a year with how physical he is on the field. always seems to make an impact when it counts, though. all right. here's another story lines. keep an eye on in the game. bears quarterback justin fields was in the same draft as lance and he may have a little something special planned for the team that passed on him in the 2021. nfl draft. some people thought fields might be a good fit for the niners, but they took lance and fields went 11 overall to chicago. the former ohio state star has said he carries no grudge with any of the teams that passed on him. but his favorite target wide receiver darnell mooney has a different opinion. >> it's going to blossom is going to know who everything that everybody got him especially we go on the team passed on him. so. they're going to have to pay a little bit for that. haven't talked to them about it, he knows for sure the i'm pretty sure he has that. is my year in the league. not your job. now. execute and i love you, you know, and >> it is what it is. but at

road onto field. today he defended his teammates on their lack of run support. >> we're the 100 and kind and gentle laden. it's from the show it. they're doing? i think, you truth of the ball really when he came around score some runs. and we're here to my first report turn. >> so that's just about 3 weeks left in the regular season. giants are all but mathematically eliminated from the wild card race there, 10 and a half games back. it's just not a great time to be a san francisco giants fan. not the thanks, kate. little beach and it's not impossible not impossible. thanksgiving. coming next, gerri, looking for something active to do this weekend. how about a little running? >> when tell you town, half marathon for the first time since the pandemic.
