Chicago Bears continue to stockpile wins after Week 7 vs. Saints | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
POSTSEASON, RIGHT? THE PATRIOTS ARE HEADED THAT WAY AT 5 AND 2. THE CHICAGO BEARS ARE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THEY’RE 4 AND 2. THEY BEAT THE SAINTS AND THIS WAS THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR GETTING REVENGE AND I DON’T, I MEAN, IS IT REALLY REVENGE LIKE MIKE VRABEL DIDN’T DESERVE TO BE FIRED. YEAH, DENNIS ALLEN EARNED HIS EXIT FROM THE SAINTS. I DON’T THINK ANYBODY WAS LIKE OH HE GOT ROBBED, THEY WERE THEY IN A FREE FALL LAST YEAR, HE HAD BEEN THE COACH SINCE SEAN PAYTON HAD LEFT. THEY HAD BEEN JUST KIND OF LOST IN A DRIFT. THIS WASN’T HE WAS DONE WRONG RIGHT BY THE SAINTS. BUT STILL, IT’S THE FAMILIARITY. IT’S JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING. IT’S A LITTLE, A LITTLE EXTRA, IT’S A LITTLE PLUS AND, AND YOU, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS, IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU SAY THERE. I MEAN, HE FEELS LIKE HE’S BEEN DONE WRONG. HE’S GOING WAIT, I TOOK OVER FOR SEAN PAYTON. WE DIDN’T OUR OUR SALARY CAP WAS AN ISSUE. WE HAD THIS OLD FOOTBALL TEAM DIDN’T SHOOT EVERY KID, RIGHT, RIGHT. SO CHANCE. SAID, THEY COULD BE SAYING, I SITUATION WAS MESSED UP SO I CAN UNDERSTAND I’M BEING A LITTLE BIT BITTER. UH, BUT, BUT REGARDLESS, THE BEARS CONTINUE TO STOCKPILE WINS AND YESTERDAY WAS THE RUN GAME. THAT WAS THE BIG THING. CALEB WILLIAMS, THE PASS GAME. THEY CONTROLLED THE GAME EARLY ON, BUT LIKE THE SAINTS DID A GOOD JOB OF FORCING FIELD GOALS FROM THE BEARS TO WHERE THEY KIND OF HUNG AROUND AND THE SAINTS. WE KNOW CAN BE EXPLOSIVE AND MAKE SOME BIG PLAYS WITH A LAVE AND JAWAN JOHNSON AND RASHEED SHAHID, RIGHT? SO, IT INTERESTING AT 1 POINT BUT THEN THE BEARS GOT BACK TO IT, FOUND THE RUN GAME AGAIN AND MADE SOME BIG PLAYS THERE AND THEY PUT THE SAINTS AWAY AND A GAME WHERE YOU FELT LIKE THE BEARS CONTROLLED IT. BUT YET THE SAINTS HAD A CHANCE TO, TO KIND OF TAKE CONTROL OF THE GAME TOO, IN THE THIRD QUARTER, IT WAS 1 OF THOSE. WHEN YOU’RE WATCHING 67 GAMES AT ONCE YOU DEVELOP A ROUGH CONCLUSION THAT, OKAY, THAT 1’S OVER. SO, I’M GOING TO PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE OTHER ONES AND THEN YOU DRIFT BACK AND IT’S LIKE HEY WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT’S GOING ON? THIS GAME IS STILL COMPETITIVE. SO YOU KNOW, THE SAINTS AS YOU’VE SAID, ARE 1 OF THE 5. NOW, 1 AND 6 TEAM YOU’VE EVER SEEN. YEAH THEY ARE. THERE ARE TREMENDOUS DOLPHINS THAT THE SAINTS HAVE HOPE EVERY GAME, THE DOLPHINS GOT BLOWN OUT YESTERDAY IN CLEVELAND, BUT THE BEARS ARE LOOKING GOOD. THEY ARE NOW WINNERS OF 4 IN A ROW, THE SCENES FROM THE LOCKER ROOM, THE CHANT THAT THEY HAVE WITH BEN JOHNSON IN THE PLAYERS, YOU CAN TELL THE PLAYERS RESPOND TO THEM. THE PLAYERS REALLY LIKE HIM. THE PLAYERS REALLY LIKE DENNIS ALLEN AND YOU, YOU GET BUY INTO A NEW NEW COACHING STAFF. THE SOONER YOU WIN THE SOONER THE PLAYERS LIKE OH NOW WE KNOW WHY WE’RE DOING THIS THIS OR THIS, IT WORKS, AND IT’S WORKING AND THE BEARS ARE LOOKING PRETTY GOOD. YEAH, DENNIS ALICE D. GOT 3. INTERCEPTIONS IN THE FOOTBALL GAME. THEY HAD A FOURTH AND 1, WHERE THEY GOT AN INTERCEPTION WITH A GAME WAS KIND OF STILL IN THE GAME. SO TEAM WIN FOR THEM AND THEY CONTINUE TO GO IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. IN CHICAGO, DEANDRE SWIFT, BY THE WAY, 19 CARRIES 124 YARDS. I MEAN, HE IS 1 OF THE TOUGHEST HARD-NOSED RUNNERS POUND-FOR-POUND PROBABLY 1 OF THE TOUGHEST GUYS IN ALL OF FOOTBALL. AGREED, JUST KEEPS GOING AND GETS GETS HAMMERED AND KEEPS GOING. HE HITS THE HOLE HARD AND THEN THEY GOT LITTLE KYLE MANUNGA. RIGHT? WHO COMES IN FROM RUCKERS, HE’S A LITTLE BIT OF A SLEDGEHAMMER THAT WAY ADDS A LITTLE BIT OF A POWER ELEMENT TO THEM. THEY GOT WEAPONS ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE OF THE BALL AND I DON’T EVEN THINK THEY’VE FIGURED OUT THAT OFFENSE, TOTALLY YET AS THEY’RE LEARNING UNDER

Stockpiling wins against tomato cans lmao
Feels good getting wins despite not playing your best. BEAR DOWN
You are what your record says. Big tuna
It's been a while since the Bears could control a game simply w/ their defense & running game. Caleb's still learning, but this win showed the good coaching this team has gotten overall & how players r buying into the schemes on both sides of the ball.
Some people are saying Ben Johnson is gonna expose Dan Campbell Chicago is going to be on top of that division real soon not Detroit lions.
Saints just sucked, it wasn't a Dennis Allen problem. Loomis and Payton ran that team into the ground trying to keep the old roster. Then injuries on top of that. No coach is gonna win there for a long time… They are still doing it too. Trying to win with what they have lol.
One thing I can say about these two they like the bears and they always wanted to see them win. Thanks Mike and Chris. Bears down
The crazy part is they're winning in spite of Caleb.
Bro said 6-7 games at once lol
"when u watch 67 games at once…" Smh.
That was a terrible football game. Johnson was not happy at all, and good for him. The Bears need a lot of work. Only good thing was the Saints were worse.
They had no chance to come back
Dennis Allen was coaching a terrible team. He is better than some current head coaches.
Let’s be honest. The saints are still a bad football team.
Bears fan here. This is what this town would call winning ugly. But it was a game that the Bears used to lose. Not pretty whatsoever but a win nonetheless. I’ll take it.
These guys have always been fair 🙏🏽
