Is Caleb Williams’ injury a season‑ending concern for the Bears?
This is an IHRT podcast. Guaranteed human.
Volume. Very excited to say that Bud Light is the title sponsor of the Colin Coward podcast this NFL season. This podcast presented by Bud Light. Easy to drink, easy to enjoy. All right, former NFL Scout John Middlecoff is joining us on a weird, weird, and at times sad Sunday. Let's start. Vikings nine, Bears three, the Vikings four sacks are the lone unbeaten team in the NFC North. They were picked for fourth. I said before the season, if they finish first or fourth, I wouldn't be surprised with either. Brian Flores, I mean, it was a 6-3 game at half Minnesota. So this was one of my blazing five picks. I had a great day today on Blazing Five, but it was one of my picks. Because Brian Flores flummoxes. He is now the defensive coordinator nobody wants to face.
But the bigger story is. This was the most promising Bears offense in the history of the franchise. And Caleb Williams looked like he was going to run in for a touchdown, comes up, slides, writhing in pain. Um, you cross your fingers that it's just a hamstring. If it's an ACL season over, hamstring, those can be six to eight weeks, pro athletes heal very quickly. Um, I mean, do Your you're just kinda take on on just the devastation for Chicago.
Yeah, I mean it was a really sloppy game even before he went out, right? I mean, the Bears did not look good coming off fifty-nine points. He had the one interception where he threw back across his body over the middle of the field. Uh, you know, the a lot of the talk leading up all week was Ben Johnson kind of gets in his own head against Flores. Flores got guys coming from every single angle. But when he goes down, I mean the first thing I thought is Achilles and then they show him in tears. being carted back to the locker room, you're just thinking, players know. So when it comes out that it's a hamstring. There's a big difference between a pulled hamstring and doing something de like ripping it off the bone or something really bad to get the guy to cry.
Now, Caleb's been pretty durable. You followed his his career since high school. Never gets hurt,
yeah.
Not a guy that gets hurt. So maybe you you feel something that you're not used to feeling and you freak out. I mean, that happens a lot in the NFL, right? Guys go down and then all of a sudden you're like, oh, he's out for the he's out for the season. Then he's back in the game a couple series later. So some guys that aren't used to being injured, I I think can maybe uh get in their own head about it. Cause when you see the tears coming down his face. Yeah, I think everyone's thinking he's just done for the year. Tyson Badgett uh you know, I think had a chance on the on that final drive, but To t to lose and score. What what was the final score? Nine to six or nine to three? Nine nine to three.
Bear bear first of all, the Bears had a fumble at the two. The Bears had too many offensive penalties, a lot of operational stuff. So I mean it was, you know, sh Chicago didn't look well. But again, Minnesota puts so much pressure on you. They they blitzed at a seventy percent rate. And so listen, and Caleb's still a young player. I mean I and so Blitzes are hard to pick up unless you're Patrick Mahomes and you've you've seen every play. So listen, you cross your fingers on this stuff. Um You know, it's it's the best division in football. Um and Minnesota there's an argument. They have the best I mean, between Andy Reid and Spags And Kevin O'Connell and Brian Flores, those may be the two best You know coaching combos in the league.
So it they're a tough out. I mean there's not a lot we can say. You you just cross your finger. Listen, a lot of injury. Jaden Daniels got hurt today, but Jane Jaden Daniels doesn't have the national prestige. Uh DC doesn't play like Chicago. Chicago is such a blue blood. Um you know there's there's so many big rivalries in the NFL and but none bigger than Chicago and Green Bay and Chicago and Minnesota. Those NFC North games are just You know, they're legacy games. So it it hurts the lead.
