I discussed Bears v. Dolphins at length with my pal Trent Condon in Des Moines. Here is the audio. (Editing is a bit dicey but all the Dolphins stuff is secured.)

STATISTICAL CHECK-IN

• When is the last time the Bears, six games through a season, had someone in the top ten in the league in passing yards (Cutler-4th), rushing yards (Forte-7th), catches (Forte-1st), receiving yards (Jeffery-T6th), sacks (Willie-1st) and interceptions (Fuller-T1st)? This season may be laden with individual errors but it also has been defined by exceptional individual performances to this point.
• Have you looked at Jay Cutler’s numbers these days? He’s completing 68.1% of his passes for 1,676 yards, 13 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. Two of the three quarterbacks ahead of him in yardage have thrown more interceptions and all three have been sacked AT LEAST five times less.
• Through six games the Bears are tenth in the league against the run. Last year they ranked 431st.

On with my friends in Des Moines, discussing what Sunday’s night victory means, what the Bears will face next and why Greg Hardy and Adrian Peterson should not be playing football for the foreseeable future.

A little different conversation with Trent than normal as we discuss the whole of the NFL, not just the Chicago Bears.

The schedule comes out tomorrow night at 7 pm CT and I’ll have a full reaction column up soon after the release.
