Caleb's Late Game Heroics Saves Bears Nov 10, 2025

Show notes

Caleb Williams led the Chicago Bears to a thrilling 24-20 victory over the visiting New York Giants at Soldier Field. The second-year QB showed poise and playmaking ability, delivering clutch throws and using his legs to score the game-winning touchdown. Williams continues to grow under Ben Johnson.

On defense, CJ Gardner-Johnson was electric—racking up two sacks and forcing a fumble. His performance puts him squarely in the conversation for NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

Elsewhere in college football, the Heisman Trophy race is heating up, with Indiana’s QB making a strong case at the top of the watch list.

We also dive into the NBA gambling scandal that’s gone strangely quiet, hear from Pat Fitzgerald for the first time since his settlement with Northwestern, and ask: should he coach again in college football?

Plus, Kiké Hernández shares his side of the story after the amazing Andy Pages catch in the World Series. And we wrap up with thoughts on the new John Candy documentary I Like Me.
