A few brief thoughts on NFL Week 14

And now this week's edition of The NFL In So Many Words, the Blob feature in which reality dawns and critics say, "The reality is, I wish it were sunset for this and not dawn", and also "It dawns on me I got your reality right here, pal":

1. "Wait, you mean we're NOT going to the Super Bowl this year?" (The Chiefs, who were smothered by the Texans and are now 6-7)

2. (Also the Colts, who lost Daniel Jones for the season in a loss to the Jaguars, and whose quarterback room is now Riley Leonard, an injured Anthony Richardson and perhaps retired 44-year-old Philip Rivers, whom Indy is bringing in for a tryout)

3. (And, no, I am not making up that last)

4. In other news, the Buccaneers lost at home to the dog-poo Saints; the Browns lost to the Titans but Shedeur Sanders threw for 364 yards and three scores and ran for another; the Super Bowl champion Eagles lost (again!), this time to the Chargers as Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts threw four picks; and the Bears lost (again!) to the Packers.

5. "Wait, you mean the Packers still own us?" (The Bears)

6. "Wait, you mean Jalen Hurts sucks now?" (America -- except for Philadelphia, which has already decided he sucks now)

7. "Wait, you mean I had Shedeur Sanders last on the depth chart all this time?" (Browns coach Kevin Stefanski)

8. "Wait, we lost to WHO? At our place?" (The Buccaneers)

9. "Wait, we beat WHO? At their place?" (The Saints)

10. "Wait, you mean the Packers still own us?" (The Bears, again, for good measure)
