A win would’ve been nice, but it was still the greatest night of my football life. It’s the moment that I will always remember when the real reason for football clicked in. Football isn’t just a game played with a ball on a field. It’s not just 3-D chess with men colliding. It’s human connection. It’s family genetics. It’s an allegiance passed from generation to generation. I witnessed my son standing in the same place that I stand, screaming at a black square with color pixels for an orange and blue team as if somehow his cries could affect the outcome of the game. Last night was the night that I knew I had done my real job as a Bears fan. I pass the game to the next generation. I shared a forever loyalty. He is fully on his way on a life time journey or highs and lows, love and loss, passion and grit, strategy and might, joy and disappointment. And when the day comes where my son and I are at an impasse. We can always talk about the Bears.
Watching @CALEBcsw and the @ChicagoBears this season has been an unexpected joy.
The memory of this overtime loss will fade. But Caleb throws like this one are the stuff of legends.
Good things ahead!!
What a heartbreaker. Bears had that game just within reach.
Unbelievable season, though. Some of the most clutch football I’ve ever seen. This team will be back.
@CALEBcsw what an incredible amazing season so far. You should be very proud as should the entire @ChicagoBears team, coaches and management. This is only your 2nd year & you are only going to get better. Keep leading. Ben Johnson keep building your dynasty team. Now go beat the @RamsNFL. Go Bears and
