Monday, September 30, 2024 • Duration 34:03

As you may know, NBC Sports Chicago’s 20-year run serving Chicago’s passionate fans, its partners, and community is coming to a close on Monday, Sept. 30.

They reflect on the return of Keenan Allen (13:45) and continue to address the team's ongoing offensive line struggles (15:30). The defense stepped up against Matthew Stafford.
