Bears Drop Finale, Turn Focus to Packers in Wild Card Round
About this episode
Ruthie Polinsky and Clay Harbor recap the Bears’ regular-season finale loss to the Lions, unpacking the biggest moments and evaluating how the performance sets the tone heading into the playoffs. They spotlight Colson Loveland’s impact in the loss, assess the main lessons from the game, and identify encouraging signs to take away despite the disappointing result in Ruthie's "Silver Linings" segment.
Later, the focus turns to a Bears-Packers Wild Card preview, breaking down the key storylines in a postseason meeting between longtime rivals. The guys then get “Wired In” with a closer look at Caleb Williams’ season, including his near-4,000-yard campaign and a new Bears single-season passing mark, before wrapping up with what’s trending across the NFL as the coaching turnover begins.
