10/15 9AM: Is 31 Points Enough Against Atlanta?

Carmen and Shea Norling open Thursday by asking whether the Bears will need to win a shootout against the Falcons as Caleb Williams and Michael Penix trend toward returning for Week 6. The guys discuss Atlanta’s dangerous rushing attack, Chicago’s depleted defense and whether scoring 31 points will be enough to get a road win. They also debate Montez Sweat’s value during his suspension, compare him to Leonard Floyd and question why the Bears lack a true defensive game-wrecker. Callers weigh in on the pass rush, the importance of generating pressure instead of relying on turnovers and whether the Bears can bounce back from their ugly loss to the Packers. Plus, the guys have some fun with the upcoming Bears-themed Hallmark movie and discuss Troy Aikman’s uncertain broadcasting future, Pat McAfee, Joe Buck and the state of NFL television coverage.
