momentum in this rivalry.

You can feel it now.

And clearly the edge is back with the head coach of the Bears dropping the F-bomb to talk about the Packers in the locker room and then softening the sentiment a little bit today.

Or softening the verbiage today, but not the sentiment.

And saying, I don't like that team.

purpose and and look like the only way this becomes a rivalry is if it's competitive and the bears have now beaten green bay three times as of saturday night in 370 days before that they had beaten them three times since 2013 and so that's what shifts the rivalry it's why they have green bay's attention right now you can feel in the rhetoric from up there in wisconsin how uh

On notice they are and how on alert they are that the Bears have come for them, you know, and now have taken the North as they promised they would and now are threatening to never give it back.

And so look like it's a real deal now.

And that playoff game adds to it.

The head coaches animosity with one another adds to it.

It's a lot of fun.

It's what sports rivalry should be.

And the Bears are, you know, for once on the right side of it.

Yeah, I may have to take some time to rewatch it in full to do the pie chart on that.

But certainly, here's what I think goes into this, Grody.

It's a team that has a documented history of coming back.

is capable of applying pressure on opponents that then makes them feel really, really anxious.

And you could feel it Saturday night, some point in the third quarter.

Even though the Bears weren't scoring, the defense was stepping up, and Green Bay had kind of lost that full surge of momentum that they had offensively in the first half.

And look, I talked to Colson Loveland about it in the locker room afterwards.
