It's hard to see the positives.What if anything can be done? Todd and Jerry discuss it all.

Brock Purdy look really good (350+ yards passing). Jake Moody looked really bad (3 missed FGs).We saw the return of CMC and it was impressive. He could be the spark plug needed for the stretch drive, not only in the red zone, but his receiving ability was in full display.George Kittle might be having the best season of his career.And even with all of that, it took a monster effort from Juaun Jennings to get into FG range for Moody to hit the game winner as time expired.It was survive and advance to play the Seahawks this coming week.
