Mad Dash: Justin Houston's son celebrates sack record

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston set a single season team record on Sunday, recording 22 sacks during the 2014 campaign, eclipsing a mark previously set by Chiefs legend Derrick Thomas. He also came up just a half sack short of Michael Strahan's single season NFL record. Not a bad day at the office, and of course, Kansas City fans were plenty excited. But no one was more excited than Houston's son, whose reaction was posted to Houston's Instagram account. If it's an indication of any future on-field intensity, we'd say the Houston family may have another sack machine on the way.

You'd think Caroline Wozniacki swung a few golf clubs and hit a few driving ranges while dating Rory McIlroy, but either way, we're impressed with her latest Instagram video. Wozniacki sets up on a driving range, and knocks one a clean (and straight) 200 yards. She's a world class athlete, but golf has a way of being fickle to the best athletes, so it was a pretty impressive whack.

Less impressive was the Falcons' stinker of a performance in a 34-3 loss to division rival Carolina with a playoff berth on the line. Appropriately, the Falcons returned to a sewage soaked locker room after plumbing issues in their home stadium. It was a little too perfect (and awful).
