The 49ers remain atop the NFC hierarchy with a 9-4 record, continuing their dominance over weaker opponents. More intriguingly, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni's bold decision to go for two points after a touchdown in a one-point game has sparked debate.
From an analytical standpoint, going for two is a mathematically sound choice, especially considering the team's kicker had missed a previous PAT attempt. However, critics argue that the human element of a team's mindset plays a role in such decisions. A more apt analogy might be playing blackjack - staying on 13 with the dealer showing a face card, rather than risking busting by hitting.
In other NFC news, the Bears improved to 9-3 with their Tush Push against Jalen Hurts, while the Packers' Micah Parsons continues his impressive form with six sacks in his last three games. The Seahawks' defense had a stellar performance on Sunday, forcing five takeaways and four sacks against the Vikings.
Lastly, the Eagles' offense remains a concern for many, as coach Nick Sirianni's team struggled to find its footing after the failed two-point conversion attempt. The Bears' lengthy drive featuring multiple Monangai runs for 31 yards has echoes of the Eagles' uncreative play-calling from earlier in the season.

... it's like trying to hit a home run with no power in your swing! The math says go for it, but sometimes you gotta consider what's gonna happen when you miss 
. I also think it's interesting how teams are starting to find their footing, like the Bears' drive was a great example of just grinding out yards and wearing down the opposing team 
. But yeah, that Eagles offense still needs some work, can't have them giving away games with uncreative plays all the time...
! Comparing it to blackjack is such a great analogy btw 
. I'm intrigued by how much attention this decision is getting though 
... either way, I love the drama and suspense in the NFL 
What I'd do is take a closer look at their team's psyche and see if they're really that confident in their kicker to make it 
. Like, come on guys, don't you think there's more to football than just numbers? And btw, who needs creative play-calling when you can just run Monangai 31 times in a row and not get anything done?
