It was another dramatic week in the NFL, one in which six games were decided by four points or less. Pat Mahomes took down Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers did the same to Bill Belichick, and Jalen Hurts came roaring back against the Jaguars’ young, vaunted defense. Please, blog, may I have some more?

CoolwhipRB: "Dameon Pierce! [eyes emoji] Free title: Pierce the Veil!"Â

If you've been around fantasy football a while, you know there are weeks like these where all the projections fail and the contrarians run amok. Did you have Geno Smith vs the Lions backups going for nearly 100 overall points? Leading rusher Rashaad Penny -- who out-rushed Derrick Henry and Jonathan Taylor combined? 60-yard field goals (and nearly 2 of them in the same game!)? Something called Bailey Zappe helming the esteemed New England Patriots? It's OK, these weeks happen. Sometimes there's a crack in the world that you can peer through to see what it really is -- backups all the way down.Â
"The Amen Break" is probably the most popular drum beat in Western music. If you sat down right now behind a drum kit, you'd try to play it. You'd sound like Oscar the Grouch smashing trash cans, but you'd still try, at least. Meanwhile, "The Amon Break" is the respite from Amon-Ra St. Brown that you'll feel acutely this week, akin to something like a bad hangover from off-brand tequila. Sure you had fun, but now that's done and you're ready to spend the next 8 hours watching HBO you're "sharing" with your cousin who hasn't paid rent in three months because his crypto account froze during the downturn. Sure, Kyle, we'll see your OneCoin investments come to fruition in 2023. But for the rest of us? We're just trying to get through the week with out Amon-Ra.Â
