The five things about the NFL you should know right now: 

1. Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has agreed to a six-year extension worth nearly $60 million, including $24 million guaranteed. 

2. The Patriots have released cornerback Leigh Bodden just two days before a huge game against the Steelers. He was in the second year of a four-year, $22 million deal. Weird. 

3. Fans will be subject to hand-held metal detectors at games as a further security enhancement. 

4. Former Broncos receiver Brandon Lloyd suggests Denver quarterback Tim Tebow's style might not be good enough when the team faces "formidable opponents." 

5. Iggles receiver DeSean Jackson thinks he'll get the contract he's been seeking before the end of the season.
