The ball traveled 51.2 yards in the air to get to Cole Kmet.

And it's just, it's astounding.

Astounding is the word.

All right.

We could get stuck on that forever, but there's so much we have to talk about.

Like I said, Weider can't be with us for the whole show, but I did chat with him.

He and I, as we were walking up from the interview room, we had both been in the locker room, and I did my interview with our guy, one of our founding fathers.

Here's Dan Weider.

Dan, your initial reaction to this?

You talked about how it's the stomach-dropping feeling.

Jalen Johnson literally said by his locker that it was like being on a roller coaster where you're at the top, you come down, and your stomach drops.

And, oh, my God, Dan, the fourth and 14 touchdown at the end of Cole Komet.

Even in a loss, I mean, we'll do a podcast probably on all the amazing things we saw from Caleb this year because I think it's probably warranted.

We know that he's got a ways to go still, but some of the throws he made, and that one was astonishing.

I don't even know what word to use.

Yeah, I mean, the good news is that the off-season talk about the Bears, despite what you're saying, that you can't assume carryover no matter how angry and motivated the Bears are from this game, the talk is going to be at a 10 this off-season.

And Dan, you and I are not used to that.

You're not used to that, where it's just like, how do you make it better now?

How do you take the things that you got away with during the season?

So there were definitely some charmed moments there.
