Welcome to the debut episode of the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast, presented by Obvious Shirts. Hosts Patrick Flowers, Matt Rooney, and Luis Medina break down the Bears’ 31-14 win over the Cowboys at Soldier Field, giving Ben Johnson his first victory as head coach. Caleb Williams delivered arguably the best performance of his young career, throwing four touchdowns to four different receivers while avoiding a single sack.

The defense allowed just one touchdown in what felt like one of the most complete efforts the team has shown in years. Still, the running game struggled, with D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai both held under three yards per carry. The guys discuss what this game tells us about Caleb’s growth under Johnson — whether he’s turned the corner from promising prospect to really good quarterback — and what it means for the season ahead.
