Well, that’s what a good defense can do to the 49ers. If the Bears run into them again in the playoffs they should have a better idea what they will do on offense.
Not sure where to put this. I figured there are probably a lot of people who share my sports rooting interests. And if it's seemed like a good sports year for you, that's because it has been!
I just looked this up:
2025-2026 is the first time in human history that the Bears, the Cubs, Illinois football and Illinois basketball will all have gone to the post season in the same year.
Let the good times roll!

Love the sentiment but let’s not jinx the last one please.

Garrett’s record sack was as big a fix as Strahan’s was.
Full Wild Card weekend schedule:
Bit surprised that Bills/Jags isn't the 4:30 PM ET kickoff time.

HEARTBREAK.
The Ravens are dumb firing Harbaugh. He is one year away from a dropped pass by a good TE from beating the Bills. They were one missed FG from making the playoffs this year. That was with Lamar having to sit weeks with injuries. You would think Lamar’s speed is probably a little slower than what it was 5 years ago. I understand as players get older they need rest from the grind but one of the tings some of the best qbs is the amount of preparation they put in with their WRs starting in the spring. The amount of money invested in Lamar is hopefully is going to be hard to build a team around him
Note I am a Steelers fan but have a healthy respect for the Ravens

We now know Lamar Jackson's role in the Ravens' firing of John Harbaugh
Baltimore made a shocking decision on Tuesday.

Rams-Panthers has been a heck of a game.

Charmin defense by the Panthers on the Rams go-ahead drive
Almost as bad as the 4 straight nothing plays to end the game.
Looking like the Bears before most halfs...
Jags lost to the Bills. Overall, good season for Khan's team. Let see if Jags can carry the momentum over to next season and build upon it. One question mark for Jacksonville will be what they are going to do with Travis Hunter when it comes to picking a position for him to play and sticking with it?

NFL front office has to be loving these playoff games so far. Very competitive and entertaining.

Watching 49ers-Eagles, why is it not a penalty when a runner puts his head down and goes helmet to helmet with a defender?

NFL officiating is nuts. A phantom third down conversion on a qb sneak for the Chargers followed by a blatant blow to the head on Herbert that everyone in the stadium and watching tv sees except for the head referee.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems in the last month or so I have seen more missed facemasks & blow to the head type calls than ever before. It happened to Luke in the bowl game & I've seen several others. I've come to the conclusion that facemask should be reviewable on replay. It's a pretty obvious foul that can be seen on camera. And its a safety issue. I haven't noticed this til recently. It seemed they typically caught those.
It’s got to be a tough week ahead for many St. Louis area/Southern Illinois-area football fans...
Root for the LA Rams who left and betrayed St. Louis football fans? Or root for Chicago... the long-time multi-sport historic St. Louis rival?
What to do? Wash the car? Mow the lawn? Take a walk? Go to the Zoo? Or watch... and scowl?
