Welcome back, Bleacher Bums! We've made history in this podcast's five-year run: The Chicago Bears are now the NFC #1 seed! This victory over the Eagles is called the team's "first true signature win" since the 2018 season, proving this roster is now fundamentally built on "physicality and the run game".

We dive deep into how the 9-3 Bears shockingly ran for nearly 300 yards and became the defense to finally STOP the Eagles' Tush Push. Plus, we cover the massive fallout from NFL Week 14, predict division winners, and drop some spicy coaching hot takes.
