Summary

Hoge & Jahns are back with the latest Chicago Bears news, including updates on the team’s stadium plans and the continued developments in Indiana. Then, Nate Tice joins the show for an in-depth breakdown of Caleb Williams’ Year 2 leap and how his partnership with Ben Johnson is built to last, featuring some of the most impressive throws in the NFL this season. The guys also discuss how Johnson is maximizing explosive plays and why he represents the future of the Bears offense. Later, they dive into Super Bowl talk, including Nate’s early belief in Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. The show wraps with Joe Thuney being named an NFL Protector of the Year finalist and a conversation about the new feature on Peanut Tillman, his remarkable life story, and why he deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame, before Hoge & Jahns sign off ahead of their Super Bowl coverage next week.
