Welcome to this week's edition of the Better Rivals podcast.

My name is Oscar Op.

And this week, can the 49ers bear another loss?

They travel to Chicago and bump offensive uglies against another struggling team.

And with me this week, vindicated in his 2015 pass interference strategy, it's David Newman.

Look, sometimes you can just throw it up.

It's going to be fine.

I remember, so there was a tweet that I saw today from Tori Smith.

And someone, I guess, had plotted out the, I forget if it was like yards or EPA or something,

was something gained based on past interference penalties alone.

And Tori Smith was the outlier, the extreme outlier. And I remember very vividly in

2015 talking about the addition of Tori Smith to the 49ers and David Newman's stump speech

for Tori Smith was, look, just throw it up. He's either going to catch it or he's going to get

past interference. And like, and it doesn't catch it. Just's going to get past interference.

And like, and if it doesn't catch it, just throw it up.

Yeah.

You know?

And I remember you being very animated about just throwing it up to Tori Smith and the Niners, you know, did not.

You know what?

We're still, we're still looking for someone to just throw it up deep every once in a while.

You know what?

It took, it took six years, but we're here.
