Chris Lempesis is back in the basement Packer room, beer in hand and heart still pounding, to recap the Green Bay Packers’ gritty 28–21 win over the Chicago Bears — a game where this young Packers squad showed, beyond any doubt, that they’re growing up before our very eyes .
Lemps walks listeners through the emotional rollercoaster of the fourth quarter, including Chicago’s soul-draining 17-play drive, the moment Lambeau Field felt like it stopped breathing, and the exact instant where the Packers flipped the script and played true championship-level complementary football.
He breaks down Jordan Love shaking off an early interception and settling into full command of the offense, firing darts, running the show, and proving he has officially grown up as this team’s QB1 . He relives Josh Jacobs’ monstrous, physics-defying third-and-two run — the one that looked dead on arrival until Jacobs cut back, broke four tackles, steamrolled a safety, and dragged Green Bay into scoring position through sheer willpower.
Then Chris shifts to the defensive stand of the season: Kingsley Enagbare blowing up third-and-one, Edrin Cooper sealing the edge, and Keisean Nixon — chaotic, maddening, fearless, wonderful Keisean Nixon — stepping in front of Cole Kmet for the game-clinching interception that sent the Bears packing and Lambeau into orbit .
Lemps explains exactly why wins like Detroit and Chicago don’t just feel different — they are different. This is what a team looks like when it learns how to finish games. When it refuses to blink. When it discovers how good it really is. When it grows up.
He also grabs a few early questions for Tuesday night’s mailbag, touches briefly on officiating, Micah Parsons’ WWE treatment, the play-calling glow-up, offensive line dominance, and Green Bay’s improbable rise back to the top of the NFC North.
If you want passion, humor, analysis, and a whole lot of “Bears still suck,” this is the episode. Packers fans — buckle up. This season is getting fun.
