It was reported on Wednesday afternoon that FBI agents had raided Halas Hall, the official headquarters of the NFL’s Chicago Bears, as well as the home of the team’s defensive coordinator, Alan Willliams.

It’s certainly a chaotic day in the Bears’ organization. Quarterback Justin Fields made comments about his “robotic” play, which many interpreted as his way of calling out the organization’s coaches.
