The postseason is finally here. After a fun season filled with incredibly memorable moments and games, the Chicago Bears get a shot at playoff glory. It certainly won’t be easy with a third game against the Green Bay Packers looming large. The Packers and Bears already played two close games this season. But there are […]

Happy Friday, Bears fans! We are just one sleep away from this team’s first playoff game since 2020. And Soldier Field is just a day away from hosting its first NFL postseason event since 2018. We’ve come a long way since then, so I hope everyone is as ready as I am. I hope we can look back at this season and remember that Week 16 game against the Packers as the moment this thing took off. This is absolute cinema and I’m happy to be sharing it atop this set of BN Bears Bullets: C...

Football games are a series of choices. Run or pass. Go for it or punt. This personnel group or that one. You know the drill. But those choices extend far beyond what actually happens within the game. Football games are indeed a series of choices, but those choices are affected by the teams themselves — […]

There’s no easing into this one. The Chicago Bears host the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field in the Wild Card Round, and the stakes don’t need embellishment . This is the league’s oldest rivalry, colliding with January football in a postseason meeting that has happened only twice before. One team advances. One team goes home carrying the weight of it. For Chicago, it’s about more than survival. It’s about validation — of a division title, of a new coaching staff, of a quarterback who ha...

At this point, the Green Bay Packers know how to beat the Chicago Bears. They did it in the teams’ first meeting, getting explosive plays with regularity in the passing game and holding on for a late victory. They dominated the game for 55 minutes in the second contest before falling apart late and improbably […]

When Caleb Williams was recruited out of high school, he was the number one dual-threat quarterback in his class. His athleticism and elusiveness were noteworthy at Oklahoma and at USC, but he wasn’t drafted number one overall by the Chicago Bears for his legs. As a Bear, his athleticism and elusiveness led to the Houdini […]

I fully expect Ben Johnson to be deep in his bag this week. Days after the Bears put together a bland and unimagintive game plan in their regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions, Chicago’s football team received good news from the injury report with wide receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore (as well as starting left tackle Ozzy Trapilo) garnering full participation status with no game day designation for Saturday’s upcoming playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. So, the way I s...

The Green Bay Packers released their final injury report of the week ahead of Saturday’s Wild Card Round matchup against the Chicago Bears, and while Green Bay avoided any surprise outs, there’s enough uncertainty to matter. Up front, the biggest name to watch is right tackle Zach Tom (back/knee). Tom was limited early in the week before being held out of Thursday’s practice and is officially questionable. That’s notable against a Bears front that has leaned more aggressively on pressure ...

After a four-game losing streak to end the regular season, the Green Bay Packers now have their sights on the playoffs, starting with a Wild Card matchup against their bitter rivals, the Chicago Bears. This rivalry is back to an elite level after, frankly, several decades of dominance by one side or the other, and […]

This week’s Chicago Bears–Green Bay Packers playoff matchup doesn’t need manufactured stakes. For Bears fans, the meaning is baked into the history — and the rarity. The two franchises have met in the postseason only twice. The most recent was the 2011 NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field, a January afternoon that still lingers painfully in Chicago’s memory. Green Bay raced to an early lead, the Bears’ defense clawed them back into it, but the offense never fully recovered after Jay Cut...

The final Bears injury report of this week revealed a whole lot of good news for Chicago’s football team. And it begins with an update regarding wide receiver Rome Odunze, who is off the injury report. Odunze was listed as as full participant in Thursday’s practice and has no designation for Saturday’s playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. In other words, quarterback Caleb Williams’ top target will be ready to rock and roll at Soldier Field. CHECK OUT EPISODE NO. 16 OF THE BN BEARS ...

The Chicago Bears will host the Green Bay Packers on Saturday at Soldier Field in the Wild Card Round. The game is viewed by many — including Prime Video’s bank account — as the game of the week in the NFL’s opening round. Still, one former NFL (backup) quarterback—whose claim to fame is running out of the back of his own end zone — thinks this one won’t live up to the hype, despite their previous two meetings this season coming down to the final play of the game. “I think the Packer...

Even if I did attend with a Packers fan, I must admit that I truly enjoyed attending a live session of The Athletic Football Show podcast on Wednesday at Lincoln Hall in Chicago. The Bears conversation was fun and enjoyable. Listening to the pod live (and being in attendance) gave me an extra boost going into this week. That show just added a new subscriber. This city is so Bears-crazy right now that it is bleeding into hockey: we aren't. 🐻⬇️ @ChicagoBears https://t.co/tKF0nb7IV3...

When I took over writing the game previews several years ago from Steven Schweickert, I changed his naming convention. This was mostly due to changing SEO standards and boring ol’ search stuff that the powers at be are rightly concerned with. But the old preview naming convention works so well for this week. When it […]
