Are the Bears LEGIT NFC contenders? 👀
Among the sports channels near its size, NFL on CBS stands out right now. The Raptors, the Maple Leafs and NBC Sports Philadelphia are all running below their usual pace, and this channel is running above its own.
Much of that comes from one 'Set, Hut!' episode. "Are the Bears LEGIT NFC contenders?" passed 25,000 views within ten hours, a strong start for one of the channel's longer videos. The question suits Kyle Long, who spent his whole Pro Bowl career on Chicago's offensive line before joining Russell Wilson on the Tuesday show. The two talk about Ben Johnson, the play-caller Chicago hired away from Detroit, and look ahead to the next game against Green Bay.
The comment section is also moving faster than usual. In ten hours it nearly doubled what a whole first day normally brings. Much of the talk is about football: several viewers say their answer depends on Caleb Williams being under center, one wants a pass rusher brought in, and one says a win over the Packers would settle it. Just as many comments are about the hosts. Some praise the chemistry, and others ask Wilson to let Long finish his points.
The Bears theme reaches past this episode. A Short called "Ben Johnson? Psychopath" was clipped from the same show, and the channel's "contenders or pretenders" Short went past 90,000 views in its first day and a quarter.

Y'all got great chemistry. Definitely going to watch more of this
@novivoSee it on YouTubeKyle with the great patience
@stevestanley9508See it on YouTubeIf the Bears beat the Packers, no offense to the Eagles and Jets but I can feel confident in them being legitimate contenders. It’s not going to be a good Monday if they lose to the Packers, no matter who is at quarterback.
