He also had all four touches on the final series as the Hawks are still alive (interestingly his current team will eliminate his 2021 team with a win, yet they also need his former team to win, which is why in all likelihood they both go at 4:25 Sun to prevent an eliminated Lions team from suddenly going with Nate Sudfeld)
Called that wrong but kinda makes sense, Lions/Packers does become a win-and-in game if Hawks lose, and nothing else is that appealing--even Titans/Jags, which they kinda did split the baby by giving it to (presumably) Buck/Aikman. Besides I think Dan Campbell would probably go out of his way to make sure anybody who lays down never plays in the NFL again (a guy next year probably mysteriously gets IRd in the preseason and is out for the year).
Yeah, may not be pefect scenario this year, but I think they should have waited till after Bills Cincy. Pats need a win and if Bills win tonight, so would the Bills (for bye) assuming KC beats LV Sat. I think NFL should have waited.

Josh Johnson in the NFCCG right now with Purdy out (wrist looks like), Niners went three and out on the first series.

The 49ers winning this game and potentially even Johnson starting the Super Bowl would be such a gift to the XFL marketing team.

Poor Josh Johnson, in the game with such an opportunity and nothing goes his way.

I feel bad for Josh. Thrown to wolves.

The NFC was subpar this year sans Philly and they looked vulnerable despite win. A 3rd string 7th round rookie QB leads second best team?

Shanahan and SF shit the bed again! Horribly coached, managed and players no discipline. 7 1st downs on penalties and Philly really couln't do much but didn't need to.
Obvious dropped pass on 4th by philly and Kyle doesn't challenge?
Down by 7 with 3 timeouts and rushes a December QB signing to hike ball under 2min in half down only 7 at their own 37?

It's like watching a train wreck.. he chokes in every major game.
