Bears

Bears TE Colston Loveland made an appearance on Bussin’ With The Boys last week and discussed the rivalries he’s experienced at Michigan and now in Chicago.

“As far as like, in the building, ‘What are you doing to beat Ohio State every day?’ That was where [the rivalry] was in Michigan. Every TV, everything. That’s how it is at the Bears,” Loveland said. “Everyone’s only talking about the Packers. You can’t go a day without talking about them, talking about beating them, talking about the bad things. So, it’s very comparable [to Michigan].”

Packers

Packers LB Isaiah McDuffie feels the team has the pieces to make it to win a Super Bowl and only needs to focus on finishing games when they have the lead.

“I think we’ve got everything we need,” McDuffie said on NFL Network. “At the end of the day, it’s just finishing. Getting late in the season, just finishing those games when we are up on guys, just putting the nail in the coffin.”

Vikings

Ed Easton Jr. spoke with Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell, who admitted that his team is still trying to perfect the dynamic of the quarterback group.

“I think the quarterback room is such a unique place where those guys put so much time in meeting time, the official meeting time is a lot, as much as we can have them,” O’Connell said. “But it’s those organic times where they’re in the room, whether they’re getting ahead on the game plan or studying different aspects of the game, third down, red zone, two-minute, whatever it might be.”

“I tell our guys all the time that quarterback rooms got to be the hub of so much communication to our team, both from an X’s and O’s standpoint in the huddle, how we run our offense,” O’Connell added. “But also all three of those guys have really unique traits to be great teammates and part of the leadership that helps our team try to chase whatever our ceiling might be for this season, and I’m excited about that.”
