Plus the 3rd one they went for they got 7. Effectively, even if "going for it" is 50% successful (you get 7), and "kick it" is 100% successful, it's still advantageous to go for it.
Cris Collinsworth really can't just compliment Caleb, even the TD pass was "That's probably an INT last year" which...Caleb has the lowest INT% in history among QBs in their first 2 years.
I want to feel like the Bears are playing with house money and a loss here wouldn't be too disappointing, but screw it, they're one of the last 5 teams left so just win it now.
Yes, the time frame includes those games.
The Northwestern game was a solid effort overall after a sluggish first half adjusting to a late Mirkovic illness scratch.
Minnesota has been a solid team for a month now and the zone in the first half flustered the offense. Petrovic turned out to be the key to break it at the end of the first half, and the offense got it figured out in the second half for a double digit win.
I did some research on football-reference. He played in a total of 19 road games in Dec/Jan that were not in NOR or ARI and went 4-15 in those games.
Aikman, over his career, was a lot like Derek Jeter. He was good but impossibly overrated due to the effect of the players around him.
Wild stat that may only interest me:
Sean Mcvay has made the playoffs in 7 of his 9 years with the Rams, and Sunday will be his 15th playoff game.
He has never played the same team in the playoffs twice.
