Note: Some folks like to share their guesses for all of the questions, but in order to submit this form, only your initials (the first question) and a guess on the last question are necessary.

For purposes of the Question #6 Leaderboard, please write below a THREE-LETTER initialism you'd like me to use to track your entries. (You might choose your initials, but doing so is not necessary.) *

Question #1 - The Miami Dolphins lost to the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend in the fourth-coldest game in NFL history. Miami fans may have pined for warmer climes and warmer times, such as the 2018 “Miracle in Miami” when Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski jumped to his left and failed to tackle WHAT player, leading to Miami scoring the first walk-off, game-winning NFL touchdown involving multiple lateral passes ever?

[This player’s last name is the same as the stage name of the first artist to have three songs debut in the top three of the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time.]

Question #2 - The Dallas Cowboys were upset by the Green Bay Packers last weekend. The Cowboys’ gaffes may have reminded Cowboys fans of the two gaffes committed by WHAT alliteratively named player in 1993? The second such gaffe happened when he stepped to his right and touched the ball following a failed field goal, allowing the Dolphins to regain possession and win the otherwise out-of-reach game.

[This player’s last name is also an archaic word referring to someone from Latvia; you can add “-ish” to get another word for the Latvian language.]

Question #3 - The Chiefs will be hoping to avoid a repeat of the 2018 season when, in the AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, a seemingly game-clinching interception was waved off after the referee put his hands on his hips to signal that WHAT player was offsides?

[This player has the same last name as someone who often had a certain band play, in lieu of “Hail to the Chief,” the fight song of the University of Michigan.]

Question #4 - The Pittsburgh Steelers lost a rescheduled game against the Buffalo Bills. Fans of the Steelers might have wished things went more like they did in the 2015 season’s wild-card round victory over the Bengals, in which WHAT player implausibly caught a touchdown pass by, mid-catch, doing a front flip and tightly bringing his knees in, pinning the ball in his leg?

[This player has the same last name as a product of Chicago’s Second City comedy club who, in addition to being a co-creator and the star of the television show Shrill, was a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 2012 to 2022.]

Question #5 - Fans of the Detroit Lions, fresh off their first playoff win since 1992, might be tempted to celebrate in a fashion similar to WHAT running back, who was penalized in 2022 for a series of pelvic thrusts that went viral due to the act’s similarity to a Key & Peele sketch?

[This player has the same last name as a winner of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, who was the founder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines.]

Question #6 - Two of the 2023 playoff teams, the Lions and Cowboys, traditionally host Thanksgiving NFL games. Two other 2023 playoff teams have the longest streaks of not playing on Thanksgiving. The Cleveland Browns haven’t played on Thanksgiving since 1989, and the Los Angeles Rams haven’t played on Thanksgiving since 1975—the same year that a version of this newsletter’s theme was released in the U.S. WHAT is today’s theme? *
