Tidbits you might not know about Gronk, Zeke, Antonio Brown, and the ineptitude of the Houston Texans.

We were all gifted with the gift of three straight days of NFL action this weekend, and it did not disappoint.

The Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens kicked things off with a field goal fest in the rain, before the Minnesota Vikings shut out the Green Bay Packers on Saturday.
