00:00That was an all-timer for weirdness sake.

00:03Very strange game.

00:05There was some encouraging stuff that happened inside of it.

00:08Watching Caleb Williams work through the end of the game

00:12and then fight their way back into it, pushing into overtime.

00:15I think there's something positive to take,

00:18but there's so many negatives.

00:20And yeah, you got the special teams play that allowed you to get the ball back,

00:23but you also gave up 10 points on special teams today

00:27because of a fumble and because of another blocked field goal.

00:31Something that you would think in their talks about details

00:34would be figured out by now.

00:36But the book is out and people know how to attack the Bears.

00:40It was good to see them make the switch and put Darnell right in there,

00:44but I feel like that's something that probably should have happened

00:47this week leading into the game.

00:49The other part is, defensively, they struggled.

00:52If you look at the day, they had three players that had great days.

00:57Like Aaron Jones was fantastic.

00:59Averaged over five yards of carry inside this game.

01:02Jordan Addison seemed unstoppable at times.

01:05And TJ Hawkinson was the closer for the Vikings.

01:09So, if you look at this game, there are positives

01:12and I do think that you should walk away with some positives

01:15on the playmaking ability of Caleb Williams.

01:18But overall, this seemed like another game where,

01:22whether it was penalties, ineffective play,

01:25bad strategy, bad clock management,

01:28that you just kind of throw up your hands and say,

01:31exactly what is it that we're doing here?

01:34And what you're seeing is the Bears lose five games in a row.

01:37And they've earned every one of those losses.

01:40Spiegs is out tomorrow.

01:41Laila is in.

01:42We got you.

01:43Spiego at home is two to six.

01:45Make sure you don't miss any of the score,

01:47but especially afternoon show, we are going to have ourselves a time.
