Vinny, we got a real treat on Sunday Night Football, one of the best games of the year, 42 to 38. The 49ers score on every single possession but one. We actually saw their punter in the game for the first time in a while. The 49ers are basically rolling on all cylinders at this point. And, and look, give the credit to the Bears, by the way, too. I mean, they already had the division wrapped up. It still looked like they were playing hard, playing for everything there. They just came up a bit short. Yeah, this shows you how fun the NFC playoffs are gonna be. Caleb Williams changed the game for the Bears. They have now a legitimate quarterback who can win games, and it doesn't matter what the score is in the 4th quarter, he's gonna give them a chance in most contests. Now, with Brock Purdy, I think he's been much maligned. I think he was not fully healthy when he returned from the turf toe early in the season. Now you're seeing a total sync of the offense here. Christian McCaffrey staying healthy helps. Usually, when Trent Williams went down, you'd see Brock Purdy meltdown. That did not happen in this game, so you can see the sign of maturity there. He also got it done without George Kittle, his favorite target. So, this was a big moment for Brock Purdy, just to give them a little bit more confidence going to the playoffs. He's on a hot streak right now, and he's got to finish strong. And Seattle, the first time in week one was a low-scoring, ugly game. He has a chance to make up for that and play a lot better the second time around. So it should be a lot of fun for that #1 seed and the NFC West title there on Saturday night.
