Season 16, Episode 53 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Friday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they prepare to play the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field.
Alex and I start this show by looking at the Steelers’ Thursday injury report, and specifically what the current outlook is for QB Aaron Rodgers, RB Jaylen Warren, and OLB Alex Highsmith. We discuss the contraption that Rodgers wore on his injured left wrist on Thursday and how he reportedly looked as a limited practice participant.
We move from Pittsburgh’s injury report heading into Friday to look briefly at the injuries Chicago is dealing with.
On Thursday, we once again heard from two of the Steelers’ coordinators, Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin, so Alex and I recap the main talking points to come out of those media sessions. We discuss Smith possibly adding a wrinkle to the team’s version of the tush push, how he feels about using RB Jaylen Warren and RB Kenneth Gainwell in any situation, and what it would take for rookie RB Kaleb Johnson to get more touches moving forward.
As for Austin’s Thursday comments, we discuss what he had to say about CB Cory Trice Jr. now being out for the rest of the season. We also talk about what Austin had to say about OLBs Nick Herbig and Jack Sawyer. We also go over Austin’s thoughts on preparing to defend against Bears QB Caleb Williams on Sunday in Chicago.
We welcome Adam Hoge of All City as a first timer to the show on Friday, and he helps us preview the Steelers-Bears game. Hoge has covered the Bears for many seasons, and he certainly knows that team inside and out. We get his thoughts on several things related to the Sunday afternoon game in Chicago and that includes his analysis of Williams and first-year Bears HC Ben Johnson.
Adam fills us in on the Bears’ injuries, how CB Jaylon Johnson might be back this week and the impact that could potentially have. We also get his thoughts on Rodgers potentially playing on Sunday against the Bears, a team that he has a lot of history and success against dating back to when he was the Green Bay Packers’ quarterback.
Adam talks about the Bears’ offense and defense quite a bit in this interview, and we get his not-yet-set-in-stone prediction for the Sunday game at the end of the interview.

After finishing with Hoge, Alex and I provide our own preview of the Steelers-Bears game. We break down what we are looking for out of each team on both sides of the football Sunday afternoon.
Alex and I then give our picks against the spread for the remainder of the Week 12 NFL games provided by show sponsor MyBookie.ag. We also give our final score predictions for the Steelers-Bears game.
This 135-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted above and we end this episode by answering several emails we received from listeners.
