Chicago Bears head coach spoke to the media today and delivered some refreshing news: he expects cornerback Jaylon Johnson to return this season.

No news to Chicago Bears fans, but Caleb Williams took a lot of sacks last year, getting sacked on 10.79% of his dropbacks. However, did you know he also led the league in sacks avoided as a rookie? This season, he’s taking far fewer sacks, with his sack percentage way down to 4.56 (fifth lowest in the […]

Since their 0-2 start to the season, the Bears are 6-1. Yes, they’re still 0-2 in the division. And the teams they have beaten aren’t exactly shaping up for playing deep into January. But keep in mind that expectations for this team were not very high. We all wanted to see competent coaching and scheming, […]

The Green Bay Packers losing back-to-back games to the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles in gut-wrenching fashion is usually enough to raise our antennas around Chicagoland and among Chicago Bears fans who love schadenfreude. But then I read this piece from The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman, whose story has me wondering if Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur is coaching for his job. This excerpt from his story certainly opened my eyes: Has the seventh-year man in charge proven to ...

In a game where drops were an issue for the Chicago Bears, rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III stepped up down the stretch, hauling in a 27-yard catch ahead of the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. It was part of a day in which Burden caught three passes for 51 yards in Chicago’s Week 10 victory against the New York Giants. It brought his season total to 16 catches (on 18 targets) for 222 yards and a touchdown. And perhaps more is on the way. Sunday’s drop totals were costly in...

Another week, another game winning drive for Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears. That’s now four such drives on the season, tied for the league lead. It also ties Caleb for first place in single-season Chicago Bears franchise history with Jay Cutler (2009, 2010, 2015), Billy Wade (1962), and Bob Avellini (1977). One more breaks […]

My brain hasn’t fully adjusted to this new Chicago Bears era. There was a point in the second half of the game where I said to myself, “the Bears aren’t going to win this game.” And I believed it. Then they forced a fumble and recovered it. They drove down for a touchdown. They got […]

According to NFL insider Aaron Wilson, the Detroit Lions are trying out rookie tight end Thomas Gordon (Gordon more or less confirmed the news on his social media page). Gordon went undrafted this year, but spent rookie minicamp with the Chicago Bears as a tryout. After a month passed, he eventually joined the Bears and […]

The Bears signed C.J. Gardner-Johnson a mere 12 days ago, mostly in desperation, and it’s hard to believe the degree of impact he has already provided. Through two games, he has 12 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 FF, and a ton of energy within a unit that was hanging on by a thread. A reminder – […]

I would have been happy if the Chicago Bears were in the playoff hunt after nine games, but after 10 weeks of football, they are in an even better spot. With the Philadelphia Eagles’ win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football, the Bears have moved up in the current NFC playoff standings. […]

If you still had doubts about whether Ben Johnson could bring the juice to the Chicago Bears, yesterday should’ve laid them to rest. Because whatever you think of his team through nine games this season, one thing is clear: they’re all-in. His signature breakdown with his players after the game was all the confirmation needed. […]

The heroics of quarterback Caleb Williams are top of mind after the Chicago Bears’ Week 10 win against the New York Giants. Contributions from cornerback Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, defensive tackle Gervon Dexter Sr., wide receiver Rome Odunze, and others stand out for different reasons. But my favorite play from Sunday’s win was delivered by right tackle Darnell Wright. BEARS WIN AGAIN! Game Recap | Instant Grades | Game Balls | Nightcap Come for the Caleb Williams throw and th...

The Chicago Bears have gone from getting their own coach fired to causing other teams to launch theirs in less than a calendar year. In case you missed it: The New York Giants have sent Brian Daboll packing. This news comes less than 24 hours after the Giants blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in their Week 10 loss to the Bears. It was the fourth game this season in which the G-Men have coughed up a double-digit lead. But make no mistake about it: That loss to the Bears was the straw tha...

Another week, another Chicago Bears comeback victory. It would sure be nice for this team to win in blowout fashion at some point in time. My stress levels would appreciate it. That being said, what a thrilling victory on Sunday over the New York Giants. A cold, windy, and snowy day led to not much […]

Caleb Williams is well on his way to rewriting the Chicago Bears record books. While the Bears are currently the only NFL team without a 4,000-yard passer in its history, Williams is on pace to change the narrative and erase it from the annual preseason storylines that come up each year. Chicago’s QB1 has thrown for 2,136 yards in his first nine games this season. At this pace, Williams projects to throw for 4,035 yards. Not only would that number be a franchise-best that knocks Erik Kram...

The Chicago Bears might be winning games, but they aren’t doing their fans any favors by how close they keep cutting it these last-minute wins. For the second straight week, the offense had to win the game in the final two minutes of the game. Unlike last weekend’s team effort, Sunday’s win was all about […]

From penalties to poor play, the 2025 Chicago Bears have found ways to win despite certain players or entire units playing well below expectations.

Happy Victory Monday, Bears fans! Let’s go play in the snow (after reading BN Bears Bullets, of course!) It wasn’t pretty, but the Chicago Bears did what they needed to do on Sunday against the New York Giants. They keep winning games they feel destined to lose. It is a 180-degree turnaround from what I am used to as a fan. I’ve never been more thankful that style points don’t matter in the NFL. This team still has work to do in all phases. But so long as it keeps on pulling out dubs at...
