Speaker 1: The following is the presentation of the Chicago Bears Network,
Speaker 1: now on news radio one oh five nine. This is
Speaker 1: the Bears Coaches Show with Bears head coach Matt Eberflus,
Speaker 1: sponsored by Advocate Healthcare and Athletical Physical Therapy. Now from
Speaker 1: Palace Hall. Here's the police of the Bear's w BBMS
Speaker 1: Jeff Joniac, Welcome in to another edition of the Bears
Speaker 1: Coaches Show featuring head coach Matt Eberflus. A great evening
Speaker 1: to everybody. Hope everybody's Christmas was great, joyful, hopeful, and
Speaker 1: that goes for you too, Jem and nice day. Ah,
Speaker 1: yes I did, and good even. We're here until eight
Speaker 1: o'clock tonight. Coming up at eight o'clock Monday Night football
Speaker 1: joining in progress. It's the Chargers and Colts. Will pick
Speaker 1: that up on seven eighty AM, with news continuing on
Speaker 1: one oh five nine FM. All right, so you have
Speaker 1: plenty of time to think about this one and take
Speaker 1: a look at things. So we'll start with the weather
Speaker 1: though first, because many Bears saying it was the coldest
Speaker 1: game they ever played. Twenty six mon our wins GUS
Speaker 1: to thirty five temperature and nine win SHO minus twelve.
Speaker 1: It felt even colder than that to me in the booth.
Speaker 1: How to feel for you and how did the players
Speaker 1: respond to that? Cool? No, it was good. You know,
Speaker 1: first of all, shout out to the fans for everybody
Speaker 1: that showed up to the game. That was really cool
Speaker 1: to see all the Bears fans there chairing the song
Speaker 1: and they've been excellent all year, you know. Relative to
Speaker 1: the players, it was it was really cold, but it
Speaker 1: was more about the wind. You know, the wind was
Speaker 1: pushing the ball, you know, one direction or the other.
Speaker 1: It was more of a swirling wind up there, you
Speaker 1: know in the stadium because it was coming from the
Speaker 1: west and it wasn't coming you know, you know, more
Speaker 1: one way or the other, but it was hitting the
Speaker 1: side of the stadium and kind of swirling in there.
Speaker 1: So it really wasn't pushing it one direction or the other.
Speaker 1: So it really didn't say, okay, hey we want to
Speaker 1: kick this way or kick that way, because that was
Speaker 1: a consideration going into the game, saying hey we can
Speaker 1: you know, possibly you know, take the ball or and
Speaker 1: also had to win in the fourth quarter to be
Speaker 1: able to do that. But we decided to go ahead
Speaker 1: and we were deferring again. We didn't. We end up
Speaker 1: winning the coin toss, but it all worked out. But again,
Speaker 1: the kick lines where they were fourth down considerations were
Speaker 1: a little bit longer just because of the wind um
Speaker 1: and went we went for fourth downs too, obviously, went
Speaker 1: for four of them moments at the very end of
Speaker 1: the game. We end up getting one of them, we
Speaker 1: end up getting a reversal on a replay on the
Speaker 1: other one, and the other one was tipped at the
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. So overall we need to do better there.
Speaker 1: But certainly those lines were open a little bit more
Speaker 1: from fourth down tries. Well, Hack Justin even said even
Speaker 1: the short throws, you didn't really know where it was
Speaker 1: going to wind up going because of the gusts, you know,
Speaker 1: those little things. Yeah, I mean, how about shotgun snaps. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you saw that on the on the on the Morrow interception.
Speaker 1: You know, Josh was stepping up to go ahead and
Speaker 1: throw a simple check down and the wind just blew it, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, vertically, So it ended up you know, going
Speaker 1: right to Morrow and doing a nice job of catching it.
Speaker 1: And and not that this vets the Bears in any way,
Speaker 1: shape or form, but you feel for Buffalo a little bit.
Speaker 1: They were stuck here because of what was going on
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, And if you were in that same situation,
Speaker 1: how would you handle that, Because you know, you're in
Speaker 1: the future when you're a playoff team end of the
Speaker 1: year and you're trying to get stuff done and get
Speaker 1: and get the best possible seed. Now they lost a
Speaker 1: day here and now they're losing. I don't even know
Speaker 1: if they're back yet. Yeah. I think they got back
Speaker 1: yesterday sometime afternoon, I believe. But again, that was one
Speaker 1: of the worst storms the Erie County and Buffalo has
Speaker 1: had in fifty years. And obviously a lot of people
Speaker 1: have lost their lives. So it's a serious, serious deal
Speaker 1: and people are still digging out from that. A lot
Speaker 1: of people don't have electricity. So I feel for those
Speaker 1: people over there. Prayers out to those guys. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's certainly a tough situation for the football team as well.
Speaker 1: All right, let's let's dig into the game. Attrition has
Speaker 1: been something significant obviously on this football team. I believe
Speaker 1: of the twenty two starters, eleven of them did not
Speaker 1: start Week one. Yeah, that's that's significant, and a lot
Speaker 1: of teams go through it but yet you've managed, as
Speaker 1: you were pointing out to me, you know many times,
Speaker 1: been in a lot of these games despite that attrition
Speaker 1: and right up until the fourth quarter and key moments.
Speaker 1: What do you what do you attribute that to and
Speaker 1: how did they respond to that? With this a whole
Speaker 1: group of guys, offensive line changes again, secondary you name it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the guys were in there battling again. So
Speaker 1: it was you know, twenty one thirteen, you know, going
Speaker 1: into you know, eight minutes to go within the game,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, but to go back to your
Speaker 1: original question, you know, it really is the guy's being
Speaker 1: able to step up. You know, I think the coaches
Speaker 1: are doing an outstanding job preparing these guys. You know,
Speaker 1: the Jalen Jones, you know the black Well, you know
Speaker 1: Sandborn when he's in there, Dominic Robinson, Gordon coming back
Speaker 1: from injury. He's played really well the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Brisker has done a nice job, you know, So you
Speaker 1: get a Veylis Shones had a bounce back game from
Speaker 1: last week from the week before. So a lot of
Speaker 1: these young guys are getting a lot of great experience
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it happens in the league where guys,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, go down and you got to
Speaker 1: step up, and guys have done that all year. Could
Speaker 1: you have imagined playing this many rookies and this many
Speaker 1: snaps before the season began, And if you did or didn't,
Speaker 1: did you have faith that the coaches would get them
Speaker 1: ready because of the type of talent that was brought in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I always have faith in the coaches. You know, these
Speaker 1: guys are teachers first and that's what they are. And
Speaker 1: then they're they're they're motivating guys. They can motivate their
Speaker 1: players to play very hard and play play the right way. So, um,
Speaker 1: that's why we brought him here in the in the beginning.
