The debut episode of the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast is live!

In this week’s episode, Luis, Matt, and I discuss Ben Johnson’s first victory as an NFL head coach, which ironically came with former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus standing on the opposite sideline on Sunday at Soldier Field.

We also discussed Williams’s performance—arguably his best single-game performance of his young career—where he stands on the season, whether or not we should call him a good quarterback versus a good quarterback prospect, unsung heroes on the defense, and the subpar rushing attack.

After dishing out some game balls for the Week 3 victory over Dallas, we discussed Chicago’s trip to Vegas next weekend, the possibility of the Bears heading into the bye week 2-2, and how we should feel about that if it happens.

You can listen to Episode 1 anywhere you get your podcasts, including Apple and Spotify, but we’ve also embedded the YouTube recording right here for your convenience!
