Carmen and Jurko get ready for Bears-Patriots on Thursday Night Football as Soldier Field prepares to honor Mike Ditka with a stadium-wide celebration. The guys examine Chicago's injury advantage, Jonah Jackson's encouraging status and whether Caleb Williams versus Drake Maye could become the NFL's next great quarterback rivalry. With Bears fans feeling confident, Carmen and Jurko debate Chicago's playoff potential, the improvement of Dennis Allen's defense and how New England might counter Kyler Gordon's devastating blitzes. Plus, the guys react to Adam Amin's touching tribute to Stacey King before unloading on the Bulls' disastrous season-opening loss to the Raptors.
