Over the past 3 weeks, Christian Benford is quite literally the ONLY player on the defense occasionally making splash plays.
OF COURSE it was going to be be him.
Oh yeah, Bosa had that one play too. And we saw what happened to him.
Listen, at the end of the day, ASSUMING WE MAKE THE PLAYOFFS, I'd rather have these key players fresh off a few weeks of getting their bodies right (especially since we aren't getting the 1 seed) than being in a position where we get to play teams like KC at home for once.......... but are forced to sign AJ Klein off the street just to field 11 players on defense.
We'll see how it goes. But as far as Bosa, I'm telling you man, I said it before the hammy injury even happened, that I'd rather we let the guy get a few weeks to heal up that wrist, so I wasn't that mad about the hamstring injury; it may be a blessing in disguise.
Again, the key is to make the playoffs, with whatever dang 22 we gotta do it with, and hope that we find ourselves in a position where some of these guys are back for the playoffs (and don't all get hurt in the first round... like what happened against Pittsburgh once, and I think Miami too).
Have to think bigger picture. We've been down this road too many times not to.
