The Chicago Bears moved to 8-3 on Sunday, knocking off the Pittsburgh Steelers at Soldier Field. Caleb Williams, a dynamic rookie class, and Dennis Allen’s never-say-never defense were the story. Before we turn the page to the Steelers’ Pennsylvania neighbors, the Philadelphia Eagles, let’s tip our caps to the stars of Chicago’s Week 12 victory in this week’s Good, Better, Best.
Good: Caleb Williams
Williams threw for 239 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions, posting a 104...

Steelers defensive tackle Daniel Ekuale has been suspended five games for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Gerry Dulac reported Tuesday. Ekuale is currently on injured reserve following an ACL injury he suffered against the Green Bay Packers. He’ll still be able to serve his suspension while on IR, but he’ll miss […]
I hope Montez Sweat gets serious consideration for NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts in the Chicago Bears’ Week 12 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sweat stuffed the stat sheet to the tune of 2 sacks, 3 solo tackles, 3 tackles-for-loss, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and 2 quarterback hits. Heck, I think Montez Sweat would have been a virtual lock for NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors had he picked up a third sack, but Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolp...
The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Cornell Powell to their practice squad, the team announced on Tuesday. Powell was drafted in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Clemson, where he had a terrific senior season. He caught 53 passes for 882 yards and seven touchdowns in […]
One of the best Pittsburgh Steelers of this century is once again on the cusp of having his career forever cemented in Canton, Ohio. On Tuesday, the Steelers announced that wide receiver Hines Ward was named one of the 26 semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2026. This marks the tenth […]
With one game left in November, the Chicago Bears are 8-3. That alone is worth celebrating. Don’t let the opponents’ records bring down the celebration. Don’t let the haters and box score-watchers bring you down. The Bears are in first place in the NFC North. The other teams aren’t because they haven’t won enough games. […]
The Wilkes-Barre Penguins went 1-1 last week, here’s Nick Hart from WBSPenguins.com with a recap: Friday, Nov. 21 – PENGUINS 2 at Hartford 5Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s sizzling start faded down the stretch, leading to four unanswered goals against. The Penguins were out-shooting the Wolf Pack 26-6S when they built a 2-1 lead on tallies by Owen Pickering and […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 6-5 after a tough loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The loss dropped them out of first place in the AFC North — as well as playoff seeding entirely — with the once 1-5 Baltimore Ravens seizing control of the division for the first time this season. As Mike […]
When you watch Tommy Novak play, it is not that difficult to understand why the Pittsburgh Penguins had an interest in acquiring him and why they want him to be a part of this team. There is clearly talent here. There is skill to his game, and I think it could work in a variety […]
The Buffalo Bills (7-4) are on the verge of being on the outside looking in when it comes to the AFC playoff picture, and one week after their offensive line was bullied by a ferocious Houston Texans’ front four, the task won’t get any easier when the Bills travel to play the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5) […]
At 7-4, the Buffalo Bills are now fighting for their playoff lives thanks to yet another untimely loss to an AFC playoff hopeful in the Houston Texans. Buffalo doesn’t have a lot of room for error left if they hope to make some noise in the postseason, and that means taking care of business a […]
The Penguins will try to snap their November slump by calling up one of their top prospects for his NHL debut. Tristan Broz, 2021 second-round pick turned top-line center in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, was called up by the Pens ahead of Wednesday’s matchup against the visiting Buffalo Sabres. Broz, who started out his college career with Minnesota […]
After their fourth loss in six games, frustration is beginning to set in for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ faithful. The black and gold dropped Sunday’s contest to Chicago, despite several chances to claim victory. The losing effort also means Pittsburgh loses control of the AFC North, as Baltimore now holds the tiebreaker, sitting at 6-5 as […]
Coming off a letdown of a weekend against the Wild and Kraken, the Pittsburgh Penguins returned to practice on Monday looking to brush those games aside and prepare for a trio of contests awaiting them this Thanksgiving week. As has become tradition in Pittsburgh, the Penguins will host a Thanksgiving Eve contest on Wednesday night, […]
Sunday’s loss to the Chicago Bears marked a low point in the season for the Pittsburgh Steelers. After a big home win against the Bengals in Week 11, the Steelers dropped back down to earth in the Windy City, only scoring 21 offensive points against one of the league’s worst defenses, and allowing 31. Now […]
The word on the street is that the Pittsburgh Pirates are going to be active in free agency. Whether it’s spending $30-40 million, having interest in Josh Naylor, or putting together a roster surrounding Paul Skenes that can win meaningful games, the Pirates need to do whatever it takes to win. As Skenes said after […]
The Steelers added defensive tackle Anthony Goodlow to their practice squad, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday, citing Goodlow’s agent Hector Ruiz. Pittsburgh hasn’t officially announced the move or any corresponding roster transactions yet. Pittsburgh does currently have an open spot on its practice squad. Goodlow went undrafted in 2024 out of Oklahoma State University. […]
The Chicago Bears caught a break when Aaron Rodgers’ left wrist prevented him from suiting up for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But the Steelers caught a break when Chicago’s Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon remained on injured reserve after practicing in full on Friday. The Steelers also benefited from the Bears’ injuries to starters Theo Benedet, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers traded wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys in the offseason for a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth rounder this offseason. They also threw in a 2027 sixth to sweeten the deal for Dallas. Following three seasons of highlight-reel plays, but on-field antics, being late to the Christmas Day […]
The Chicago Bears earned another victory on Sunday, bringing their win total to eight for the first time since 2020. This time, it was a 31-28 victory at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was more of the same for the Steelers, a team that has only walked away with a victory in Chicago once […]
The Bears keep rolling with a 31-28 win over the Steelers at Soldier Field , and the crew is in full holiday spirit on the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast, presented by Obvious Shirts .
Hosts Patrick Flowers, Matt Rooney, and Luis Medina kick things off by sharing their biggest takeaways from another statement victory — because, at this point, it’s time to admit it: this team is good. The guys hand out their game balls, led by Montez Sweat, who delivered another dominant performance i...
Well, that was a fun one!
It wasn’t pretty all day on Sunday for the Bears, but again, they were opportunistic on defense, efficient on offense, and when it got close late, they never blinked.
Despite being shorthanded for what seems like the entirety of the season defensively, that unit never backs down. Whenever the offense makes a mistake, they almost always seem to bounce back and not let those mistakes add up.
Coaching matters a whole lot in the NFL, and the Bears have been...
The Steelers saved us from buying in and made sure their annual collapse came about a month early. They’ve gone from 4-1 with a massive lead over the 1-5 Baltimore Ravens to 6-5 and out of the playoff picture. The loss to the Chicago Bears highlighted a lot of the same issues that have plagued […]
Nebraska wins a championship, Purdue stuffs Tech in a locker, and all the other news that’s fit to print. Good morning. Lots of Big Ten hoops to get to, since Rutgers—and boy do we have more on them in a second—is going to get flattened by Tennessee in about an hour. The Weekend That Was […]
