Bears' Mack explains weird dog poop quote
Khalil Mack has provided an explanation for the strange analogy he used to describe how he felt following the Chicago Bears' third straight win.
Speaking after the Bears' 16-6 victory over the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings, Mack compared the team's winning streak to a dog pooping.
"A dog that poops fast don't poop for long," the Bears linebacker said.
That's one way to put it π

Mack said on Tuesday that he's received a lot of questions about his quote.
"Everybody keeps asking me what that means," he told reporters, according to Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune.
The analogy, Mack explained, dates back to when Jethro Franklin, his former defensive line coach with the Oakland Raiders, would gather his players and show them clips of their sacks from the previous game.
"He didn't say 'poop,'" Mack said. "But I had to kind of make it PG-rated."
He continued: "It really means that anybody can start fast. Bit it's about the whole race. You know what I'm saying? It's the whole season. Being consistent."
The race continues for Mack and the Bears with a matchup against the Raiders on Sunday at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
