‘It’s insane’: Cole Kmet has an important message for Bears fans  NBC 5 Chicago

With the Bears playing yet another game at Soldier Field this weekend, Cole Kmet has a message for hometown fans — and it's an important one.

Fans got so excited, Kmet said players had a hard time hearing each other on offense. “P.S.A. to the fans: They need to be quiet when we’re on offense,” Kmet told the Chicago Sun-Times.

“It is ridiculous. It’s insane. I appreciate the energy, but take note from Minnesota how quiet it is when their guys are on offense.” Kmet said he tried signaling fans at the game, but it didn't stop the roar. He said he appreciates the enthusiasm, and encouraged fans to bring that same energy when the team is on defense, but noted it can hinder the team's offensive communication. Fans are encouraged to "make noise" during defensive plays at the stadium, but announcements are often made asking fans to keep it down during offensive plays.
