Trivia[]
- Cam Newton can be seen flossing in the background during Tony Romo's line.
- During most of the series, Tom Brady's red hat is backwards. However, during the second half of this episode, his hat is forward-facing, showing the words "Make Weeks 1-4 Great Again". This is obviously a parody of Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" hats, one of which Tom Brady owns.
