Today on Stick to Football, we continue our NFL previews with the

0:12.8

NFC South taking a look at Tom Brady's division but first gentleman

0:17.8

we have some news to break down Matt Miller and Connor with you. Happy Tuesday morning, by the way.

The news starts right here, gentlemen, with Earl Thomas,

0:27.5
