That would be one form of a "break" to help us out.

We've been on the right side of that sort of thing for a long time now. Just one example, for the SB, SF was missing Hufanga, their best S, Greenlaw went down, Deebo got dinged, one of their better CBs got hurt, etc. And when we played them a couple weeks ago, same thing; no Hufanga, no Greenlaw, etc.

Iirc, LAC was down several key starters including an OT.

NOR had to start Rattler. Several of their starting OLs have been out. Taysom Hill couldn't go.

And this week TB, the top offense in the league, is without both their starting WRs, and on defense they're without their CB2, CB3, best coverage LBs . . .

It's not rocket science how we've been struggling to put points up, but keep winning one-score games vs. some of the 'top' offensive teams in the league.
