00:00This was the one game that I thought was a wrap.

00:02I thought the Packers would take care of the Bears.

00:05Not going into the game, I had no idea.

00:07But once it was 21-3, I was like, okay, that's it.

00:10Second half, again, the Bears go bananas

00:13and end up picking up another win.

00:16No matter what happens,

00:17they're playing with house money at this point,

00:1831-27.

00:21Ben Johnson, what a job he has done with this team.

00:23And on the flip side,

00:25I know the Packers played probably as poor

00:27as they have in years down the stretch.

00:30Yeah, I think what happened is the Packers got stale.

00:33They didn't try to change their game plan for the first half.

00:36And Dennis Allen really did a great job

00:39of making it hard for Jordan Love

00:41to make those big plays downfield

00:42that were very easy in the first half.

00:44And that's the problem with the Packers.

00:46They are kind of a big play receiving offense

00:48without really a tight end threat with Tucker Craft on.

00:51So if you can contain those big plays,

00:53I think the Bears realized that playing a little bit more zone.

00:56It was tough for the Packers to move the ball.

00:58And then the other side is the Bears.

01:00If you look at it,

01:01I know they didn't run the ball a ton

01:03when they were trying to come back,

01:04but they ran the ball enough

01:05where they stuck it where the Packers,

01:07you're scratching your head.

01:09Why did they run a little bit more in the second half?

01:11Especially when they had those two long first downs

01:14on their last drive.

01:15Work the clock a little bit,

01:17get a little closer.

01:18You gave way too much time.

01:20You made a very low percentage field goal attempt

01:22given how bad your kicker's been.

01:24And so I think situationally Ben Johnson is a great coach

01:27and they just need to be ahead by one point in the end.

01:31That's the bottom line.

01:32It doesn't matter how you start,

01:33how the first half goes.

01:35They're just looking at,

01:36can we beat the other team?

01:38So the Bears are kind of like this.

01:40Statistically, not great against the run,

01:41not great against the pass,

01:43do not pass consistently,

01:45but they seem to have a second gear

01:48in that second half that other teams do not have.

01:51And that's testament to Ben Johnson's coaching

01:52and really Caleb Williams' makeup.

01:55That guy never gets down too much

01:57even when they're really behind.

01:59And that's what you saw again in that game.
