9ers fans rejoice. Seattle just handed the 49ers some breathing room, SF can now afford to lose one game even if Philly win out from here
holy crap the INT at the end was ridiculous body control. Toe tap for Julian Love would have been epic for a WR, let alone a defensive player.
Fun game!

He collided with his own team mate as well. Metcalf made some great catches in the go ahead drive too

Brock Purdy is like that. Watch him closely and it's amazing his touch when dropping passes to his receivers. I realise Murray had to battle the suffocating 9ers D, but his touch wasnt nearly as good
Well put. Purdy makes it look easy but make no mistake he's a serious talent.
That one he threw into the front corner of the end zone was beautiful. Absolutely unreachable for anyone else but his receiver, such a tight window

Very impressive win by Ravens over Niners. They had the game plan and the personnel to shut down the 49ers offense.
Not a fatal loss for the 49ers but big questions remain about their ability to stage second half/4th quarter comebacks. The stats suggest it doesn't happen.
Ravens meanwhile look well placed but up to now under Lamar haven't transferred their regular season success to playoff success and the AFC looks tougher than the NFC.
Russell Wilson benched by the Broncos but that looks to be a financial decision to ensure Wilson passes a physical in March otherwise it triggers an enormous payout of near $40 mil.

Much like Carr last year the Broncos basically raising a massive 'we give up' banner over Wilson. Tanks his trade value, wouldn't be at all surprised if he's cut. That'll be a 85m dead money hit though (which they'll have to post June 1 to spread into 2025). His 2025 salary (37m) will become fully guaranteed around about 18 March 2024 so that's deadline day for a decision.

@KiwiMurph shocking call yesterday in the lions cowboys game. Mistakes happen, but the refs doubling down is a terrible look.
The classic Simpsons Skinner meme is
Cowboys: could I be wrong?
No, it's the other 31 teams and the NFL media that are wrong -
@nzzp What was even more shocking was McCarthy not running down the clock by running the football. A get out of jail free card there.
He was notorious for it at the Packers. Good coach in so many ways, but he and Reid used to get rightly mocked for clock management.
I almost had a clock/cock typo, which is kinda funny, and kinda juvenile humour. But I smirked.
