“They were great. You have such a quick result after such a loss as [Sunday’s to the Ravens]and now that’s all. The only thing we can do is focus on the present moment and do our best. Thursday is coming soon. “
Added to this were earlier comments from a local podcast featuring Jordan Schultz, who previously partnered with Bears receiver Allen Robinson, detailing how most players opposed their coach.
