Joe Burrow misses nearly all this season and then returns to thoroughly outplay Lamar Jackson and make Ravens so-called great D look ordinary. Time to set aside the myth Jackson MVP caliber QB and realize he's also just ordinary.

Hall of Famer
Burrow would be a MVP candidate every season if his O-line could keep him healthy
Jackson is hard to pin - when he's healthy running, he's absurdly fast - very similar to prime Michael Vick, but his decision making is suspect and his W-L history is checkered. He's an mvp type athlete, but he's only a fair QB with extreme speed. Ravens have had at least close to the same amount of injuries as the 49ers - though they dont have the cupcake schedule the 49ers have.
Absolutely loved watching Chiefs get bounced by Burrow-Bengals - so satisfying.....but having he Chiefs be elminated from playoffs is even better. Of course interestingly it was the Begals defense that beat the Chiefs that year.
49ers favored a generous 5 over @Browns.....
NBC messes up by showing Broncos@Commanders - should be flexing in either Bills@Steelers or Texans@Colts.
Commanders are a big disappointment. At least the Bears are now fun to watch though they have a really tall schedule left and suspect defense - very similar to Lions
Upcoming Thursday Cowboys@Lions is awesome.
Cowboys have unexpectedly surged and look like one of the best teams in football right now on offense.....could be a little too late - but they have only a moderately difficult schedule left. What a lovely Thanksgiving thanks to the Cowboys and for 2 weeks in a row - the Chiefs and Eagles smeared out - bellissimo!!!

Bears Passed the their Exam today ----- defense was strkingly good, and the running game carried a happy-feet Williams - Williams just needs to make a decision to run earlier in plays - he's probably close to the top 5 QBs on running ability. --- Next week's very big game Bears@Pack
Despite being 9-3, not really guaranteed a playoff spot yet. Too many teams right in the same ballpark record wise. Have to beat the Browns. Then hopefully split with GB at least. That 49ers game is looming large
Bears look better than the 49ers right now - andrunning QBs give the 49ers fits.......the Bears/Packer games will be bigtime - similar to watching Rams/Seahawks.....that 49er game isn't for almost a month later though.....difficult to say what both team's records will be then ......
I haven't watched any Browns game this year to make a good determination as to the 49ers chances today - but a quick glance shows their scoring defense is 12th at 22ppg.....that's a bit better than average, though their yards per game is 2nd. Purdy having a clean game today and nixing fumbles will be a fairly sizable determinant,. as will FG kicking. Luckily for 49ers the Browns are 4th to last in scoring.
