00:00But Joe, here the Bears are for a second consecutive week, welcoming in a divisional foe. This
00:09time it's the Minnesota Vikings. And the Bears are a home underdog at Soldier Field once
00:16again, getting three and a half points. Joe, we got a joke about this last week. We did
00:21not expect the firing of an offensive coordinator to provide the interim bump that the dismissal
00:27of a head coach can, but it kind of did. Will it carry over for a second consecutive week
00:34in the Windy City? I don't listen. I like what I saw with him. I mean, uh, Thomas Brown
00:41now calling for Caleb Williams. He averaged, I believe, uh, close to six and a half yards
00:46per pass play there in that game. I thought he did really, really well. I thought the
00:52reads were good. I thought the play action was good. Um, there was nothing that I saw
00:58in that game to lead me to believe, oh boy, you know, Shane Waldron's gone. Oh, what are
01:03we going to do? Even the offensive line was a little bit better there. Uh, DJ Moore had,
01:09uh, what, seven receptions in his first, uh, first time with the new play caller. So yeah,
01:15I think there is absolutely a lot to be positive with. And on the flip side, I'm sorry, Ben,
01:21uh, if it wasn't for 13 penalties for 91 yards and seven free first downs, which is what
01:29the Tennessee Titans gave Minnesota and Sam Donald in that game, they don't win that game.
01:35They had a touchdown call back Tennessee because of a penalty. Uh, there was nothing impressive
01:41about what I saw again on the road with Minnesota last week against Tennessee. I am not banking
01:48on them going to Chicago here with an opportunity to do the same thing plus late more than a
01:53field goal. I don't think so. I think the bears are very much alive and well, and I
01:59do think that they've got an opportunity to win this game outright.
