00:00And man, it just continues to be heartbreak in the Windy City.

00:08Delivered by the most bitter of rivals in the Green Bay Packers.

00:12You give them just a little bit of hope and life to rip it out of their chests.

00:17Courtesy of a blocked field goal at the buzzer for a second consecutive week.

00:22This time from Green Bay's Carl Brooks.

00:26As the Packers hold on to win at Soldier Field 20-19.

00:32Chicago does cover as a five-and-a-half point favorite.

00:36But when Cairo Santos lined up for a 46-yard field goal as time was expiring

00:43to hopefully give the Bears their first win over the bitter rivals

00:47and their hated foes of the Packers since 2018,

00:51it seemed like it was going to happen for it only to come crashing down

00:57in another heartbreaking and gut-wrenching defeat in Chicago.

01:03DRS, a very difficult day for the Bears.

01:07Yeah, it wasn't difficult for me. 16-and-a-half points.

01:10Cha-ching. Loved everything I saw from the Bears yesterday.

01:12Could care less if they won, but let's get to the real issue here.

01:15You made the offensive change, or excuse me, you made the coordinator change for your offense.

01:18Caleb Williams was very good yesterday. 23 of 31 measured, 231 in the air.

01:22Didn't throw a touchdown pass, but how about the QBR rating?

01:25An 83, which is sensational. A passion rating of 95.

01:28And we know he's ultra-athletic, and he made some great plays with his legs.

01:32Nine carries for 70 yards, which he also got a home run touchdown of 39 yards

01:36for DeAndre Swift, who he finished with 14 for 71.

01:39That's got to be good enough to beat the Green Bay Packers.

01:41But shout out making the most of your opportunities.

01:4413 completions for Jordan Love equated to 261 passing yards and one touchdown.

01:50Jacobs added 76 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

01:52But how many times do we say, and I know you can always second-guess coaches here,

01:56if you're playing for a field goal, Ben, where you're at the 15-yard line,

02:00we all understand that. But anything can happen when you're playing with field goals

02:04of 40-plus yards to end the football game.

02:06And also, if you're worried about handing the football off to a talented runnerback

02:10like DeAndre Swift and saying, well, he might fumble the football,

02:13what are we doing in the first place here?

02:15They still should have made the field goal, absolutely.

02:17But put your team in the best possible position to win these football games.

02:22I don't think the Bears did that. They made the field goal.

02:24We wouldn't say anything about it. But the fact of the matter is, Ben,

02:26he didn't make the field goal. He got it blocked.

02:28So now we're allowed the second guess, Matt Eberfluss,

02:31of how long he's going to be able to keep his job.

02:33That was a big win against a rival that you had nailed and you let it get away.
