Bear & Balanced: Bears caught in a Buffalo stampede

The Chicago Bears lost another one to drop their record to (3-12), and that keeps their hopes for a top-three draft pick alive. They hung with the Buffalo Bills as long as possible, but Buffalo’s 29 second-half points allowed them to coast to victory.

There were a few positive moments for Jeff Berckes and me to discuss on this week’s Bear & Balanced, but I’m sure the scales will tilt the other way on occasion a couple of times too.

Join us in the embed below or head over to our 2nd City Gridiron YouTube channel at 6:00 p.m. (CT), where we'll answer your questions after the show!

Here's our usual bullet point outline of Bear & Balanced.

• Caught up in a numbers game: This segment has us featuring one number/statistic that we found interesting from the game.
• The Fields Report: We talk about quarterback Justin Fields before we take our commercial break.
• The 3 Bears: You all know the story of the Three Bears, so in this porridge-themed portion of the show, we give our picks for the Bear that was hot, the Bear that was cold, and the Bear that was just right in the game against the Bills.
