Even if they had lost, Nick might still have been enjoying a great week due to his political views intersecting with sports. Known for his conservative beliefs, Nick surprised many when he interrupted a post-game interview after a victory over the Dallas Cowboys on October 27 to show off a &#8220;Make America Great Again&#8221; cap. This act led to significant backlash and an $11,255 fine from the NFL, but it didn&#8217;t seem to bother him much given his substantial contract earnings.
