Bears 23, Jets 12: After The Whistle and a goal-line running back debate

Reacting to the Bears' 23-12 win over the Jets | After The Whistle
Seven hours after it went up, FOX 32 Chicago's reaction to the Bears' 23-12 win over the Jets had passed 15,000 views. A new regular video from the station usually ends its whole first day at around 1,300.
After The Whistle is the station's postgame talk segment, and the description keeps it simple: "The Bears." This was a game worth talking about. A companion segment from Chicago Sports Tonight notes that Tyson Bagent was the third quarterback the Bears have played this year, and that the defense was the part worth arguing over.
The comments have plenty to argue about. The most liked one praises Dayo Odeyingbo and credits defensive coordinator Dennis Allen for moving him inside. The longest thread is about running backs: one of the hosts said D'Andre Swift was given a breather after his fumble, several viewers agree, and others say that on a goal-line stand they would hand it to Kyle Monangai every time. Someone counted only one pre-snap penalty in 89 plays. Several viewers say a stats graphic around the three-minute mark does not add up. And one admits to hoping for 21-12, as a nod to Rush.
The station turned Sunday into a Bears day, from an "Orange Sunday" takeover of Good Day Chicago to a Game Night Live recap. None of those came close to this short reaction segment.

What viewers say
Shout out to Dayo Odeyingbo. He has been balling this year. I think DA moving him inside is paying off. Bear down!
@TyroilSmoochieWallace1989See it on YouTubeGreat game! Was hoping for 21-12 given Rush is actively touring!
@danwentzSee it on YouTubeLove both RBs but they both got different styles - but if I need to get thru a brick wall goal line stand I think Kyle is better at it.
