- #Bears CB Jaylon Johnson with a mic drop moment. “I’m done buying into the hype…everything that we got in this locker room-it sounds good, it seems good., but at the end of the day, none of that matters, what matters is what we’re going to do this weekend.”
- #Bears CB Jaylon Johnson asked about his “mind set” going into the Packers game: “Fuck ‘em. That’s how I’m feeling. I’m going to try to go out with a bang…”
- #Bears CB Jaylon Johnson flipped off the Lambeau Field crowd on the way out, and here's why: "They were talking mess on my way out, it's like, injured player--I don't think that was right, but I gotta do better too with the reaction."
- #Bears CB Kyler Gordon on the hiring of Ben Johnson: “That was my number one. I’m happy to have him here. I like his mentality. I like everything he says so far. Happy.”
- #Bears CB Tyrique Stevenson on the desperation throw Will Levis made on the pick 6. “If he’s going to make dumb decisions like that, we’re going to make him pay for it.”
- #Bears DE Montez Sweat on loss to Packers. (The most down he’s been) “Couple of these things that’s just been happening this year like it’s never happened to me in my career. It’s happening multiple times within a year is kind of crazy.” Full audio on TakeTheNorth Pod later.
- #Bears DC Eric Washington told us that Montez Sweat addressed the offensive line about how he sees protection concepts. “I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that in my 17 years.”
- Well, crap. The Lions just won half time too. Shaboozey playing that one song.
00:00 - Both DJ Moore and Keenan Allen said they were surprised HC Matt Eberflus did not call a time out after the late sack on Caleb Williams.
- #Bears HC Matt Eberflus says he’s never been part of a team that voted a rookie to be captain. Caleb Williams is now his exception.
- The #Bears Cole Kmet being named the NFC special teams player of the week is both awesome and hilarious.
- #Bears will be back in full pads Sunday. I think Caleb Williams is poised to make a jump this week. I saw it Saturday. His vision and release looked terrific.
