Bill is joined by Dan Orlovsky of ESPN to analyze the particulars of the Bears' win over the Rams on SNF, including the play of the two young QB's Goff and Trubisky (1:16). Plus, Bill Connelly of SB Nation stops by to discuss the "Big-12-ization" of offense in the NFL, including the possibility of Oklahoma's Kyler Murray ending up playing both baseball and football (26:36).
David Kaplan and Pat Boyle talk with Bears TE Trey Burton following the big win over the Rams on Sunday Night Football.
Lost in the Bears' resounding defensive performance was how badly Trubisky played at times against the Rams. But the Bears will need better from him.
Chicago's defense absolutely dominated the Rams. It was one of the worst showings for Sean McVay and again reset the NFC playoff race.
A week after a defensive tackle scored a rushing TD, the Bears were at it again, throwing a TD pass to OT Bradley Sowell.
After Sunday night's destruction of the Rams' offense two things are clear: The Bears are for real and they are a legitimate threat to win the NFC.
Eddie Goldman led a dominant effort by the defense, and the Chicago Bears shut down Jared Goff and Los Angeles' high-powered offense in a 15-6 victory over the NFC West champion Rams on Sunday night.
The Bears defense should take a bow. Chicago throttled the Rams offense, holding quarterback Jared Goff to 80 passing yards and picking him off twice in the opening 30 minutes of play. Goff's passer rating is 21.0. Unfortunately, Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky had a 12.5 rating in the 1st half, which is why Chicago had to settle for a 6-6 tie at halftime. The team that limits mistakes in the 2nd half will come out victorious.
Bears nickel back Bryce Callahan suffered a foot injury and is doubtful to return.
Chicago Bears inactives vs. the Rams: quarterback Tyler Bray, wide receiver Kevin White, safety Deon Bush, linebacker Kylie Fitts, offensive lineman Rashaad Coward, wide receiver Javon Wims and defensive tackle Nick Williams.
Bad losses for Carolina and Washington have both teams nearly out of the playoff picture. NFL Nation dives into Week 14's lessons.
The Rams are road favorites against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. Will they cover? Here are our best bets for the game.
After missing two games due to a right shoulder injury, Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky will return to the starting lineup Sunday night against the Rams.
