Since you probably have your power back, here is a recap of this week’s NFL news to get you completely out of the dark:
Luck/Manning: Creepily, after this weekend’s games, Andrew Luck, the Indianapolis Colts’ quarterback who controversially replaced Peyton Manning, has the exact same amount of passing yards as his predecessor: 2404 yards.
