And Sunday Night Football provided people, uh, with a, a very fun game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Chicago Bears. 80 points put on the board. 42-38. The Niners get the win. The cover, uh, on a number, I think in some spots actually closed 4, so maybe a push. Uh, all in all, San Fran, that number kept moving up. It came down to the very last play of the game with the Caleb Williams scramble, uh, trying to find somebody in the end zone in the final five seconds. The one element of this game I just have to mention because it just feels impossible, Brock Purdy, 300 and 3 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 2 rushing touchdowns. On the first play of the game through a pick 6. Brock Purdy is playing maybe the best football of his career over the last two weeks, where he has 10 total touchdowns, and yet sandwiched in between the Colts game and the second drive against the Bears. It's just a, an insanely terrible pick 6, and I just, I don't know, I, I, I kind of love it. It was kind of, I don't know if charming is the right word, but a, a, a bit outrageous. Did, did you find yourself. More impressed or unimpressed with one of those two teams on Sunday night, I was more impressed with Chicago. I, I, I don't, I don't know if I, you know, we know Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey and that team have weapons, and we know they did it multiple times. George Kittle was out. Tom just steps up, right. You see, you see, uh, you know, Ricky Pearsall come on. He got paid it, but to see Caleb Williams and the Bears and Ben Johnson go toe to toe with that offense, blow for blow and be within striking distance to potentially pull that game out, I was more impressed with them. And now defensively, I thought both teams were atrocious, but I was more impressed in the loss. I'm gonna say this. With Caleb and that team because they showed maturity. They didn't, they didn't panic. The offense was able to make plays. They're doing it without Dud who's knocked out, you know, was knocked out. Luther Burden with a, a dynamic performance. D'Andre Swift rejuvenated. Loveland, all of a sudden, one of the best, you know. Uh, tight ends maybe in the conference. I don't know. I was, I was more impressed with Caleb's performance. Like, he was poised. He kept his eyes down the field. We saw plays where, hey, the guy was offsides and he took the deep shot. In a, in a playoff environment or situation, I now feel more confident saying that I would back this team. Uh, in a road environment. Maybe more so now than what I would prior to that game. Does that make, I mean, is that crazy? I don't think it is crazy. I think it is totally fair. I think Kayla Williams made a few throws where you, you say if he's not already one of the 10 best quarterbacks in football, he is going to be and to spend a stretch of time. As that, I think this team's trajectory, not just this year, but again, moving forward with Ben Johnson and Loveland and Burden and Manungai is all very, very exciting. I, I, I really believe that. I feel like they're. Like Washington last year, well, the problem is then we all know what happened to Washington this year. So that's, forget that though. But that, but, but, but yeah, but because they're actually young. Yeah, I, I just feel like they're starting to get it. Like, hey, the, the lighters went off with Caleb and Ben Johnson's offense. It took him maybe 10 or 12 weeks to feel comfortable, but now he's comfortable, and now you're seeing that confidence, that maturity, and all of a sudden that's a good problem to have as you enter the playoffs, whether they be the, the 2 seed, the 5. 5 seed the it doesn't matter. I just believe in them more the way I did with Jaden last year where if they go into, you know, a, a, a tough environment, whether it be, uh, I don't know, just throw it out. You, you tell me, San Fran again, Seattle, Seattle, they can come out with a win. They could be that 9.5 point dog that knocked out Detroit last year.
