Patrick Flowers, Matt Rooney, and Luis Medina celebrate the Bears’ overtime win over the Packers, D.J. Moore’s walk-off touchdown, Montez Sweat’s impact, rising playoff odds, and preview a massive matchup against the 49ers.
The Bears pull off one of the most thrilling wins in recent memory, beating the Packers 22-16 in overtime at Soldier Field, capped by a 46-yard D.J. Moore walk-off touchdown, and the crew breaks it all down on the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast, presented by Obvious Shirts.
Hosts Patrick Flowers, Matt Rooney, and Luis Medina recap a game Bears fans won’t soon forget. Patrick gets his moment after a win that immediately enters the conversation for the most satisfying Bears victories in years. The guys hand out game balls — with Luis giving his to Montez Sweat — and reflect on just how complete this team has become in big moments.
The playoff picture continues to brighten. The Athletic’s playoff simulator now gives the Bears a 75% chance to host a Wild Card game and a 14% chance to land the No. 1 seed, prompting a discussion about how high this season’s ceiling might actually be.
They close by looking ahead to Niners week, airing out any lingering concerns, making predictions, and having some fun with a holiday-themed question — including Luis’s wish to gift Kyle Monangai Matt Forte’s hands. The episode wraps with thoughts on stadium developments, more D.J. Moore appreciation, and one Bear who deserves an extension sooner rather than later.
