00:00And as you may or may not have heard in our sports update, Jalen Johnson, the lone pro bowler for the Bears.

00:06Meantime, in the division, in the mighty NFC North, there are five Vikings, there are seven Lions, there are three Packers,

00:14and I think that is perfectly indicative of how good this division has gotten and the fact that the Bears have won,

00:20that they have not done their part in this NFC North baldy.

00:24How far away do you think the Bears are now from those three other teams in the NFC North?

00:32Well, I mean, a long ways away. All three of those teams have excellent offense lines.

00:38The Vikings lost an all-pro left tackle midway through the season.

00:42Literally two days later, they traded for a starting left tackle in Cam Robinson, and they haven't really skipped much of a beat.

00:48All those teams can run the football. All those teams have stability at the head coaching position, at the offensive coordinator position,

01:04None of them have any stability at the head coach or the offensive playing position, coordinator position.
