Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix is a man of many talents. On a 4th-and-goal early in the second quarter with the Baltimore Ravens leading 10-0, Nix handed the ball off to running back Javonte Williams, who flipped the ball to wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who tossed a touchdown to Nix.

Tactile controls are back in vogue. Apple added two new buttons to the iPhone 16, home appliances like stoves and washing machines are returning to knobs, and several car manufacturers are reintroducing buttons and dials to dashboards and steering wheels.