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, you never really know what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: We knew we're gonna have to play a few rookies, um,
Speaker 1: you know on defense for sure, but uh, you know
Speaker 1: this has been a little bit more than we're used to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no question. Three starters in the second Let's pick it
Speaker 1: up there because Gordon outside, which was a little bit
Speaker 1: different than the nickel, And how did he respond in
Speaker 1: your opinion? Look good? Another interception? Yeah, it's great. It
Speaker 1: was a great interception. You know, obviously was cover three,
Speaker 1: end up bailing back to his third and end up
Speaker 1: you know, high pointing the ball and a nice return
Speaker 1: out to the thirty five. That was very good. But uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's another opportunity for him to
Speaker 1: play outside and use a different skill set. You know,
Speaker 1: he's been going back and forth and he can just
Speaker 1: really hone on this outside scope was position right now
Speaker 1: and he looks good out there, and he's gonna have
Speaker 1: his hands full. You know, we're gonna play a couple
Speaker 1: of good sets of receivers here to the last two
Speaker 1: weeks and he'll have his hands full and he's gonna
Speaker 1: have to use all the skill he can. It might
Speaker 1: give you a window to next year at a different spot. Absolutely, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Blackwell also learning that. Yeah, Blackball is doing good inside.
Speaker 1: You know, he's a very scrappy player. He's very tough. Um.
Speaker 1: He shows that on special teams all the time. He
Speaker 1: did a really nice job a couping the ball yesterday,
Speaker 1: keeping on his inside pad. Um. I think it was
Speaker 1: a pass out to the tight end knocks out there.
Speaker 1: But I believe and uh um he's done a good
Speaker 1: job there. And I know everytime there's a near takeaway
Speaker 1: or possibil takeaway. It's gonna live with you, Jalen Jones
Speaker 1: on that cross one side to the field the other.
Speaker 1: Just put your hands up in there. Maybe you snare
Speaker 1: that one. That would have been a un amazing play
Speaker 1: as well. But overall, his his toughness and ability to
Speaker 1: just not make it too big for him sticking out
Speaker 1: about this hundred We talk about him every week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's doing a really good job there. And you know
Speaker 1: that one player you're referring to, you know, that was
Speaker 1: a you know, the ball us one across the field.
Speaker 1: He was We're in a cloud corner covered two corner there,
Speaker 1: and he was just simply bail him back and he
Speaker 1: did a good job of high pointing the ball. His
Speaker 1: hands got to come up together. I mean, if you
Speaker 1: look at the replayers hands or apart, you know, so
Speaker 1: you got to form that triang or that diamond to
Speaker 1: be able to catch that ball and look it in.
Speaker 1: And so we'll coach him up on that and get
Speaker 1: them better for next time. Isn't it the darnest thing?
Speaker 1: It is? It really is about the little things. This
Speaker 1: it is always is. Little things become big things. If
Speaker 1: if you let it right. So I mean we go,
Speaker 1: we go all these shows all season long, but every
Speaker 1: single week of these shows we talk about these little
Speaker 1: things and once those little things get picked up to
Speaker 1: the record flips. Yep, it sure does. The Bears Coaches
Speaker 1: Show with Matt Eberflus and w BBMS Jeff Joni I
Speaker 1: continues snap fields, protections, good look at the throw to
Speaker 1: the end zone wide up, but backing up what corner
Speaker 1: dot tech pet us for the touchdown? Touchdown? Bears, Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the Bear's Coaches Show with Matt Eberflus. Greats
Speaker 1: He's available to see here Chicago Bears this season. It's
Speaker 1: would you feel get your tickets at Chicago Bears dot
Speaker 1: com slash tickets. Just heard the fields to Pettis touchdown
Speaker 1: a six yard or only touchdown of the game for
Speaker 1: the Bears. Opening drive touchdowns are always sweet. That one
Speaker 1: was breakdown the play. Yeah, you know, our offense has
Speaker 1: done a really good job when I was opening drives
Speaker 1: all year and uh that's our first fifteen. The guys
Speaker 1: do a really good job of scripting that. You know,
Speaker 1: during the course of the week, Um, the players know
Speaker 1: what the plays are and again that was a red
Speaker 1: zone play for us, and uh, you know they were
Speaker 1: in a quarters type of concept on that particular play.
Speaker 1: We had a bunch concept there and uh, you know
Speaker 1: Dante line up at number three and end up you know,
Speaker 1: stemming out to the number two position and working to
Speaker 1: the flat. You know, whatever happened there, they happened. And
Speaker 1: he was wide opening in the in the in the
Speaker 1: corner of the end zone there. Nice nice throw, nice
Speaker 1: catch and good execution. Yep, it's never easy pitching catch,
Speaker 1: but he's wide open, backing up catching the throw. Just
Speaker 1: you know, don't drop it right, That's that's what you're thinking.
Speaker 1: It's always a teaching moment here, Always a teaching moment
Speaker 1: here for sure. With Matt Eberflus, you talk about stem.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about for those people who don't know what
Speaker 1: that means, refers to our route. Yes, so when you
Speaker 1: start out as a receiver, you stem your route either
Speaker 1: inside or outside based on the leverage of the of
Speaker 1: the defender or based on the route concept itself. So
Speaker 1: he was line up at number three, So you always
Speaker 1: count the receiver numbers outside in so when you're in
Speaker 1: a three by one set, it'll be one, two, three.
