Windy City Gridiron: for Chicago Bears fans

Jeff and EJ take over instant reaction pod duties this week and they drew a fun one. The Bears finally beat Tom Brady on the strength of Khalil Mack's big game and Kyle Fuller's forced fumble.

The guys talk all that and more over tasty beverages, including this week's comeback cocktail!...

After starting the season 3-0, the Bears dropped their first game of the year to the Indianapolis Colts in a doozy that saw the Bears' offense get flummoxed, flustered, and frazzled by a very good Colts defense.

As the Chicago Bears took on the Atlanta Falcons, a change at quarterback seemed to spark new life in an otherwise flagging offense -- Nick Foles came in from off the bench to lead an extraordinary comeback that saw the Bears improve to 3-0.
