Chargers

Chargers held the Ravens to 10 points until that infamous 4th and 29 conversion.

Nine SD defensive players were injured in the game. NINE. Question: And how is this Turner’s fault?

Falcons

The Falcons host the beat-up Saints at home Thursday. They only rank 23rd against the run but limited TB “superstar” Martin and TB to 50 yards or 2 per carry in the weak as water NFC South. TB is rated the “best” rush D giving up only 82 ypg, 9 better than the Niners. Call that a political stat – it sounds good until you learn that TB’s passing D is dead last. The clean-shirted Falcons will only play one game outside a dome the rest of the season. Question:: Who did they bribe to get this schedule?

Rams

Janoris Jenkins lit up the Cardinals with two pick TDs against their lottery quarterback, the famous Ryan Lindley. When I say “lottery” I’m talking about my quick pick winnings. Question: How long before Janoris celebrates his new fame by lighting up?

Niners

Question: How does a team with the best rushing O and, by many scribes, the best O line get, what, 5 holding calls while the maligned Saints line, which has nightmares of sack artists at every turn, see hankies stay in the pocket?

Bears

Some of the wisest observers, okay me, watched Monday’s game and predicted the Bears would whiff the remaining games thanks to a ragtag O line . Against the Vikes, Cutler was sacked once for five yards. And this, the Bears lost BOTH starting guards. Question: Are the Niners this good or are most of the teams this bad? Bonus question: How is Cutler not the MVP in a landslide?

Okay: Let's hear your Niner World Mystery of Week 12.