Speaker 1: He was line up inside the innermost receiver towards you know,
Speaker 1: towards the ball, and he stemmed out to that number
Speaker 1: two positions, so he actually switched release with the number
Speaker 1: two guy and then he went to the flat. So
Speaker 1: that really created some confusion, um, you know for the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in that particular play, and we end up
Speaker 1: scoring a touchdown. All right, Another one here because we
Speaker 1: talked about the first fifteen. I don't know, maybe teams
Speaker 1: do more than that or less than that. When was
Speaker 1: that born? Has it always been that way? And could
Speaker 1: you do more? That's just too much? That's a good question,
Speaker 1: you know. You know, different coordinators do it different ways.
Speaker 1: You know, their first fifteen is really predicated off their
Speaker 1: first and second down calls, so they have them and
Speaker 1: they just go down the line to make s. They
Speaker 1: do a good mix of running pass and different formations
Speaker 1: and different pass concepts. You know. Then when it goes
Speaker 1: to third down, they go to their third down chart.
Speaker 1: You know, what's my first third and two call, what's
Speaker 1: my first third and five call? So forth and so on.
Speaker 1: But they go through that so they get a good
Speaker 1: rhythm and they really do it for you know, identification
Speaker 1: also for the for what what is the defense? What
Speaker 1: are they doing? How they attacking us, how they trying
Speaker 1: to attack us, So they can gather information as they
Speaker 1: go through their first fifteen. And then conversely, how does
Speaker 1: the defense prepare for somebody's first fifteen? Obviously you're watching
Speaker 1: previous weeks and so forth, but maybe everybody's got a
Speaker 1: fresh fifteen, uh, and then what can you do with
Speaker 1: your fifteen? Yeah, that's that's also a good that you
Speaker 1: want to counter a lot of those things. And you know,
Speaker 1: we have what we're you know, our stable defenses, of course,
Speaker 1: but we also have these things that we mix in there,
Speaker 1: you know, to throw them off the scent. So we'll
Speaker 1: have different new looks for them as well in the
Speaker 1: first fifteen, different fronts, different front variations, different movements, different pressures,
Speaker 1: something they haven't seen from us, just to mix some
Speaker 1: mix in there. We do that every single week. Do
Speaker 1: teams also planned the first drive in the second half? Sure,
Speaker 1: same way, yep, they sure do, yep. So they go
Speaker 1: in there and they'll get collectively as a group they say, okay,
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna start with. Guys. Here's here's
Speaker 1: another stack of plays that we want to run and
Speaker 1: then we'll go back to our third down menu. Very good.
Speaker 1: I always love hearing that kind of insight. All right,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the rush, both the Bears and defending
Speaker 1: the run. Obviously there's a big, big part of the
Speaker 1: game with the two hundred and fifty seven yards rushing
Speaker 1: against you in the eight that you get. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: so that was one of the big, you know, key
Speaker 1: takeaways that you and I talked about before the game.
Speaker 1: We wanted to own the line of scrimmage. And again,
Speaker 1: hats off to Buffalo. They did a really good job
Speaker 1: of that, you know, with their defensive line and also
Speaker 1: the running backsman ale to run the ball. So you know,
Speaker 1: we got to do a good job of fitting up
Speaker 1: the run on defense, you know, and then obviously doing
Speaker 1: a really good job of like we have all year
Speaker 1: on offense. I've been having that ability to run the ball.
Speaker 1: We just got to do a better job of finishing
Speaker 1: our blocks. How do you feel Herbert looked, let's not
Speaker 1: look at the production for a minute, because he had
Speaker 1: a few touches is not a lot of yards, but
Speaker 1: it was at their defense or was he just getting
Speaker 1: back into form? Yeah, I just think he you know,
Speaker 1: I thought he looked good, you know, pregame, I thought
Speaker 1: he was he was ready to go, and he'll he'll
Speaker 1: get himself right there again. He's he's a talented back. Um,
Speaker 1: he'll he makes those cuts and makes those guys miss
Speaker 1: and uh, he'll be back at it here shortly. They
Speaker 1: mentioned in the news conference earlier today, they you know,
Speaker 1: you had a footstep down justin fields by Matt Milano,
Speaker 1: the linebacker for the Bills. But he's good to go.
Speaker 1: He's okay, yeah, yeah, he's good to go again. We'll
Speaker 1: see here in the next forty eight hours. But you know,
Speaker 1: right now everything's green light. He's looking good and ready
Speaker 1: for Wednesday's practice. I thought it was an interesting question,
Speaker 1: you know, to even consider shutting him down, was one
Speaker 1: of the questions asked. But there is so much evaluation.
Speaker 1: Every rep matters at this point. I know some people
Speaker 1: may not believe that that it carries over, but every
Speaker 1: experience matters. It's a it's a deposit on your future, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's it really is important. These are two division games
Speaker 1: for us UM. It's very important for a football team
Speaker 1: to be able to go out compete and win these
Speaker 1: football games. And UH and learn how to finish as
Speaker 1: a group playing complimentary football at the end. And in
Speaker 1: these division opponents. Obviously, you gotta win your division to
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs. That's always the key, you know,
Speaker 1: that's your clearest pathway to do it. So to take
Speaker 1: on these teams and knock them down is a big
Speaker 1: key alliance. Also competing still for a playoff spot, so
Speaker 1: they'll come in with some juice there. Their building was
Speaker 1: rock and a couple of weeks ago, so that's also
Speaker 1: a good experience for the basil Burg. Now more of
Speaker 1: the Bears Coaches Show featuring Matt Eberflus on Shape Congo's news,
Speaker 1: traffic and weather station one oh five nine w BBM.
Speaker 1: Back to throw, Josh Allen winds up tossness intercepted into
Speaker 1: the end zone. Gordon comes out five. Gordon with an
Speaker 1: athletic pick of the ten to the fifty twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five thirty coming to the near side of the field,
Speaker 1: head tackle Crow behind by James Cook all the way
Speaker 1: out to the thirty five yard line. Catter Gordon's third
Speaker 1: interceptor of the year. Welcome back to the Bears Coaching
Speaker 1: Show with Matt Eberflus, get the ultimate VIP fan package.
