Can't Dance Unless You Learn the Steps

Conflicting feelings for the Vikings. One the one hand, you just added Kyler Murray to rejuvenate your offense. But on the other, he just left with an other-worldly concussion. And he threw a pick on literally his first throw of the game. Prayers up for a speedy recovery, but for now, Minnesota is stuck with Carson Wentz. Not a bad thing, as he finished last game going 12/19 with 133 yards and 3 TDs. Wentz will have to keep finding Justin Jefferson, who racked up 92 yards on 8 receptions and 2 TDs. You know he’s happy to have the ball thrown accurately again. They have a tough divisional matchup against Chicago, which they will most likely not win. But crazier things have been done.

         I got into my car to go work the Giants SNF game, and the Panthers and Bears were tied 31-31. When I got to MetLife Stadium, the score was 52-31 in favor of the Bears. So, yeah, the Bears are the real deal. Caleb Williams might be God. He went 21/29 for 269 yards, 2 TDs, 65 rushing yards and 2 rushing TDs. That doesn’t even look real. Chicago rushed for 291 yards total, with 6 total TDs and D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai rushing for at least 100 yards each. Their defense also forced an INT and 2 fumbles. An end-to-end game for the Bears. It’s going to be hard to slow down this team without them slowing themselves down. I like a complete Chicago team here against a semi-incomplete Vikings team that may need more time on task with Wentz.
