Hamp & O’B: The kick that stayed in Vegas

Dan Hampton, Ed O’Bradovich, and Andy Masur react to the Chicago Bears’ 25-24 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

D’Andre Swift scored on a 2-yard touchdown run to put the Bears (2-2) ahead with 1:34 to go. Geno Smith’s Raiders (1-3) got into position for Daniel Carlson to attempt a 54-yard field goal with 38 seconds on the clock. Josh Blackwell came flying in off the edge to block the kick and seal the game for Chicago.

Caleb Williams had another solid outing for the Bears, totaling 212 yards and a touchdown pass to Rome Odunze. Williams led the team down the field twice on second-half drives to take the lead.

The Bears’ defense was exceptional in the turnovers department, intercepting Geno Smith three times, including two from Kevin Byard III, as well as a fumble.

The Bears have a bye week coming up before traveling to the nation’s capital for a game against the Washington Commanders on Monday, Oct. 13. The pregame show will air from 6-7 pm, with the postgame show from 11:00 pm-12:30 am.
