It’s another Victory Monday for the Chicago Bears—making the team 2-0 since the BN Bears Podcast launched—after they topped the Raiders 25-24 in Las Vegas on Sunday.

In this week’s episode, Luis, Matt, and I discuss Ben Johnson’s intensity and how his team took the form of its head coach in a game where not much went right, helping them even their record at 2-2 heading into the bye week.

We also discussed Caleb Williams’s performance, which included a go-ahead and eventual game-winning touchdown drive in the final two minutes at Allegiant Stadium, and his knack for succeeding in the clutch during his time in Chicago.

Also in this week’s episode:

• Week 3 Game Balls

• Theo Benedet and Ozzy Trapillo working on the offensive line.

• Rome Odunze’s hot start.

• D’Andre Swift’s not-so-hot start

• Plenty more!

You can listen to Episode 2 anywhere you get your podcasts, including Apple and Spotify, but we’ve also embedded the YouTube recording right here for your convenience!
