This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Good Morning Football is a production of the NFL in partnership with IHeart Radio. Welcome to Good Morning Football, everybody. We are brought to you by Old Trapper Beef Jerky. As always, it's Wednesday, October 15th, Jamie Erdall, Manciteo here in L.A., Kyle Brandt, Mike Girofalo in New York City. Busy hour happening now on GMFB, Kyle. We got a couple of topics specifically within the NFC that we need to discuss, right? We do, yeah. There's all kinds of teams all over the place in the NFC. And we're having a question coming up in a few minutes, I think, about athletes from yesteryear that you want to tell your children about. And my brain's in a pretzel about this. There's so many. And sometimes there's some that you might, it might be that person. And you're like, oh, but they did that one thing at the end of the career. It's a tough one to choose. You know what I'm saying? So we'll get into it shortly. This is what we do here in Good Morning Football, Living, Breathing Show as it goes on.

Let's start it goes on.

Let's start it right now.

Welcome to Good Morning Football, presented by Old Trapper.

That's right. GMFB, Jamie Manti, Mike G, and Kyle.

Listen up.

It's Monday night.

There were two games.

That was the conclusion of week six.

Thursday night tomorrow would be the start of week seven, which means Kyle, we're between six, seven right now. Hey! Let's go. All right. I'm into that. I love that it's week six, seven. My kid says it all the time. My 11-year-old says it's not cool to say anymore because people like us are saying it. But then he still starts saying it. You know what I'm looking forward to? Jamie, I know it's week six slash seven. I've already been thinking about this. I'm looking forward to week 14 when we are going to potentially have some six and seven teams because they've played 13 games and they're six and seven and like people can just go nuts. Imagine if the New York Giants are six and seven because they have like Mr. Young Guy, Jackson Dart who does everything cool. Like I'm way into that. Yeah. What's so great about our show is there are about six to seven seconds between the code open and this. And within those six to seven seconds, Jamie says, I got something. Are you ready, Man Thai to respond? And she came up with that within those six to seven seconds. Wasn't my idea. It came from somebody younger than me. Here we go. We got two topics to get to on GMFB. We'll start with the Chicago Bears within the NFC North. The Bears picked up their

third straight win on Monday night. But Chicago's offense received some criticism during the broadcast,

particularly from Troy Aikman.

Bears fans were up in arms about this, which means that the press corps in Chicago had to ask their head coach,

Ben Johnson, about Aikman's remarks.

Saw you said somewhere today that you caught a little bit of the TV copy of the second half.

Did the tone of coming from the color analyst there surprise you?

Maybe I just had it on mute.

It sounded like you heard some of what they said.

No, no.

No, listen, you want respect in this league, you got to go earn it.

And so that's where we're at right now.

We need to go earn that respect from not only the rest of the teams in the NFL, but everybody. So that's where we are. You know what I like about Ben Johnson? First of all, he really thinks about his answers and his words. And everyone's adopted this thing that he does. Like when he played against the Lions, he goes their quarterback. He wouldn't even say Jared Goff's name. Now that reporter is like the color analyst, someone on the football. he can say Aikman's name, can't you? Well, he said what he said. The bears also have accomplished what they have. That's three straight wins. It matters. Now, let's look at the bears. Mansai, when you inspect this, when you inspect the last couple weeks for Chicago, what does this mean to you if the bears are now at three
