Latest news and updates about the Bears
Hello, Chicago Bears Fans! The Bears are into the divisional round after their amazing comeback victory over the Packers in the Wild Card game. The Bears did suffer some injuries in that game, however, with Ozzy Trapilo and TJ Edwards out for the season. There are rumors the Bears may push Joe Thuney out to […]
Another day of NFL playoffs, and another day of exciting football games. The Buffalo Bills suffered another heartbreaking postseason loss in overtime to the Denver Broncos in a controversial finish that will likely lead to days of debating about officiating. I almost made this Question of the Day about the enforcement of pass interference, but […]
1.) 2006 Bears vs. Seahawks: The Goulden leg sends us to the NFC Championship for the first time since 1985 An old adversary came to town on January 14th, 2007. Mike Holmgren, the former head coach of the Green Bay Packers of the 90’s who combined with Brett Favre to torment the Bears so, came […]
We didn’t have a Chicago Bears-specific Reacts survey question here at Windy City Gridiron this week, but the national set of survey questions that SB Nation emailed out — sign up here to participate — asked fans to pick the winners in this weekend’s games. I’m not surprised by the results. The Los Angeles Rams had more wins […]
NFL COACHING NEWS AND RUMORS — There is so much Bears-specifc content that I want to do before now and tomorrow’s kickoff. However, there are some NFL headlines (and some Bears-adjacent things) that popped up today that I didn’t want to squeeze into Sunday’s Bullets and wasn’t willing to wait until Monday to write up. So I’m pushing it out the door now while I have a moment. John Harbaugh makes it official with the New York Giants News of John Harbaugh signing on to be the next head ...
On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll is joined by former Chicago Bears defensive end Corey Wootton, now of CHGO Bears. They chat about the loss of linebacker T.J. Edwards and what that means for the defense at the position. They discuss the uptick in pressure against Green Bay and dive into what the secondary […]
The Chicago Bears could be mixing things up with Joe Thuney and their offensive line. Playoff football means it’s all hands on deck time at Soldier Field. And while creativity is what Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson’s offensive playbook is known for, he might tap into one of his top player’s positional flexibility if it means putting the best team on the field for Sunday’s NFC Divisional Round game against the Los Angeles Rams. BEARS-RAMS PREVIEW: TWO CLOSERS, ONE FROZEN STAGE The ...
The Rams activated two players from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s divisional round matchup against the Chicago Baers, bringing back safety Tanner Ingle and linebacker Elias Neal for reinforcements. Ingle was called up before last week’s wild card game against the Panthers, drawing ire from many fans for his role in a blocked punt […]
Even though the Rams have the number one offense in the NFL, it is actually L.A.’s advantage on defense over the Chicago Bears that has the widest gap. The Rams ranked fourth on defense by DVOA, which means Defense-adjusted Value Over Average, a statistic measuring the value of each individual play and weighted based on […]
As the reactions to Ben Johnson’s now-infamous handshake with Matt LaFleur and “F— the Packers” postgame chat made its rounds this week, pundits made sure to let us know that it wasn’t just the Packers who were mad about Johnson’s perceived slight toward LaFleur and his team. It’s the whole crew of Los Angeles Rams […]
The San Francisco 49ers are expected to have wide receiver Ricky Pearsall back for the first time since their Week 17 win over the Chicago Bears when they play the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Divisional Round on Saturday. It’s been an up-and-down second year for Pearsall, who has dealt with knee and ankle injuries […]
Counting the playoffs, Michigan product Colston Loveland leads all Chicago Bears in targets and receiving yards this season, and according to Sumer Sports, he’s the highest-rated rookie tight end in yards per route run. He’s also one of the top five of all tight ends in Total EPA. He just became the first rookie in […]

The NFC Wildcard game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers evolved into a true coaching clinic, a legendary chess match orchestrated by Bears offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.

No matter […] The post Exclusive: Eric Dickerson on Facing the ’85 Bears in NFC Title Game appeared first on The Sports Bank .
Last week, I opened my Bears-Packers How to watch article with this sentence. “Get ready for either one of the greatest Saturday nights of your Chicago Bears fandom or one of the worst.” It was one of the greatest. The stakes are even higher this Sunday in the Divisional round vs the Los Angeles Rams, […]
On Sunday, the Chicago Bears host the Los Angeles Rams with the winner advancing to the NFC Championship game.

We have to wait all weekend to finally watch the Chicago Bears play their divisional round playoff game. The Bears are scheduled to play the Los Angeles Rams in the final game of the weekend, with kickoff set for 5;30 p.m. CT. We know it’s going to be cold. Freezing even. Really, really cold. But […]
The Chicago Bears host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, and the final injury reports for each team are due today. Just like in the regular season, these reports could be added to over the next couple of days, but if a player is ruled out, he’s out for the game. For the Bears, that […]
The Chicago Bears have reached the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs, where they will welcome the LA Rams to Soldier Field. Last week, we said we liked a high-scoring game, and that’s exactly what we got with almost 60 points being scored between the two teams. Last week, we went 2-1 on our prop […]
The Los Angeles Rams are set to play the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field in a game to be played in freezing temperatures. They’ll be facing a defense that leads the NFL in interceptions, and a quarterback who’s seen a drop in form (not to be read as played badly). Back in 2018 […]
“Daddy, if the Bears win today, are you going to do that thing with the champagne bottle where you pop the cork and shake it and it sprays?” “No, I’ll do that when the Bears win the Super Bowl.” …yet even as I answered her, I was thinking, Wow, how far we’ve come! Our daughter […]
The third, and final, Chicago Bears injury report ahead of the team’s NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams is out. And it is mostly good news for Chicago’s football team. This is as good as an injury report gets this time of year, so I’ll take it without thinking twice about it. As far as I’m concerned, wide receiver Rome Odunze getting upgraded to full participation on Friday’s Bears injury report is the best news that could have come from the injury report. Odunze w...
Last week, Las Vegas Raiders general manager Jon Spytek noted that there were plenty of former players still playing.
