On the first day of Christmas, the NFL gave to me:

— The Ravens took apart the Niners today, exposing their “issues” with mobile quarterbacks. But the red alert on this group goes beyond that. Brock Purdy again showed us his inexperienced, unsteady side … the side we had a glimpse of last year in the playoffs… real problems dealing with physical and fast linebackers and a beastly pass rush. I hope the Rams were taking notes on this game. And the Steelers just got a big hand out from their AFC North buddies.

— Eagles push back the G-men, maintain their sanity, but didn’t look that convincing in the process.
The tush push is still money, but the defense is steadily becoming devalued and the offense seems to be
strangely pass heavy and impatient; sounds like it needs a therapist.

–Give the Raiders a lot credit … character I wasn’t positive they had … in stuffing that dysfunctional Chiefs offense all day, and in adding another wrinkle to what is shaping up to be an incredibly complicated AFC Wild Card picture. Baltimore may well have nothing to gain in that season ending finale against Pittsburgh, and LV should play that much harder against the Colts, knowing that they could, conceivably catch the Chiefs for the division. Just sayin.
