Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams addresses the viral controversy with Troy Aikman after the Bears’ nail-biting 25-24 win over the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football.

| 0:07.7 | Dan Bernstein Unfiltered, as always presented in partnership with my bookie. |
| 0:14.7 | I'm Dan Bernstein. |
| 0:15.5 | That is Matt Abatacola. |
| 0:17.4 | And today we have to talk about the bear's response to the ongoing silliness that continues to occur based on something somebody said on television. |
| 0:27.6 | I just want to be sure it has nothing to do with what actually happens on the field. |
| 0:30.8 | It was just something that somebody said into a microphone on television that is now rising to a level that is it is absolutely |
| 0:40.5 | silly and I hope it's over I hope that's it and we're done with it and we can move along |

| 0:52.8 | end of seasoned post-mortem where he takes every question |

| 1:34.2 | Because I just, I was a little concerned about what I heard if that makes any sense. |
| 1:41.3 | Maybe I shouldn't be. |
| 1:42.6 | Maybe I'm reading too much into it because I've been fairly accused of |
| 1:47.3 | that before and maybe this is one of these cases. But let's please, please, please let yesterday's |
| 1:53.0 | comments by Caleb Williams be the end of this very, very silly and stupid chapter in this Chicago |
| 2:00.1 | Bear season. |
| 2:06.2 | Also, near the end of the show, we have a radioactive shrimp update for you. |
