One of the few benefits for NFL players who have to play in a Thursday night game is having a full weekend off.
This added free time came at a great juncture for the Patriots, who after 11 games still haven't had their bye week. But the brief break comes at a convenient point particularly for Matthew Judon.
The New England Patriots linebacker is a big fan of Adele, whose new album, "30," was released on Friday. Judon planned to celebrate the album release by showing off his singing talents, or lack thereof.
"Wait a min this is god sent. New @Adele album and I got the weekend off. Can someone say K.A.R.A.O.K.E," Judon tweeted Friday.
Judon and the Patriots certainly should treat themselves to a fun weekend. The Week 11 triumph over the Atlanta Falcons extended New England's win streak to five games.
