- Fox analyst Greg Olsen criticized Bears coach Ben Johnson for calling multiple timeouts to extend the game despite the lopsided score, questioning the cost of prolonging play in blowouts.
- Olsen explained that NFL teams have limited defensive backups available, making it impractical to remove all starters during a blowout, unlike in college football with larger rosters.
- The injury was described as a freak accident with no specific blame, highlighting the inherent risks of full-speed play in football.
