Oh, baby! The Chicago Bears decided to give the Haters the middle finger on Black Friday and announce to the NFL world that they are for real. The Haters are still clinging to “Oh, well, the Eagles are collapsing! They still haven’t beaten anyone!” Beat the Packers, and they’ll blame the Tucker Kraft injury. It’ll […]

1. The Chicago Bears (9-3) and New England Patriots (11-2) are the two best teams in their respective conferences. Just like we figured before the season, right? Two teams led by second-year quarterbacks with new head coaches, at that. In the weirdest year of NFL football we’ve seen in a while, it’s perfect to see […]

One of my favorite things about the first year of following the Ben Johnson experience has been that he does not mince words. And when it comes to players, the Chicago Bears head coach is straight and to-the-point while not going overboard. It is a tough balance to strike, but one the first-year coach is handling well.
However, his commentary about Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and the passing game raised some eyebrows:

Last week felt like the Chicago Bears were playing with house money because no one expected them to be in first place, and no one thought they’d go on the road and knock off the Philadelphia Eagles. They not only took the defending champs out, but they dominated Philly in the trenches, and thanks to the Carolina Panthers, […]

The Chicago Bears don’t get too many chances to host the Green Bay Packers under the bright lights of Soldier Field.
But in a year that feels so different for Bears fans, it makes sense that the most storied rivalry in NFL history gets the primetime treatment in Week 16:

Save for Lovie Smith, Chicago Bears head coaches have often danced around Packers Week and treated it as if it were just another game.
But Ben Johnson isn’t like other Bears coaches:

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar writes about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai, the seventh-round surprise who has been a bellcow back at times, and always a force multiplier in Ben […]

Caleb Williams’ box score wasn’t pretty in Philly, but there is a much bigger picture here that we need to consider.
This season, Williams is throwing with anticipation, but the accuracy hasn’t been there at times. However, many times when it has been there, the receiving corps has failed him. It’s a shared problem that Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson acknowledged this week when speaking to reporters on Monday .
“The primary receiver, when he’s open, we’ve got to make sure we hit him,” ...

This is such a fun game to rehash. The Chicago Bears went on the road and absolutely bullied the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. The biggest win for the Bears in years was so satisfying. The haters are having a hard time responding. It’s going to be really hard to find three down this […]

It may be stupid that the Packers are just now playing the Bears for the first time this season, but at least the game is going to matter. I’m firmly of the opinion that things are better when Packers/Bears games matter, and for too long, they haven’t. The Bears are the Packers’ oldest rival, and […]

ICYMI: Ben Johnson’s shirtless escapades after the Bears’ Black Friday win against the Eagles resulted in fans getting free hot dogs on Tuesday at The Wiener’s Circle. This is what the Bears head coach had to say about it (and with a bonus locker room angle I hadn’t seen before):

The center position has been a revolving door of mediocrity for the Chicago Bears for years. There were flashes of middling and some occasional decent or passable play, but it was mostly below average. For the few years prior to the 2025 offseason, they tried to put a band-aid on the position through free agency, […]

D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai have put their name in the Chicago Bears history books in one of the unique ways one could ever imagine.
When the Bears ran for 281 yards on Black Friday in their win against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, they did so in a way in which Swift and Monangai combined to make history:
D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai became the first Bears duo to each rush for 100+ yards in 40 years, when Walter Payton and Matt Suhey accomplished the ...
