! It's like protocol, man!" (Patrick Mahomes, incredulously)

10. "Wow! I can't believe Kadarious lined up offsides! It's like the first thing they teach you in youth football!" (The rest of America, also incredulously)
