## Resource

In the final hour, David Haugh and Jarrett Payton were joined by NFL Network/ESPN senior reporter Stacey Dales to discuss Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' development and Chicago's 59-37 win against Carolina on Sunday in its season opener. After that, Cubs pitching coach Tommy Hottovy joined the show to discuss his staff's recent woes, notably in a bullpen that doesn't have consistency, answers or a set hierarchy as the start of the playoffs loom. Can the Cubs get their issues sorted out in time to make a deep playoff run?
