The Chicago Smokehouse

Previewing the Bears and Rams in the NFL Playoffs


Listen Later

Big John Howell and Rick Telander break down the Bears’ cold-weather showdown with the Rams, from Caleb Williams’ late-game magic to the realities of facing a veteran like Matthew Stafford at Soldier Field. They dig into what makes this Bears team so dangerous in the fourth quarter, the matchups that could decide the game, and why fans have learned not to turn it off early. The conversation then shifts to college football, where Indiana’s improbable run sparks a candid discussion about NIL money, the transfer portal, and the new pro reality of the sport.
