Welcome into another edition of the Under Center podcast here on NBC Sports Chicago.

I'm JJ Stankovits, joined by John Moon Mullen.

We are full from celebrating the holidays over the last couple days.

I'm still recovering from my red-eye flight back from San Francisco and drive tuned from

Indianapolis. But Moon, you're also recovering from shoulder surgery, so I think you might

have it a little worse than I do. I don't know. Red-eye flight, you probably still got sand

under the eyelage. You can't quite blink, right, and so forth. So, yeah, I mean, nice to have

the holidays. Good to have them and good to have them done and so forth. So yeah, I mean, nice to have the holidays. Good to have them

and good to have them done and so forth. So hope everybody had a good one. Yeah, and if you're

listening to this while traveling, hopefully you have safe travels to wherever you're going, back

from wherever you're going. We got some bears stuff to talk about today. The bears are one week

away from the playoffs. One more game to go against the Minnesota Vikings.

And the Bears still have a chance at a buy.

It's only about a 10% chance if you listen to football outsiders.

The Bears need the Rams to lose to the 49ers over the weekend,

and the bears also have to concurrently beat the Vikings.

So I want to just kind of start with this.

If you're looking ahead and you're the Bears and you get into, say, you get into

halftime, you get into the locker room and you're Matt Nagy and you, you know, someone,

you know, taps you on the shoulder and says, hey, LA is beating San Francisco 28 to

nothing and your game is, say, 10 to 10 at halftime.

What do you do? Do you tell these guys, okay, you know what? We're punting this.