Speaker 1: It's Chicago Bears VIP so if you're a game ticket
Speaker 1: and appearance and Bears Legends and more by visiting Chicago
Speaker 1: Bears vip dot com. The interception by Gordon his third
Speaker 1: we already touched down to play, but just after he
Speaker 1: comes back in the concussion, it just seems like he's
Speaker 1: a slightly different player. Is that me imagining it or
Speaker 1: what do you think? Uh? You knows he's always had
Speaker 1: great confidence. I think he had a chance to in
Speaker 1: those couple of weeks to reflect a little bit. Uh,
Speaker 1: to go back and digest what he's done so far
Speaker 1: to this point, go back and look a lot of it,
Speaker 1: look at a lot of his tape, and really get
Speaker 1: the feedback from his coach and really just do a
Speaker 1: good job. They're assessing where he was and where he's
Speaker 1: going to go in the future and where he's gonna
Speaker 1: go these next few games. And uh, and again that
Speaker 1: player that we just heard was was it was excellent.
Speaker 1: You know. It was a one by three formation that
Speaker 1: tight end up going in a crossing route and we
Speaker 1: were in a simple cover three and he ended up
Speaker 1: climbing in his third um and they try to throw
Speaker 1: a deep over route to the back of that corner
Speaker 1: of the end zone there, and he did a great
Speaker 1: job sinking back and high pointing that ball, brought it
Speaker 1: back to the thirty five. There were some really good
Speaker 1: blocks on that return as well. You know, we always
Speaker 1: bring up all the returns on the numbers there, it's
Speaker 1: the numbers return. And I thought our defense had a
Speaker 1: really good job getting some blocks. Almost had a chance
Speaker 1: to break it when he cut back across the field,
Speaker 1: but he got caught. But I thought overall it was
Speaker 1: a good interception and a really nice return by our defense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when he cut the I thought for sure that something
Speaker 1: might open up there. And when he made that kind
Speaker 1: of look you know you got, you got, you had
Speaker 1: stood up a little bit, right, Yeah, yeah, tall, Okay,
Speaker 1: here we go, right, here we go. But the but
Speaker 1: the other thing too, that the interception itself, the technique
Speaker 1: and the sinking and all that's great, But to me,
Speaker 1: that was an athletic interception high pointing that ball, leaping,
Speaker 1: twisting and making the catch. That that all has to
Speaker 1: be put together as well. Yeah, and then the the
Speaker 1: you know, the sermon. You know, I always right there
Speaker 1: on the goal and when he caught it, you know,
Speaker 1: so he was in you know, but him to be
Speaker 1: able to take it out of there till the thirty
Speaker 1: five was really good. Um. Obviously, if you get any
Speaker 1: deeper net, you just like the take a knee. But
Speaker 1: in that one there, he's kind of was fell back
Speaker 1: into it as he caught it, and he decided to
Speaker 1: bring it out from your conversations with him over the
Speaker 1: course of the season, because he was targeted a ton,
Speaker 1: I mean he was and you know, did give up
Speaker 1: some yards and a couple of touchdowns. But did that
Speaker 1: challenge his resolve in anyway, Well, he's gonna have his
Speaker 1: resolve challenge. You're playing corner in the NFL, So that's
Speaker 1: the way it goes. I mean, you're gonna get targeted,
Speaker 1: you're gonna get you know things, the ball is gonna
Speaker 1: get thrown to you. What I think that the defensive
Speaker 1: backs are really doing a good job. And I mentioned
Speaker 1: this the last couple a couple of weeks ago. I
Speaker 1: believe is that when the ball is thrown on a
Speaker 1: go ball, you know, we've been doing a really good job.
Speaker 1: And I think Jaalen had one yesterday again or it
Speaker 1: might have been black Wall black bol where he was
Speaker 1: looking he was in phase, but also looking back as
Speaker 1: his arms go up, you know, so he won't get
Speaker 1: defensive pass interference. And I think our defensive backs coach
Speaker 1: has been doing a really good job with that. James
Speaker 1: Row and also David Overstreet have done a nice job
Speaker 1: with that repping that. During the draw work. You mentioned
Speaker 1: penalties and I know that was a big thing for
Speaker 1: you coming and your history is low penalties, and I
Speaker 1: think that has been the case. There's been very few
Speaker 1: special teams penalties. Are you Are you comfortable with the
Speaker 1: amount of given a young team so far with two
Speaker 1: games together. Yeah, I mean it's it's been good. It's
Speaker 1: been good. It's not top five, it's not where where
Speaker 1: we need it to be, um where we want it
Speaker 1: to be. But it's been disciplined football. You know. The
Speaker 1: guys who have been disciplined, they've done a nice job
Speaker 1: understanding when when too when not to um you know,
Speaker 1: make those moves that are that are on the edge
Speaker 1: and uh of they did a really good job being
Speaker 1: discipline and things like personal files and all that. I
Speaker 1: touched on this and the Bears led the league in
Speaker 1: personal files and yards attached to those personal files a
Speaker 1: year ago, and I believe there's only two this season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we had one on the sideline. I believe it was
Speaker 1: against Detroit. Um Gordon had one and I don't know
Speaker 1: what the other one was. I don't remember right now,
Speaker 1: but again that was you know, a call that could
Speaker 1: have been called or not. But again it's been very low.
Speaker 1: But what I'm driving at here that's important for you
Speaker 1: culture wise, and that's winning football, is to stay away
Speaker 1: from me. Yeah, there's no question about that. You can
Speaker 1: play aggressive, smart, clean football and be low and penalties.
Speaker 1: You know, we've proven that over the course of time
Speaker 1: that we can. You can have a top five defense
Speaker 1: and be very aggressive, very hard hitting football team. That's
Speaker 1: what we're doing here at the Beers. We're gonna be hard,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be fast, we're going to be physical on
Speaker 1: all sides of the ball, but we're also going to
Speaker 1: be clean and play within the rules. All right, let's
Speaker 1: talk about the offensive line changes. Four starting left guards
Speaker 1: this season. Boram started the theater, the Iceland came in
Speaker 1: as well, and we know what continuity means. The last
Speaker 1: time a five started here in a full season was
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. It happens rare in the NFL. We were
Speaker 1: praising the Eagles and now they lost their Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: right tackle for the rest of the regular season, Lane
Speaker 1: Johnson is very, very difficult to keep an offensive line together,
Speaker 1: either because of performance or because of injury. Yet, how
Speaker 1: do you think they've handled all of that with your No,
Speaker 1: they've done a nice job. I think it's important. Number one,
Speaker 1: you get you get a good offensive line coach, you know,
Speaker 1: and a good assistant, which we have there. And then
Speaker 1: it's important to have the backup roles. You know, who's
Speaker 1: going to be your backup inside player, who's gonna be
Speaker 1: your swing tackle. And for guys to have position flex,
Speaker 1: you know, we look at some guys that have position flex.
