Summary

The Chicago Bears have begun their NFL Week 15 prep for the Cleveland Browns. Ben Johnson spoke on Wednesday at Halas Hall about the importance of winning this game, saying the team “needs” it. At 9-4 on the season, is this a must-win game? Kevin Byard also spoke today about the Bears not viewing this as a ‘trap game.’ And Caleb Williams isn’t phased by his interception in the closign seconds to the Green Bay Packers, saying he expects to make that play 9 out of 10 times. Adam Hoge joins from Halas Hall to discuss the main takeaways from today’s press conferences. Plus, who is the most important impending free agent defensive back on the Bears to retain? Has Nahshon Wright made himself a must-have on the team next year? Join Adam Hoge, Mark Carman and Greg Braggs Jr. on the CHGO Bears Podcast. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Yeah, Ben Johnson's saying they're desperate for a win. Remember, it's a can't lose.

It's a can't lose week. I like the mentality. I get why everyone's talking about the idea of this

being a trap game. I generally agree with Kevin Byard that I don't want to say there's no such

thing in the NFL, but I don't think it's as big of a factor as, you know, the lower levels of football like high school or college football.

1:34.1

I think there is a little bit of that from a human nature perspective.

1:37.1

And I think that is why sometimes you do see surprising results in the NFL.

1:41.4

But I think more times than not those surprising results are because the margins between the best team and the worst team are really not as significant
