What a strange emotional roller coaster it’s been as a Chicago Bears fan since Week 1. We went from watching one of the highest-scoring games in Bears history to Caleb Williams moving up the oddsmakers’ MVP lists, only to score 3 points against the Minnesota Vikings. The Williams injury was its own roller coaster, with our worst fears in the moment giving way to a week-to-week announcement, coupled with the ridiculous discourse from some content creators around the NFLsphere. Then this week’s injury report has QB2 Tyson Bagent listed, which has 38-year-old Case Keenum in line to start for the first time in years!On the latest Mac & Read Show, Evan McLean and Ross Read will get into everything that went down over the last week, while looking ahead to Monday Night Football and the Philadelphia Eagles.