Speaker 1: Larry has a little bit of position flex, you know.
Speaker 1: You know Tevin has position flex, you know. To be
Speaker 1: able to do those different combinations and put your best
Speaker 1: five out there, because that's obviously a very physical position.
Speaker 1: You're gonna, you know, have some injuries during the course
Speaker 1: of a season and some different lineup changes. And I
Speaker 1: don't know about this mini lamp changes for sure, but
Speaker 1: you certainly have a couple during the course of a year.
Speaker 1: Even in a healthy year eight with if you count
Speaker 1: either going in for the first time it left gutting
Speaker 1: nest nine So far right. The Bears Coaches Show with
Speaker 1: Mattie Buflus a sponsored by for Rising Bett Rivers and
Speaker 1: Miller Lite once again the Voice of the Bears w BBMS,

Speaker 1: right Tomorrow at the twenty three yard line, running right
Speaker 1: to Morrow tripped down at the eighteen yard nine. What
Speaker 1: was he doing? Josh Allen threw it directly to number
Speaker 1: fifty three for the swife. Welcome back to the Bear's
Speaker 1: Coaches Show with head coach Mattie Refluce. He's into year
Speaker 1: game day celebrations with a little help from the pros
Speaker 1: at jewel Asco. Get party, Trace Sweet Treats, Butcher quality
Speaker 1: meats and more at any jewel Asco Store. Just heard
Speaker 1: Nicholas Morrow's interception first as a Bear, third career interception.
Speaker 1: I would say simply nothing to it. Right, he overthrew
Speaker 1: his guy and there he was, But there's always more
Speaker 1: to it. Gotta be around the ball. But he took
Speaker 1: advantage of an overthrow. Yeah, that was I think it
Speaker 1: was a good sequence and if and crypt me I'm wrong,
Speaker 1: but I believe that was right after the fourth down.
Speaker 1: They overturned the fourth down, and then two plays later
Speaker 1: we end up intercepting the ball, which is a great
Speaker 1: willmentum shift for us. You know, it was really simple
Speaker 1: zone and he was just in his hook drop right there,
Speaker 1: and again Alan was attempting to throw it to the
Speaker 1: running back and a checkdown and it sailed on him
Speaker 1: and you still got to catch it. You know, did
Speaker 1: a nice up catching it. We were trying to take
Speaker 1: it to the side for a return, him getting tripped up.
Speaker 1: But overall, really good focus and concentration play by Nick
Speaker 1: Technique wise Matt Adams on the force fumble, exactly what
Speaker 1: you want. Punching at the ball, Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1: It was great. He came right behind him and did
Speaker 1: a nice job of the you know, the peanut punch there.
Speaker 1: It was really good. Dislodged the ball from him. And
Speaker 1: then Elijah, you know, he was right on the spot
Speaker 1: there because it was hustle, did a very nice job
Speaker 1: of collecting that ball as he jumped over the pile
Speaker 1: and did a really good job. We just got a
Speaker 1: cradle it right there. But again another good takeaway, Elijah Hicks,
Speaker 1: the rookie safety getting rotating in there with DHC. So
Speaker 1: the takeaway six and two games and you'd love to
Speaker 1: have the momentum right into the final two games. Keep
Speaker 1: putting up those numbers. Obviously the offense only got three
Speaker 1: points out of those, so that's the next phase. Also,
Speaker 1: so again these building blocks to what you want. And overall,
Speaker 1: while teams have run on you a lot in terms
Speaker 1: of attempts, you're tied for fourth in the NFL and
Speaker 1: interception percentage of a defense. Yeah, yes, so that's an
Speaker 1: important part for us. You know, we've been you know,
Speaker 1: the top top five in the league and taking the
Speaker 1: ball away and we want to continue to do that.
Speaker 1: Right now, we got twenty one. We're even on the
Speaker 1: year for turnover margin at this time. But again we
Speaker 1: got us just keep pushing for that number. You know,
Speaker 1: we always want big numbers in that regard. But again,
Speaker 1: guys are doing a good job, but the coaches are
Speaker 1: putting in front of them. They're doing a good job
Speaker 1: of punch hammer rake during the course of practice. We've
Speaker 1: got to continue to do that. We do it on
Speaker 1: the practice field, We're going to do it in the game.
Speaker 1: I could be wrong with the stat if I am,
Speaker 1: I apologize everybody I don't have in front of me.
Speaker 1: I know it'sa on my board at home. But I
Speaker 1: believe last year every playoff team had had at least
Speaker 1: twenty five takeaways for a season. Now, yeah, that may
Speaker 1: be low. I maybe my numbers wrong, but you know
Speaker 1: you're headed in. I mean again, we're talking about these
Speaker 1: building blocks, and while the wins aren't coming, there's building
Speaker 1: blocks showing. Would you agree that's one of them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt the ball. You have to win the ball.
Speaker 1: You know, if you win the ball, you got a chance.
Speaker 1: You know, last week we were plus two. That puts
Speaker 1: you at seventy five percent win, right. You know this
Speaker 1: this week we're plus one, you know, so that we're
Speaker 1: in a sixty percent. So we just got to, like
Speaker 1: I said, do the game defining plays we have to execute.
Speaker 1: But one of those and some of those plays are
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, taking the ball always a big
Speaker 1: part of that. With the running game. Montgomery Khalil back
Speaker 1: fields still chasing that record and not able to get
Speaker 1: a lot of runs. How did that hamper the offense
Speaker 1: in terms of rushing yards And is that something if
Speaker 1: if they take away justin the way they did moving forward,
Speaker 1: how do you counter that? Yeah, I think it comes
Speaker 1: out to execution, it really does. You look at the
Speaker 1: run plays that we had, We just need to execute.
