When they're behind in desperation.

McMahon was great in desperate times and could kind of will his team through with Ditka's urging to victory.

And we've seen that.

When it's desperation time, that guy, Caleb Williams, he flips a switch.

There's no doubt about it.

He just had to get better.

When it's not desperate and he knows, I always go back to like, and then not to knock him or whatever, but you know, like I always go back to the, he was in the midst of all those comeback victories, but when it came time to, when, when he was behind, but when he was ahead and need to put the hammer down, I think both he and Johnson were lacking against Pittsburgh when they had those two, three and outs.

And it's like, it's like they needed the desperation to, you know, they couldn't close the door.

That's a big part of it, too.

You know, the Rams couldn't close the door against the against the Bears and got to overtime because they couldn't, you know, because Sean McVay, you know, played for, you know, played to give the Bears another possession.

Closing the door is important, too, besides just coming back, coming from behind.

And I think that's that's a step the Bears, Ben Johnson, too, and Caleb Williams need to take next year is being able to do that and shut that door.

Well, I'll leave it at this.

Ryan Pohl said, to your point, he said, and this goes back to your one score wins and losses from earlier too.

Ryan Pohl says he does not want to be the cardiac bears.

Like it's the NFL.

All games are close, but it doesn't have to be like that.

Yeah, and I think even Ben Johnson has acknowledged, or at least you can just tell, that closing games means something.

Getting first downs and closing out games, that's an important part.

That's a step they need to take.
