for the Bears, and you have an opportunity to clean that up and become better.

And we'll continue to talk about big picture stuff.

I want to talk about a couple more things in the actual game.

And so the overtime.

Bears win the coin toss.

They defer three and out for the defense.

offense comes on the field they're moving the ball down the field some pretty extraordinary was it a fourth down run for Caleb Williams like some big plays and then then the interception down the field I was not in there for Caleb Williams what did he say about it what could you share with us and what was your vantage point of that moment?

I know you've got a million stories to write, so I just want to bring up one more thing here about this game.

What an extraordinary job the defense did in this game because we know that the big bursts and explosive plays that they've been giving up over the last several games, a lot of us just assumed the Rams would cut through the Bears' defense, and they didn't.

Talking to several players, there's plays that they want back, but I thought they comported themselves incredibly well on this day.

Yeah, just like that.

And as Dan and I are doing this, literally looking out at the empty field with the bright lights still on, a few people walking around, the snow on the field.

It's always a very, pardon the pun, a very chilly feeling.

But Dan and I will, I promise, we'll continue to break this game down.

Like I said, the offseason is going to be incredible for the Take the North podcast because there's so much to review.

There's so much to look forward to.

Changes inevitably are coming for the Bears.

That was something that was lamented by several players, including Jaquan Brisker, who said, you know, this is it for this locker room.

He knows it.

Maybe Jaquan Brisker won't be back next year.
