Coach Talk

Bears 85
Good job deploying a lineup that won by over 101 points this past week. We deem that to be a job done right. Let's keep this momentum as we step into our Week 2 matchup.
xdogg R
Just three field goals on five attempts? Sounds like Greg Zuerlein should reevaluate his pre-kick process following that sort of performance.
