Cue Herb Brooks’ speech before Team USA’s game against the Russians in the movie ‘Miracle.’ Host Ryan O’Leary and Bears Wire editor Alyssa Barbieri discuss the team’s chances at shocking the Packers, and what a playoff berth would mean for the futures of guys like Trubisky, head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace.
