Oh, I love this song. This is one of the songs that the Bears run out to. This is Rahimi Harrison-Groney on 670 The Score. Tyler Buterbaugh just getting the job done on the ones and twos today. He's a beaut, man. If you need to go back and listen to his open-hour show, strongly recommend.

It is also a four-seasons heating, air conditioning, and plumbing and electric football Friday presented by Pottawatomie Casino Hotel and chicagoroofingcontractors.org. We do this segment that nobody else has ever done before. I think it might catch on. It's called Keys to the Game. Wow. We're kidding. Everybody does it.

46.812 - 52.785 Marshall Harris

I would like to see it and maybe, this might be crazy, spread to other sports too.

53.018 - 57.344 Mark Grote

You think that we could talk about other games and having a key to them?

57.404 - 72.647 Marshall Harris

We just walked by our performance studio, guys, and there was Pat and Ron and Zach doing a little Q&A session in the studio. And they could be talking about keys to the offseason right now if they knew the gold that we have in this segment.

72.627 - 97.053 Mark Grote

If only they knew about keys to the game. If only. I know. And not to be confused with inside the locker room at 125, by the way. So you heard me say this earlier. I said this on Five on It. I asked about it with Kevin Fishbane. The Bears, and I'm just going to keep saying this until I'm blue in the face, and I won't change and nothing ever changes, so I might be running in a circle here.

97.513 - 117.586 Mark Grote

But I still think that to establish a run game would be crucial in this. It would keep the Rams from being on the field as long. It would give the Bears a little bit of... extension of drives early if they can establish it. I think it would calm down that pass rush that Kevin Fishbane alluded to. As we know, Jared Vers is excellent at his job.

117.667 - 135.185 Mark Grote

He's not the only one who knows how to sack a quarterback on that Rams team. So when I consider the best way to quell an active pass rush and keep an effective offense off the field, run the football is what I'm going to go to. Byron Young is the other pass rusher who I'm worried about on the Rams.

Chapter 2: What are the keys to a Bears victory over the Rams?

150.293 - 153.158 Leila Rahimi

Is there a number you envision, whether it's 150 or 200 or...

0

153.982 - 165.124 Mark Grote

No, I don't have a yardage in mind. I just think when it comes to not only developing rhythm, but establishing some type of possession, keeping the other team off the field, that's what I would like to see happen.

0

165.364 - 175.331 Leila Rahimi

I think y'all are going to hate mine because, well, it just hasn't happened like this. Get the freaking lead. Get the freaking lead.

0

175.351 - 176.172 Marshall Harris

That's a key, Layla.

0

176.192 - 185.181 Leila Rahimi

By any means necessary, just get the lead. Do not tempt fate and feel like you can just come from behind when you're down double-digit points.

185.561 - 187.603 Mark Grote

I got this. Get the lead. Watch me go.

187.823 - 203.334 Leila Rahimi

This needs to look much more like the Eagles game than any other game. And the biggest thing with the Eagles game is not necessarily just their propensity of running the football and putting up the nearly 300 yards rushing. No, no, no, no, no. But get the lead. And then maybe you can do some of those things.

203.694 - 209.407 Leila Rahimi

But if you're playing from behind the whole game, it's going to be really hard to do the things that you just talked about, Layla.

209.467 - 220.05 Mark Grote

And it's so simple, but let's call it what it is. The Bears didn't have the lead at any point in time until the very end against the Packers.

Chapter 3: How can the Bears establish a successful run game?

350.476 - 359.888 Mark Grote

It's the acceptance of just understanding who Puka Nakua and Devante Adams are. And you have a stray key. So that's like on your key chain. You don't know why it's on your key chain. You just know it's there.

359.909 - 364.895 Leila Rahimi

You don't know what it goes to. I have one of those right now. And I'm like, as soon as I get rid of this key, I'm going to remember what it goes to.

0

364.995 - 368.039 Mark Grote

100%. That's the law. That's how that works, actually.

0

368.059 - 374.769 Marshall Harris

Some random lock, some work locker or something like that. Right. Do you have a locker here at the score? You know, we got lockers here. Do you guys know that?

0

374.789 - 375.671 Leila Rahimi

I do not have a locker.

375.691 - 376.713 Mark Grote

I don't have a locker either.

376.733 - 378.376 Leila Rahimi

I don't think I've ever given a locker.

378.396 - 382.944 Marshall Harris

I think those lockers are all from people of the past here. I think Grobber's still got a locker in the locker room.

382.964 - 397.549 Mark Grote

Lawrence uses his. Studs uses one. That's all I can think of off the top of my head. Okay. Also, before Chicago takes on L.A., tune in on Sunday from 2.30 to 5.30 p.m. for the playoff pregame show. It's right here on 670 The Score.
