Summary

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson spoke at Halas Hall on Monday and left nothing to the imagination when it came to how the team will be approaching their final regular season game against the Detroit Lions saying, “we’re playing to win.” Should the Bears be playing their starters against Johnson’s former employer? Later, we dive into the numbers with Caleb’s report card for a sterling Week 17 performance against the San Francisco 49ers. How did he grade out? Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs is now a free agent. Should the Bears pursue the former Al Harris disciple? And former Bears QB and single-season record holder for the most passing yards by a Bears QB Eric Kramer joins the show to preview the game where Caleb Williams will likely break his record. Is 4,00 pass yards still in reach? Join Adam Hoge, Mark Carman and Greg Braggs Jr. on a jam-packed episode of the CHGO Bears Podcast! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
