The season is halfway over. Sort of.
The post-Sunday wrap-ups have just gotten started, basically.
Debuted a couple of weeks ago, we post a snapshot of every Sunday game on Monday morning, with relevant (to me, hopefully to you) insights and/or nuggets from each game.
Here they are for the most recent Sunday that was.

The Broncos had fattened up against not-great teams. The Ravens have given them a reminder that, while the Broncos might be good enough to get to the playoffs, it could be a short stay.
Bills 30, Dolphins 27
