The Crabby run on the fake FG was superb. What an awesome call there!
I have to admit that I was in the nervous camp going into this game, as the stakes were so incredibly high. At least they were in my eyes. I would have hated dropping into SEA 0-2. My hat is off to AJ Hawk who really played an inspired game. Good to see from him. He is really important for setting the tone of our D, and he proved to play well stuffing the run, dropping back in coverage, and rushing Cutler.
How about that? 28 rushes for 106 and a 3.8 yd average. Man, is THAT great to see, against what I consider to be a really good run defense in CHI. While we had some pretty big miscues, with Finley's fumble, Jone's breaking off the route for the pick, Rodgers' throw over the middle for the pick, and Shields' making contact on the punt - we were fortunate those didn't come back to bite us too bad. Our team played well enough to offset those miscues and come out with the WIN. Nice to see Worthy make his presence known. Mathews & Raji were awesome, and ripped their interior to shreds. The entire secondary was stellar. Stellar!
Kudos too to our STs. Crosby scoring on 48, 35 & 54 yd FGs was just what we needed. Our return coverage was pretty good too. How about that pop by Kuuuuuuuuhn?!!!
Great game, and super significant. Now, we roll to SEA with a boatload of confidence.