Speaker 1: You know, we got to finish our blocks, the combo blocks,
Speaker 1: the you know, when we're zoning up to the second level,
Speaker 1: we got to make sure we're spotting it the right way,
Speaker 1: so you know, the perimeter blocking. You know, we've done
Speaker 1: it really good all year and I just think we
Speaker 1: got to get back to the basics and do it right.
Speaker 1: Terrific season. On third down, it's been one of the
Speaker 1: biggest advancements offensively for this team. They're still seventh in
Speaker 1: the league, but rough one on on Saturday obviously, two
Speaker 1: or twelve and one on four and fourth down. But overall,
Speaker 1: do you see things on those third downs in that
Speaker 1: game that easily can be back where you're getting a percentage? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do, for sure, I do see that. You know, again,
Speaker 1: that comes down to execution in those moments and third
Speaker 1: down on both sides of the ball need to be better. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, for us to be able to win situational footballs,
Speaker 1: you know, part of our core principles again, red zone,
Speaker 1: we need to do a better job. Third down, we
Speaker 1: had to do a better job. And those are two
Speaker 1: critical components to having a successful day. All right, Bears
Speaker 1: are looking to get some guys back heavily. We'll find
Speaker 1: out midweek on exactly where things are headed for guys
Speaker 1: like Chase Claypool, qu Sam Brown and some mothers on
Speaker 1: the offensive line. We'll get to that throughout the course
Speaker 1: of the week. Just getting you up to date on
Speaker 1: that and we get ready for the Detroit Lions. A
Speaker 1: trip to Ford Field. The Bears Coaches Show with Mattie
Speaker 1: Berflus and w BBMS Jeff Joney. I continues snap play
Speaker 1: faked motcom. We're pulling back the throw feel to the
Speaker 1: nice plane pocket, going deep, sprinting down the right time,
Speaker 1: making the catch, had a beauty what a catch by
Speaker 1: Bayless Jones gets up and keeps running, but Dayless Jones
Speaker 1: at a perfect, beautiful grow by justin Field threaded it
Speaker 1: between defender. Welcome back to the Bear's Coaches Show. A
Speaker 1: Bear's head coach, matt ever Flus just heard Vayless Jones
Speaker 1: from justin Fields Dang forty four yards strike. I want
Speaker 1: to talk about this play in detail. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: just say just you know, see what you said was
Speaker 1: the protection was outstanding. You know. Obviously it's a max
Speaker 1: protection shot, you know, so you do have extra guys
Speaker 1: in there to protect to give us more time to
Speaker 1: run that play. But that's the play that we run
Speaker 1: all the time. Um, it's it's you know, you saw Cole.
Speaker 1: He was sitting over the ball there about fifteen yards
Speaker 1: and then we had a big post over the top
Speaker 1: and it was excellent execution. The ball couldn't have been
Speaker 1: thrown in a better spot, you know. And it was
Speaker 1: outside the numbers, like you said, forty four yards it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be, you know, right in there, forty four
Speaker 1: to forty five yards in that range. And uh, Vyliss
Speaker 1: did a great job of running underneath it. And great ball,
Speaker 1: great catch and really good protection. But again the win
Speaker 1: played a factor in that and that and that ball
Speaker 1: for sure, it was it was originally thrown on the
Speaker 1: numbers and the thing it just blew kept blowing to
Speaker 1: the sideline and uh, again Valless did a great job
Speaker 1: of tracking tracking it does that one play everything happened
Speaker 1: in the game you didn't you know again losing and
Speaker 1: things that didn't go well. That one play, to me
Speaker 1: is for the future because now Justin knows, not that
Speaker 1: he didn't before, but you have to make it happen. Hey,
Speaker 1: I can let him run under these balls. Yeah, go
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah they've done it, don't you agree with me? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they've done it in practice if they've throwed some really
Speaker 1: deep ones and he's caught a bunch of them too,
Speaker 1: so over the last couple of weeks. So it's not
Speaker 1: surprising to me to see that play in the game
Speaker 1: because I've seen it in practice quite a few times.
Speaker 1: But certainly a good target to have. Like I said,
Speaker 1: a really good bounce back game for Vyaliss. You know,
Speaker 1: he's had an up and down here. It was really
Speaker 1: good for him. I was happy for him to be
Speaker 1: able to see his return game and also that a
Speaker 1: couple of nice catches there for him. And obviously the
Speaker 1: chemistry with with Justin going forward, Can he can he
Speaker 1: trust his speed? Then? Can he trust that? You know?
Speaker 1: Can they trust each other on that and develop chemistry
Speaker 1: with that? I do. I just I think it's something
Speaker 1: to build upon for sure. Again, some things in the
Speaker 1: rushing department because we're all into this right now and
Speaker 1: I'd love to see this happen. Two hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards a tie most all time in a
Speaker 1: season is that in eighty four. That was a sixteen
Speaker 1: eighty four yards season from Peyton five point to a carry.
Speaker 1: That would be most all time if it holds up.
Speaker 1: The record was set in nineteen thirty four when they
Speaker 1: played a whole different brand of football. Five point oh
Speaker 1: players have set it's important to them to try to
Speaker 1: get these and they feel they're gonna get it. No,
Speaker 1: it is important, and again it comes down to execution
Speaker 1: and the guys really want to be able to accomplish this.
Speaker 1: It's it's important for us as as a football team.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, it's gonna come down to all eleven,
Speaker 1: Like we always say, it's gonna come down to the runners,
Speaker 1: It's gonna come down to the offensive line. It's gonna
Speaker 1: come down to know, really the three probleming effect that
Speaker 1: we have with Demo and Herb and and also you
Speaker 1: know justin you know, to be able to accomplish that goal.
Speaker 1: And that's what's put us in this position. The guys
Speaker 1: have put in tremendous effort. The coaches have done a
Speaker 1: great job of scheming it up, and that's why we're
Speaker 1: in this position right now. This is what you always
Speaker 1: want to be, right, Yeah, I think we have to
Speaker 1: be able to run the football for sure. You know,
Speaker 1: that's just the way it is. We saw yesterday. You know,
Speaker 1: when you're gonna have games like this, you know we're
Speaker 1: gonna go far into the playoffs and make it all
Speaker 1: the way. You're gonna have some home games, in games
Speaker 1: and weather conditions that that you're gonna have to run
Speaker 1: the football. And uh, our guys have proven to do that.
