Fantastic win - penalties have to get under control and Caleb took a few early sacks in first half where he has to get the ball out of his hands but overall that was such a clean game by Caleb and the D.

They made it to worrisome in the end - the penalties and Roschons fumble were no bueno. Kyler played electric!

Was great seeing the ball spread around so much and seeing Loveland early and often in this one.

I am hoping that Caleb getting to sit and watch the first Case game helped him visualize the Ben Johnson offense.

Right but I agree that things started to go the wrong way with that fumble and Walkers stupid head butting penalty, not so much the defense swapping out. Once those things happened it put the defense on their heels

Exactly - Roschon doesn't fumble and I don't even know if the defensive starters are back. Offense looked smooth and Roschon was on pace for a nice run when he fumbled. I think Monagai is out again this week. Hopefully Bears can execute the short-turn around and play a crisp game and win against Pats. Would be huge and then they can get the extra rest which they will absolutely need and hopefully get Kyle back at that point (plus we'd be getting Montez back too).

That was I believe his lowest air yards thrown in a game in his career - I have to think him watching from the sidelines played a part in that, also the gameplan was probably designed to get Caleb some early confidence - but to his credit he executed excellently.

Hearing some of these stories about him not being able to sleep while he was in the UK because it was risky and yet he somehow started and played is crazy. Wish Hurts all the best and hope he can get treated and healthy.

It sounds like people who were in charge of his well being felt that the win was more important

This won't end well then.

I'm curious whether it was his people or the Eagles people. I'm presuming Eagles. I know Eagles have had their issues but Hurts is relatively easy to root for. He plays tough, has performed well above his draft grade, won big games, etc.

I don't care who it was, I will always fall on the side of player safety. If someone endangered Hurts, they need to never work in the field again.

It’s absolutely insane that they felt sleeping was too dangerous for Hurts but playing was not

Yeah when I heard that I was like something doesn’t add up. And then I can’t imagine flying back from London to Philly is great either (or flying in general).
