Column: When will the NFL and TV networks learn to stop putting the Chicago Bears in prime time?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:57:42 GMT

A bad case of Collinsworth fatigue set in late Sunday during the fourth quarter of the Chicago Bears’ 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.A weekend of listening to NBC “Sunday Night Football” analyst Cris Collinsworth and his soundalike son, Jac, will do that. Both are competent announcers but are best used in limited doses. Jac’s ascension to play-by-play man for Notre Dame home games on NBC makes a Collinsworth family weekend inevitable for some of us, and too much Collinsworth is seldom a good thing.It was almost a given that Cris Collinsworth would spend most of Sunday night talking about quarterback Tyson Bagent, the only Bears player remotely worth discussing. This was a dog game on the “SNF” schedule, one of those unfortunate occurrences that happens whenever some TV executive thinks the Bears have turned a corner.You would think they have learned their lesson by now. According to Tribune reporter Dan Wiederer, the Bears have lost seven ...
