Bears’ Playoff Run Comes to an End

Ruthie Polinsky and Clay Harbor have you covered on the roller-coaster finish between the Bears and Rams, starting with Caleb Williams delivering a clutch strike to Cole Kmet to force overtime. In the extra session, however, a costly miscue swings the outcome and sets up the Rams’ victory. They then zoom out to the bigger picture, including a “Wired In” look at Williams’ performance, Ben Johnson’s bold offensive line shuffle that held up under pressure, and a Bears defense that stood tall against a potent Rams attack. The episode wraps with a wide-ranging “What’s Trending” segment, touching on coaching carousel buzz and a quick spin around the league as conference championship storylines come into focus.
