Week 13 was, all things considered, a bit of a letdown.
Thursday night’s showdown between the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks ended anticlimactically with a head-scratching fourth-and-two call from Pete Carroll.

The New York Jets swapped out Tim Boyle for Trevor Siemian at quarterback, which is the football equivalent of deciding between fertilizers in a garden that will never, ever produce more than a few rotten onions each harvest.
