How did it get so bad for the Bears? + F...

THE ATHLETIC
About this episode

The Bears are pondering existential questions after a painful loss at home to the Patriots on Sunday. Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel, with the help of The Athletic’s Kevin Fishbain, unpack why this feels like a new bottom for Chicago and what might come next for the team. Dianna and Chase also share what they’re hearing and what they’re seeing in teams that are soaring, like the Steelers and Lions, and teams that are also hitting rock bottom like the Cowboys and Colts. And to close out the show, they dish out this week’s Uncrustable awards for things they arbitrarily think are cool.

Hosts: Dianna Russini, Chase Daniel
