Welcome into First and Final Thoughts, one of our weekly columns with a title that's a little too on the nose. Here we'll have Insider J.J Stankevitz and Producers Cam Ellis and Paul Aspan give some insight into what's on their minds between games.
Final Thoughts on Week 10
J.J. Stankevitz: The final margin of 12 points in Sunday’s 34-22 win was not indicative of how close this game was. The Bears left too many points on the board thanks to Cody Parkey’s brutal game, and would’ve been up 41-10 midway through the third quarter had he made all his PATs and connected on field goal tries of 34 and 41 yards (the Bears, in this scenario, wouldn’t have gone for two after their final touchdown, too).
