Josh Jacobs ended the Niners' 55 game streak without allowing a 100 yard rusher. With Aaron Jones' 5 straight 100 yard games ending last season and Jacobs now 3rd in the league rushing this year, a strong run game clearly drives Matt LaFleur's offense. Neither Jones nor Jacobs has take-it-to-the-house speed but both contribute with steady 5 to 20 yard carries. Jacobs just pounded the Niner defense with tough runs. Will three days rest be enough to prepare for Thanksgiving night action after such a physical Sunday?
I was pulling for the Bears. That OT sack on Williams was brutal. With six or eight seconds to throw the ball away, Williams took a you-just-can't-do-that sack for a 13 yard loss, effectively killing the Bears opening OT drive. As surprisingly, the Bears tough D couldn't slam the breaks on the Vikings' winning drive despite several favorable down and distance occasions.
Looks like Detroit as the 1 seed, Packers/Vikings as 4 and 5 seeds. The road to the Super Bowl in the NFC will go through the NFC North. The Eagles are the only non-North team belonging in the top four NFC teams.
