Important dates to remember: 
Taylor Swift’s NFL era: As the end of the 2023 NFL regular season nears, it’s clear the biggest story of the 2023 NFL season was Taylor Swift (Travie Kelce, too). Swift’s appearances at NFL stadiums including Lambeau, Gillette and Arrowhead sent Swifties of all ages into a frenzy that nearly overwhelmed the league itself. Football purists found the intrusion and Swift-related attention unnerving, but the pop sensation brought millions of new fans to the game. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce seem to be going strong, which means fans can expect to see Taylor herself in the stands of Kansas City Chiefs games as her schedule allows. Football fans may find it slightly annoying. But if the attention (and new audience) Taylor brought to professional NFL football just by showing up wasn’t proof enough, it’s Taylor’s world and we’re all just living in it — one era at a time.
Is this the Cowboys year?  Being a Dallas Cowboys fan requires a Texas-sized emotional commitment. Last season, fans gutted through quarterback Dak Prescott’s winning record (not in a good way) of most interceptions thrown in the 2022-2023 season. Dak whittled his interceptions down to just six so far this season and the 10-4 Cowboys managed the unthinkable — they toppled the mighty Philadelphia Eagles from their perch atop the NFC East. But the Cowboys’ 31-10 upset loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 15 is the kind of play that makes Cowboys fans weary. The Cowboys could go all the way to the Super Bowl this season, but it won’t be without taking Cowboys fans on an emotional rollercoaster best left at an amusement park.
Good morning, Baltimore. Many hours of NFL sports broadcasts over recent years has been dedicated to arguing the talents (or lack thereof) of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Lamar has always been a dynamic scrambler out of the pocket and this season is no different with Jackson scoring 741 rushing yards, the top for QBs in the NFL. Lamar is poised to have the best season of his career. The Ravens are 11-3 coming into Week 16 and MVP chants follow Lamar (again) at every turn. The Ravens might not get the hype of the Chiefs or Eagles, but they’re establishing themselves a Super Bowl contender and Lamar is already making a case to turn those MVP chants into reality. If you don’t mind being called a “bandwagon” by the teenager in your life, there’s never been a better time to jump on the Ravens bandwagon. We won’t tell and neither should you.
