With the division in hand, the Bears will face off against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday with playoff seeding in the balance. It is still possible for […]
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported early on Sunday morning that San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is “highly unlikely” to play tonight against the Chicago Bears. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Kittle will give it a go pre-game to see if he can play. Ricky Pearsall, who is also listed as questionable, is “likely to […]
1947 In what was a game played later in the year than any NFL contest ever, the Chicago Cardinals won the NFL title, 28-21, over the Philadelphia Eagles at Comiskey Park. The club went 9-3 on the season, one that saw them go an undefeated 5-0 at home (yeah, just five home games, seven road, […]

The 49ers are riding a five-game winning streak heading into Sunday’s game, but face one of the hottest teams in […]
To follow up the intro from Saturday’s BN Bears Bullets lead-in: My first pho experience was great. Tremendous. I’m sure I’ll like it more once I get the hang of using chop sticks. In case you missed it: The Chicago Bears are the 2025 NFC North champs ! And in doing so, they became the 20th team to put up a one-year worst-to-first turnaround in the last 23 years. Because I’m sure you’re curious, the Bears have done it three times (2005, 2018, 2025). More history: Did you know t...
Fresh off the snapping of a six-game losing streak, the Hawks are back home on Sunday night to host the Pittsburgh Penguins. Somehow, in the year 2025, a preview involving this Pittsburgh franchises still requires writing the names Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, as all three remain key contributors for the team despite Crosby and Letang being 38 and Malkin being 39. Perhaps that reliance on older players — don’t forget about 35-year-old Erik Karlsson, either — also explains...
Tonight’s Sunday Night Football matchup is a massive one! The Bears are battling for a shot at the top seed in the NFC after clinching the NFC North, and the 49ers still have playoff seeding at stake as well prior to today’s slate kicking off. Who will come out on top in Santa Clara? Let’s take a look at some odds, props, and more for tonight’s game. Dec 7, 2025; Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA; Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (18) warms up before the game against the Gr...
This one’s pretty easy, because it says “Jackie Robinson Day, April 15, 2007” on the message board beneath the Wrigley Field scoreboard. Credit again goes to BCB reader Clark Addison. In fact, it’s the very first Jackie Robinson Day, and Griffey was the player most responsible for making that happen. April 15, 2007 was the […]
It wasn’t just what Ryan Poles said in his opening presser as Chicago Bears general manager, but the moment immediately following his last word that stuck with me: “We’re going to take the North and never give it back,” he said, followed by a flipping of the page as he continued his remarks. In reality, […]
DA BEARS ARE THE NFC NORTH CHAMPIONS . That’s not the end goal in a season that has become as compelling as this one, but it’s absolutely something you want to achieve when the year starts. And something very few would’ve predicted back in September. So I’m gonna smile about it. (Now go get that number one seed …. ) We’ll have more analysis on the Hunter Harvey signing , because, like I said, I love the potential upside there. Here, though, I wanted to talk about the various implication...

When the Blackhawks selected forward Nathan Behm in the third round (No. 66 overall) in the 2025 NHL Draft, I was intrigued. He was a prospect going into the draft that some analysts thought had the potential to be an early second round pick. In his pre-draft season, Behm scored 31 goals with 35 assists in 56 games for a team that wasn’t in the playoff race. When he slid in the draft, it was surprising. And I was excited the Blackhawks selected him. The more highlights I watched and ...

The 49ers are coming off a rousing 48-27 Monday night victory against the Indianapolis Colts and look to continue that momentum into their […]
It was fun while it lasted. I’ve snapped back to reality, ope, there goes Chicago’s five-game win streak. Last night, in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Bulls slipped back under .500, and the way the game ended left a bitter taste. But hey, we’re back at it on Monday. Let’s talk Bulls basketball. The Bulls lost 112–103 on the second night of a back-to-back, falling to a Milwaukee Bucks team that welcomed back its star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, for the first time since December 3. ...
Sitting with an 11-4 record heading into Week 17, the Bears have had the greatest turnaround in the NFC and one of the greatest in the NFL compared to last season. It’s no surprise, then, that members of their coaching staff could be high in demand for promotions when the year ends. In a Saturday […]
Let’s talk a little more about last night’s exciting 4-3 shootout win in Dallas . Nick Lardis only skated 10:16 in regulation and overtime, during which he was credited with two shots on net, one (big, timely) blocked shot and three hits. When the Blackhawks called his name to be the fourth shooter in the skills competition with a chance to win the game, he came thru against one of the best goalies in the league. Another look at the Lardis snipe https://t.co/TZXa86Flcj pic.twitter.com/6O7...
