  Week 3 is here, and the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast is trying to turn the page from a frustrating Week 2 before a tough matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Hosts Luis Medina, Patrick Flowers, and Matt Rooney briefly revisit what went wrong last week, including the problems Brian Flores’ defense created for Chicago and what the Bears can learn from another difficult offensive showing.

From there, attention shifts to the Bears’ Week 3 X-factors, with penalties at the top of the list.
