Monday's Hot Clicks: Elizabeth Parrish; Bittersweet Weekend in the NFL

Monday's Hot Clicks feature the lovely Elizabeth Parrish and an injury-plagued weekend in the NFL.

Editor's Note: There will be one version of Hot Clicks today, then back to normal on Tuesday.

Prior to Week 16, broken limbs had already ended the season for Earl Thomas, Eric Wood, Zach Miller and Josh Hill, but the spotlight on such injuries grew brighter with the broken legs suffered over the holiday weekend by receiver Tyler Lockett and quarterbacks Marcus Mariota and Derek Carr.
