The CHGO workers reacts to the Bears’ win …
Adam Jahns: It was ugly. Very, very ugly. Nevertheless it’s a win. The Bears appeared like a group coping with a bunch of accidents coming off a brief week and an exhausting, emotional win over the defending Tremendous Bowl champions on the highway. However your complete protection deserves a recreation ball for what it did to offset 4 interceptions by quarterback Caleb Williams and Luther Burden’s misplaced fumble.
Patrick Norton: An unpleasant win continues to be a win. The Bears did not seem like the higher group for a great chunk of the sport after the primary quarter. However two touchdowns within the first quarter — paired with Jaylon Johnson’s large pick-six — proved to be sufficient to defeat a scrappy Buccaneers group that merely would not go away.
Joey Christopoulos: Caleb was engaged on a Jordan Shrug Sport (Boiling Level). Then, lukewarm. Ultimately, Iceman Cometh. Hey NFL, wanna beat the Bears? Allow them to commit FIVE TURNOVERS. Bye week completely timed. Sport ball, Jaylon Johnson.
