Former Michigan Athlete of the Week: Chase Winovich

New England Patriots outside linebacker Chase Winovich had 2 tackles and 1.5 sacks in a 43-0 win over the Miami Dolphins. And speaking of the Dolphins…they might literally end up being the worst team in NFL history, even worse than the 0-16 Lions and the 0-16 Browns.
