Today’s Brain Game congratulates the underdogs who won their NFL games yesterday: Kansas City, Oakland, and Detroit. (What? The Lions were favored?)
All the information you need to answer today’s puzzle is included in the text below; you just have to find it. Good luck!
Our team’s quarterback completed 14 of 26 passes,
which were caught by four different wide receivers:
Fontenot, Jones, Rooney, and Whitwood.How many passes did each receiver catch?
Got it! Clever puzzle.

Great Puzzle! I got it after a bit and now I’ve passed it around the office. This really made my Monday morning.
