2025 Season In Review: Grading Out The NFC North

One year after entering the playoffs as the best division in football, the NFC North simultaneously took a step back and also wrote its place in history during the 2025 season. Despite only sending two teams to the playoffs and only one with 10-plus wins, all four teams finished above .500, which is almost unheard […]

The Bears Draft: How Good Gets Better

Year one of the Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson pairing is in the books, and it was arguably better than anyone realistically thought it could be. The Chicago Bears won the NFC North title with 11 regular-season wins, earned a Wild Card victory over the Green Bay Packers, and quarterback Caleb Williams was one of […]

Revisiting the Bears 2025 Draft: First Round Pick 1.10

We all know it takes more than a single season to accurately assess the success of any draft class. Our own Josh Sunderbruch does a phenomenal job of explaining why this is and looking back at a more reasonable benchmark. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take a moment to look back and see how […]

Devin Hester’s Super Bowl moment won’t be the Bears’ last

Ninteen years ago, right about now, Devin Hester made one of the most ridiculous plays we’ve ever seen from a Chicago Bear, running the opening kickoff of Super Bowl LXI back for a touchdown. For the 14 seconds, there wasn’t a Bears fan in the entire country who wasn’t jumping for joy. Then after that, […]

Bears to interview Packers QB coach target for OC vacancy

So far, the Green Bay Packers have reportedly set up only one interview for their quarterback coaching vacancy, which was left open when Sean Mannion took the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive coordinator job. The coach, a Wisconsin native, is former Arizona Cardinals pass game coordinator Connor Senger, who received a promotion every year under Jonathan Gannon, […]

Should the Bears Interview Kliff Kingsbury For Their Offensive Coordinator Opening?

I had not thought about Kliff Kingsbury as a Chicago Bears offensive coordinator candidate until I saw this post on Twitter from Ted Nguyen, who does a ton of good stuff at The Athletic — particularly with All-22 insight: Best thing for Kingsbury might be to try to get the Bears OC job (though no connection has been reported). Obviously, he wouldn’t call plays but getting experience learning an under center offense would benefit him and his stock immensely. It would be way better for his ...

Former Rams coach has important role in Super Bowl

Sean McVay’s coaching tree with the Rams has a wide reach, but one name that never comes up in those conversations is Thomas Brown. Although Brown actually has head coaching experience already (he was Bears interim head coach in 2024), his rise through the ranks since being an offensive assistant for McVay from 2020-2022 has […]

Old Friends in the News, Offensive Coordinator Watch, Puka Nacua on Caleb Williams, and Other Bears Bullets

Day 16 of the Chicago Bears offseason. In quiet moments this time of year, I think about the only time I’ve ever seen my favorite team in the Super Bowl was at a Super Bowl party that I didn’t even really want to attend. I’m not sure what I’d do if the Bears made a Super Bowl now. But I know I wouldn’t go to a party I have no interest attending. And now, I’m wondering if people actually like Super Bowl parties. It’s been a busy morning at BN Bears. We can begin with Chicago’s search for...

The Bears have more cap flexibility than you think

Let’s address the elephant in the room: the Bears have negative cap space heading into the 2026 NFL offseason. It’s not the abundance of resources fans are used to seeing. Chicago has been big spenders almost every year that Ryan Poles has been their general manager. Last year was no exception: they traded for both […]

Bear & Balanced: Change is in the air for the Chicago Bears

The NFL offseason is the time for change. The Chicago Bears’ front office has seen a change as assistant general manager Ian Cunningham has left for the Atlanta Falcons.

Chicago Bears’ Rookie of the Year is Colston Loveland

Earlier today, the Chicago Bears named tight end Colston Loveland, the tenth overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, as their Rookie of the Year.
