Dinner is served 🍽️

Adam Sandler, what are you doing here?

When D'Andre Swift sucks: "Man, D'Andre Swift SUCKS" When D'Andre Swift is really good: "Shoutout Ben Johnson and this Bears o-line for really figuring things out."

The 49ers coaching staff is doing the best job in the league and completely outclassed the Falcon’s Did we actually learn anything about Bo Nix this week? Not really Ben Johnson continues to put his stamp on the Bears

Biggest fantasy busts this season in terms of difference in positional preseason ADP and rank in PPR points per game (top-36 RB/WR, top-15 QB/TE): QB: Kyler Murray (QB11 ADP, QB22 rank) RB: Kaleb Johnson (RB30, RB91) WR: Jerry Jeudy (WR36, WR70) TE: Colston Loveland (TE14, TE50)

Great stuff from Colston Loveland here. DJ Moore, too.

Bears DBs coach Al Harris set the bar for takeaways at 4 per game. The offense has similar benchmarks, according to rookie Kyle Monangai, who is trying to hit the goal set by running backs coach Eric Bieniemy each game. Monangai: "You’ll hear E.B. say all the time, ‘Find four and a half' (yards per carry). He’s not too concerned with everything number-wise or big picture. He just says whatever play we’re on is the most important, and if the ball’s in your hand, you’ve got to find four and a half."

Fake jet sweep with a fake RB run towards the sweep turns into wind back Bears are 5th in the league in explosive play rate. A lot of it is schemed up.

Who is this D'Andre Swift, cutting back and back up into a messy picture of 5 yards?

Congrats to Taylor and Lori on ringing the bell! 👏

.@JaquanBrisker is speaking with the press

Bears head coach Ben Johnson said they'll know more Wednesday about the statuses of Tyrique Stevenson and Cole Kmet, adding "We're thinking more day-to-day, week-to-week."

Bears head coach Ben Johnson: "The thing I'm most proud about is, not only did we get off to a good start ... is we weathered the storm in between. It wasn't our best middle 8 ... I just think back to (Week 1) and we didn't handle that very well. ... We responded a lot better."

Most takeaways on defense this season: 1. Bears (16) 2. Jaguars (14) Not too surprising after hiring defensive masterminds Ben Johnson and Liam Coen this offseason. Goes to show just how important coaching can be in this sport.

Ben Johnson said he's most proud of how the Bears "weathered the storm in between" after starting out with a 20 point lead and struggling through the middle 8 (final 4 of 1st half, first 4 of 3rd Q). Called it the most physical game they've played this season.

Coach Johnson is live at the podium