Speaker 1: We've got to do a good job of finishing up
Speaker 1: these last two games. We have not talked about this
Speaker 1: particular player for a while, and maybe because he's been
Speaker 1: doing a nice job. Braxton Jones spoke to the media
Speaker 1: this afternoon, and he's a breath of fresh air. He
Speaker 1: tells you exactly what he thinks he needs to work on,
Speaker 1: what the coaches have told him. He's honest about it,
Speaker 1: but he's just so wide eyed about this opportunity and
Speaker 1: he has not missed a snap. He is playing left
Speaker 1: tackle as a fifth round pick out of Southern Utah
Speaker 1: and the NFL facing a lot of great players this season,
Speaker 1: really impressive fronts, and while there have been some inconsistency
Speaker 1: that he admits, is this a success story no matter
Speaker 1: what happens in the end of this twenty twenty two seasons. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it is. It really is. You know, like
Speaker 1: you said that, all those variables, you know, it doesn't
Speaker 1: point to starting left tackle every single play in the NFL,
Speaker 1: you know, especially as a rookie, you know, and that's
Speaker 1: a tribute to him. You know, he's a very mature man.
Speaker 1: He's he does a very nice job of learning, you know,
Speaker 1: this game and it's important to him, and he has
Speaker 1: a lot of confidence. He's got a lot of ability.
Speaker 1: He's got really good feet, you know, he's a he's
Speaker 1: a heck of an athlete, and he's done a good
Speaker 1: job of learning it. And again, certainly he's had his
Speaker 1: ups and downs, you know, like all rookies do. But
Speaker 1: he's had the maturity that you know, the really the
Speaker 1: ability to look at it as a performance and take
Speaker 1: it to heart and improve every single week. And that's
Speaker 1: what we're that's what we're always saying. But he's taken
Speaker 1: that to heart and done it, and he's had a
Speaker 1: good season. He's humbly said, Hey, I'm not here to
Speaker 1: make the decision that I'm the future left tackle. He goes,
Speaker 1: but I want to. I want to be a cornerstone
Speaker 1: left tackle. Any now, you hear the confidence and the
Speaker 1: humilia at the same time. We'll pick up that conversation
Speaker 1: when we come back. Yep. The Bears Coaches Show continues
Speaker 1: exclusively on the Home of the Bears. Should Congo's News
Speaker 1: Trafficking weather Station one oh five nine w BBN. Bills
Speaker 1: have an eight man box. They faked the toss rolling
Speaker 1: with a good block by Dante Pettis, clears him frozen
Speaker 1: right cock pringle at the thirty five down here the
Speaker 1: twenty nine yard line of Buffalo. All of that work great.
Speaker 1: They'll block on the outside. Really sprung it for Justin
Speaker 1: the come free at fire at twenty yards strike first
Speaker 1: down with the Bears inside the Buffalo thirty yard line
Speaker 1: of the opening drive. Welcome back to the Bears Coaches Show,
Speaker 1: our final segment. Later in this segment, we'll take a
Speaker 1: look at the Detroit Lions for round two. Here in
Speaker 1: the division as we went to we're talking about the
Speaker 1: humility and the confidence of a player. That often is
Speaker 1: not something you get out of rookies, especially when they
Speaker 1: quote unquote don't have the pedigree of a first, second,
Speaker 1: third round, day two pick in the NFL. Not everybody
Speaker 1: has that confidence. They may outwardly show it, but internally
Speaker 1: they don't have it. Brexon Jones definitely. Are there others? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: there are, And I think that's that's a great word,
Speaker 1: the confidence. You know, it's not cocky. Confidence in me
Speaker 1: and humble means that you're willing to work hard, but
Speaker 1: you also believe in yourself no matter what. And that's
Speaker 1: what humble to me means. It means you're you're a
Speaker 1: worker that you can look at your mistakes and you're
Speaker 1: mature enough and man enough to say, hey, I can
Speaker 1: get better at that, okay, but also have the confidence
Speaker 1: and say, hey, you know what, I have great ability
Speaker 1: and I'm able to get that done. I can overcome adversity.
Speaker 1: And Braxton Jones has done that, and that to me
Speaker 1: was what confidence and humility is all about. There's other
Speaker 1: guys that have done that too. You know, you got
Speaker 1: all the guys from even Justin Fields. You know, you know,
Speaker 1: he's out the year learning a new offense. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's all new verbiage to him. And he's done
Speaker 1: a great job of put packing that together, going from
Speaker 1: just learning his position to leading to others and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, taking that huge run
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. Um, you know, really
Speaker 1: you know, bursting onto the scene in the NFL. And
Speaker 1: now he's learning now hey, to how to lead, how
Speaker 1: to run the offense. And it's been tremendous growth by
Speaker 1: Justin Field. So, um, he's another guy that's got great confidence,
Speaker 1: great humility, and it's a great worker. All right. Then
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of others too. We'll talk about him
Speaker 1: here over the next couple of weeks. Talk to Ryan
Speaker 1: Poles every week in the pregame, keeping the units, some
Speaker 1: of the units together to build chemistry. It's just not
Speaker 1: you know, the offensive line obviously, but he talked about
Speaker 1: the chemistry in the secondary. He's one of those places
Speaker 1: because it's so young. Eddie Jackson also had a very
Speaker 1: good season before his injury. Is that important to you
Speaker 1: if there's a unit that has a lot of young talent,
Speaker 1: not that you want to don't want to add to it,
Speaker 1: but build that chemistry three for several years at one
Speaker 1: position group. Yeah, I think that's true because you know,
Speaker 1: obviously you just look at our draft from last year.
Speaker 1: You got Brisker and Gordon, you know, two high picks.
Speaker 1: Those guys are going to be a cornerstones of our secondary.
Speaker 1: Then you have Eddie, who's who's a Pro Bowl player
Speaker 1: and was having a Pro Bowl year up until his injury.
