Packers Beat Bears: Big Smirk Energy | Cheesehead Radio #394 celebrates Green Bay’s 31–7 win over Chicago, Jordan Love’s award-winning performance and Matt LaFleur’s understated answer to Ben Johnson. C.D. Angeli, Jersey Al Bracco and Kelly Hodgson break down the Bears beatdown and preview Packers vs. Cowboys on Sunday Night Football at Lambeau Field.
Ben brought the sound bites. Matt brought a football team. For once, Packers fans got to enjoy the fourth quarter without negotiating with a higher power.
Love threw for 367 yards as Christian Watson and Matthew Golden turned Chicago’s secondary into an excellent place to practice catching touchdowns. Even an offensive pass interference flag couldn’t spoil the afternoon: Green Bay simply threw another one. The crew debates how much improved protection unlocked the offense—and whether this performance can become something more dependable than a pleasant surprise.
Jonathan Gannon’s defense delivered five takeaways, Xavier McKinney rediscovered his interception collection, and the offensive line earned the highest compliment available this season: please don’t change anything unnecessarily.
There’s still plenty to discuss beneath the satisfied expressions: Minnesota’s NFC North lead, Trey Smack’s missed kicks, Micah Parsons’ recovery, Josh Jacobs’ uncertain availability and Dallas bringing Mike Pettine aboard. Kelly handles the injury report before the crew examines Dak Prescott’s weapons, the struggling running games and special teams that could swing Sunday’s matchup.
Then the Hot Pockets arrive. Al celebrates Love’s deep-ball precision, Kelly raises the weekly expectations, and C.D. reminds James Jones that beating Chicago twice isn’t Green Bay’s championship plan.
Enjoy the smirk. Keep the standards. The Lombardi Trophy isn’t awarded at the postgame handshake.
