🎙Football Date Night: Bear Down, Chicago Bears
Melissa and Dave are back and can’t stop talking about the Chicago Bears’ masterful performance over the Rams. They point out the weaknesses in the Rams (beyond playing in the cold), break down the Bears top-to-bottom defensive domination and contemplate whether or not 60-year-old Vic Fangio should be a high-end head coaching candidate. Turns out there’s a lot of ageism out there.
The duo then marvel at the Miracle in Miami including how the fact that it happened against New England has temporarily unified the NFL community and why it was so much better than any hail Mary. Also discussed in the episode: Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ incredible win over the Ravens. Why the Ravens defense is scary. The coup of Amari Cooper. And finally, the toilet bowl that is the Washington.
