This team has now survived almost everything. They recovered from a mid-match Goff-ian fall; they recovered from a season-altering injury; they’ve recovered from the crippling weight of hype and now they’ve recovered from having their second-best defensive player ejected from a game because the NFL likes to look like a good babysitter when parents are watching. They won in multiple ways. They know who they are on a deeply personal level and are not afraid to be those people. It’s quite amusing to see all this happening.

There is no replacement for injured DE Aidan Hutchinson. But will NFC officials add someone, perhaps DE Za’Darius Smith, as a temporary patch before the deadline expires? But that may not matter much given how effective this multi-faceted attack is. Quarterback Jared Goff and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown haven’t missed a connection since Week 3, scoring 30 consecutive targets — tied for the longest streak for a wideout since 2016.
