Summary

After winning their 4th-straight game, the Chicago Bears now sit at 4-2 on the season. If the playoffs today, the Bears would be out of the playoffs in 8th place in the NFC (Lions and Seahawks play Monday night). So are Ben Johnson’s Bears contenders or pretenders? Later, we discuss Dennis Allen receiving the game ball from Johnson. Just how much did that game mean to Allen? Later, Professor Briggs is back with his grades. The defense generated 4 takeaways. Is that enough to receive an A+? Join Adam Hoge, Mark Carman and Lance Briggs on the CHGO Bears Podcast! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
