Can't help but mention that in this puzzle, Joe Biden is conjured in the 3-pointer; in Split Decisions, it's Trump and Putin (Twitter and ruble); and in the main crossword, a shout-out to Obamacare.

We all know that the answer key is never all-inclusive. I'm not bothered.
Still, I was surprised to see "lamely" omitted, as well as the word of the 2010s, "leaker".

Winding Down is among my favorite “middle” puzzles.
[SPOILER ALERT]

ALFREDO banished those fears quickly.
FLAG and LITERACY must have been everybody’s gimmes.

I assume you mean that the answers for the "wrong" Patrick puzzle were there. The answers for the Patrick puzzles appear at 10 P.M. Eastern on the following Thursday.
