·52 min·5 clips

How the Bears used a bootleg fake to freeze Jalen Phillips and create a massive untouched run against the Eagles.

The episode begins with Chris Simms and Connor Rogers introducing the main topics: a film breakdown of the Bears' run game against the Eagles and an interview with Bengals tackle Orlando Brown Jr. They immediately dive into the Bears-Eagles game, explaining how Chicago's offensive line, led by Darnell Wright, physically dominated Philadelphia's front. The analysis focuses on specific plays where misdirection and bootleg fakes created large running lanes, crediting offensive coordinator Ben Johnson's scheme. Simms notes the Eagles' defensive arrogance and reluctance to load the box contributed to the Bears' success. The conversation shifts to Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' accuracy issues, with Rogers quoting Ben Johnson's comments about the passing game needing improvement. After a break, Orlando Brown Jr. joins the show. He discusses his weight management routine, revealing he weighs between 355-358 pounds and shares a humorous story about a teammate struggling to make weight. Brown talks about the Bengals' season, describing the impact of Joe Burrow's wrist injury and the team's initial struggles with Jake Browning at quarterback. He explains how Joe Flacco provided a spark and shares the locker room's mixed feelings about Burrow's potential early return. Brown compares facing elite pass rushers Miles Garrett, Micah Parsons, and TJ Watt, praising Garrett's all-around impact. He also mentions his preference for the Protector of the Year award, naming Quentin Nelson and Darnell Wright as contenders. The hosts then preview Week 14 matchups through a 'What's More Likely' game. They debate whether Jonathan Taylor will rush for over 100 yards against the Jaguars' top run defense, the Bears' rushing output against the Packers, touchdown passes for Jared Goff versus Dak Prescott, Patrick Mahomes' passing yards against the Texans, and A.J. Brown's receiving yards against the Chargers. Simms and Rogers disagree on some picks, adding tension to the predictions. The episode concludes with reminders about their weekly schedule and calls for subscriptions.
