You don't think Kaep vs Wilson (two 2nd year QBs, both black, both mobile QBs that no one thought would do anything in the NFL) wasn't one of the highest rated and most watched NFC Championship games and didn't have an incredible storyline to sell?

I'd be highly surprised if it's not all controlled and manipulated in some way to benefit the NFL brand as much as possible.
Not trying to be insensitive here but is Kaep black? I thought I remember seeing his parents and I didn't think that they were. If he is though the NFL did a poor job of selling that IMO. I've said it before, they need better writers.
