Bearing It All with Mark and Chris

Rocky at Soldier Field: The Throw, The Lesson, The Future

In our Season 3 finale of Bearing It All with Mark and Chris, we unpack the gut-punch ending to the Chicago Bears’ magical 2025–2026 run, a 20–17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams at a snowy, electric Soldier Field. We relive the moment that shook the stadium. Caleb Williams drifting 26.5 yards behind the line of scrimmage and launching a jaw-dropping fourth-down touchdown to Cole Kmet. The kind of throw that feels impossible until you see it happen. From there, we break down what went right, what went wrong, and why this game felt like Rocky. Even in defeat, the Bears proved they belong, and the future is brighter than it has been in decades. We debate the biggest turning points, including fourth-down decisions, red-zone misses, the overtime interception, and the DJ Moore route controversy. We dig into the national conversation about Caleb’s style of play and whether highlight throws can coexist with long-term greatness. We also zoom out on what this season meant for Chicago Bears fans who have been waiting their entire lives for real hope. Plus, we react to the season-ending press conference with Ben Johnson and Ryan Poles, focusing on the calm confidence, the accountability, and the clear belief that this team is only getting started. Final episode of the season. Raw emotions. Hard lessons. A future worth believing in. Bear Down.