Speaker 1: Obviously he's a he's a really good player back there
Speaker 1: as well. So you have your two safeties, you got
Speaker 1: your nickel corner, and Gordon, you know, Jalen Johnson's coming back,
Speaker 1: you know. So there it is. You know. So again,
Speaker 1: we'll add a few more pieces there as we go,
Speaker 1: but the most important thing is to get the continuity
Speaker 1: with those guys, and those guys can be a very
Speaker 1: talented secondary, you know, going into the future. Um, so
Speaker 1: we're certainly excited about that. I want to talk about
Speaker 1: the Hits principle. Now. It's one thing to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna do, this is the Hits principle,
Speaker 1: But that thing needs constant attention, doesn't it. Now, Rod
Speaker 1: Marinelli always used to tell me from the fundamental and
Speaker 1: technique point of view. I believe he said forty eight
Speaker 1: to seventy two hours that you'll lose your muscle memory.
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta keep doing. And he believed in
Speaker 1: that whole hardly sit there in the office, show me
Speaker 1: why put it on a screen. You just can't put
Speaker 1: the principle out there and just say, Okay, that's it, guys,
Speaker 1: now go do it. You gotta nurture it forever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's got its First of all, it's never good enough,
Speaker 1: you know, so you're always chasing it. So it's it's
Speaker 1: an important part of it. So the hustle has always
Speaker 1: got to be better. The takeaways have always got to
Speaker 1: be better, The tackling has always got to be better.
Speaker 1: That's your mindset as a coach. So when you're looking
Speaker 1: at the tape and you're saying, this isn't good enough,
Speaker 1: we got to make it better. Because you could pick
Speaker 1: out a loaf on any play. I could do it
Speaker 1: on anybody's team from Peewee all the way up to
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I could every single play. I could
Speaker 1: take one out of there. Up, there's one, there's two
Speaker 1: there's three. So it's important that we're trying to get
Speaker 1: you know, we're chasing that. You know that that perfect play. Okay,
Speaker 1: if everybody hustle and everybody doing it the right way
Speaker 1: every single time. But that's important because what happens is
Speaker 1: you saw it the other day. We caused the fumble.
Speaker 1: Matt Adams caused that fumble and Elijah was right there
Speaker 1: because of the hustle, he was able to get on
Speaker 1: the ball before the opponent was as a hustle, and
Speaker 1: it's winning. That's a winning football is all about. And again,
Speaker 1: we have a chance to return, you know, the Gordon
Speaker 1: interception all the way to the thirty five and maybe
Speaker 1: go all the way if we just have a little
Speaker 1: bit more hustled there by a couple of pieces there,
Speaker 1: we can get a block that springs that run all
Speaker 1: the way back. And that's winning football. So it has
Speaker 1: to be done in practice every single day, every rep.
Speaker 1: The coaches have to watch that and pay attention to it.
Speaker 1: And you can never let it creep in where all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you don't see a team hustle and
Speaker 1: playing hard. Now it's time to look ahead. Brought to
Speaker 1: you by Bette Rivers, the official sports book partner of
Speaker 1: the Bears. Lions pounded by the Panthers. They ran for
Speaker 1: a franchise record three hundred and twenty yards in a
Speaker 1: league that now is running the football like crazy. Thirty
Speaker 1: seven to twenty three loss. But they're still playout biable
Speaker 1: until further notice, so they're going to be bringing it.
Speaker 1: What's your take after facing them in November and losing
Speaker 1: by it was a great game thirty one thirty. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's always gonna be a good game. Obviously divisional opponent,
Speaker 1: and again they're gonna be up for the game and
Speaker 1: start a week so we're excited about the matchup. We're
Speaker 1: excited about going up there to play these guys. Again,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talent on the team. They've been
Speaker 1: on a role, they've you know, I think they've lost
Speaker 1: two games out of the last seven or something like that,
Speaker 1: but they've they've done a nice job and the coaches
Speaker 1: have done a good job there. But again, it's more
Speaker 1: about our units playing their units and us doing a
Speaker 1: good job of matching up with those guys, and we're
Speaker 1: excited about it. The Lions. Just for those who are interested.
Speaker 1: Last in the NFL, and defending quarterback runs fields and
Speaker 1: one hundred forty seven against in Week ten at Soldier Field.
Speaker 1: Certainly this will be something they'll be putting on tape saying, Okay,
Speaker 1: we gotta do what somebody else did here and try
Speaker 1: and stab it. Yeah. Yes, certainly it's a copycat league.
Speaker 1: You know, something works, are gonna try to emulate that,
Speaker 1: and we understand that we're gonna have to be creative
Speaker 1: with how we do things on offense and defense. And
Speaker 1: one of the guys on their defense that has arisen
Speaker 1: lately is a six three round draft pick, James Houston.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been on that yet, but
Speaker 1: Aiden Hutchinson certainly is the main, main dude that they're
Speaker 1: talking about. But they have young players leading a free
Speaker 1: safety there and Joseph the kid from Illinois that has
Speaker 1: done a nice job. But they caught your attention even
Speaker 1: though they're last in the league in a lot of
Speaker 1: different candid distensively, I just though they play hard and
Speaker 1: if you look at the last games, you know, last
Speaker 1: several games, you know, and take out the first part
Speaker 1: of the year, they've done a really good job of
Speaker 1: defending the you know, the offenses. I think they've just
Speaker 1: over twenty points a game. I believe so, which has
Speaker 1: been best in that stretch. So they've done a good
Speaker 1: job of playing defense as of late. And lastly, eight
Speaker 1: game losing streak is tough for anybody. How is everybody
Speaker 1: taking it right now? Yeah? Like I said, you know,
Speaker 1: the guys are doing a really good job with the morale.
Speaker 1: We're coming out here with great championship habits, working every
Speaker 1: single day and the guys are excited about this week
Speaker 1: going up to Detroit. Thank you for your time, Appreciate it.
Speaker 1: It's always talk to you next week. Good luck this
Speaker 1: week in correct? All right? Thank you. That's Bears head
Speaker 1: coach Mattie Reflus, Keith Johnson, damn really, Jordan Trdup, thank
Speaker 1: you for your help. We're in Detroit'spard Field for Week seventeen.
