Episode Details

The Chicago Bears are dealing with much bigger questions than just a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Caleb Williams suffered a right hamstring injury late in Sunday’s game and is scheduled to undergo imaging Monday. Ben Johnson confirmed the hamstring diagnosis and said the Bears should know much more after the testing. There has been reported optimism that the injury may not be severe, potentially even a Grade 1 strain, but that has not yet been confirmed by the MRI.

If Caleb has to miss time, can Chicago actually trust Tyson Bagent? Bagent finished 5-of-9 for 54 yards and drove the Bears from their own 35 to Minnesota’s 12 on the final possession before the comeback attempt ended.

Haize also breaks down whether Brian Flores gave the NFL a blueprint for stopping Ben Johnson’s offense. Minnesota blitzed Caleb on 27 of 33 dropbacks — 81.8%, as Chicago went from 59 points in Week 1 to just three in Week 2.

And somehow, the Bears may have beaten themselves more than Minnesota beat them. Chicago’s defense allowed only 9 points, 246 total yards and zero touchdowns, but the offense wasted multiple scoring opportunities with penalties, a goal-line fumble and a blocked chip-shot field goal.
