After catching up with Thor, Dan and Matt turn their attention to one of the more intriguing developments at Halas Hall.

Is Gordon truly ready to return, or are the Bears sending a message by designating him as a full participant?

Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola dive into the early-season numbers behind the Bears defense and its ability to pressure opposing quarterbacks. While it's still a small sample size, the improvement from last season is impossible to ignore. The pass rush may not ultimately define this defense, but it's an encouraging trend that could signal a unit beginning to find its footing.

The guys also examine the quarterback decision facing Ben Johnson heading into Week 4. After Case Keenum's impressive performance against Philadelphia, does the veteran get another start, or is it time for Tyson Bagent to take over? Plus, Dan and Matt preview five key storylines to watch as the Bears travel to New York for a matchup with the Jets.
