Even though we are just two days into the Chicago Bears offseason, it is never too early to take a look at players we’d like to see back next season. One such player in my book would be safety Kevin Byard III, who is a free-agent-to-be when the new league year begins and is coming off a solid two-year run with Chicago’s football team. Perhaps a third year is on the horizon. While speaking with reporters at Halas Hall, Kevin Byard said there is “mutual interest” between the two sides: ...

With the 20-17 win over the Chicago Bears in the NFC Divisional Round, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay earned his 10th playoff win of his career. It moved him into a tie for 14th all-time with coaches like Bill Walsh and George Seifert. What’s unique about McVay’s playoff record is that all 10 […]

Dominique Robinson made the most of his playing time in the Bears’ NFC Divisional Round appearance. Robinson, a Day 3 pick from Ryan Poles’ first draft class as Bears general manager, earned a team-best 91.4 grade from Pro Football Focus for his efforts in Chicago’s second-round playoff loss against the Los Angeles Rams on its initial breakdown of the game. And upon further review, Robinson’s grade ended up as an 89.5 — which was still the best on the team. What a pleasant surprise that t...

The Kansas City Chiefs are reuniting with former offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy after a disappointing 2025 season that resulted in a major shakeup in the coaching staff. Bieniemy’s 2025 season was the opposite: he was hired to coach the running backs for the Chicago Bears and first-year head coach Ben Johnson, who was the hottest […]

One of the underrated aspects of the Los Angeles Rams’ divisional round playoff win over the Chicago Bears was how they adjusted at corner and forced three interceptions on Caleb Williams. Corner has been the Achilles heel of the Rams team for the 2025 season. Bigger receivers—AJ Brown, Michael Wilson, and others—have abused this secondary […]

Day 2 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I woke up, saw it was 6 degrees outside, and questioned the life decisions that led me to this point. Is dealing with a bitter winter easier when you have football games to look forward to dissecting? That is a question I’ll ponder throughout the morning. On this date in 2025, Ben Johnson and the Bears did a thing: OMG REPORT: Ben Johnson is Finalizing a Deal to Become the Next Chicago Bears Head Coach www.bleachernation.com/bears/2025/0… [image...

When the Los Angeles Rams were set to take on the Chicago Bears in the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs, many assumed there would be a lot of points. After all, this was a matchup between two of the best offensive minds in the NFL going head-to-head in Sean McVay and Ben Johnson. Instead, […]

The Kansas City Chiefs’ decision on Monday to hire Chicago Bears running backs coach Eric Bieniemy for a second stint as the team’s offensive coordinator was largely met with fanbase skepticism. After missing the playoffs for the first time in over a decade, many observers hoped for a coordinator from outside of head coach Andy […]

The Cubs Convention is over, the Bears’ fine season is, too, and only the Blackhawks remain standing in the playoff hunt. But there is hope for the 2026 Cubs squad, after a couple of major and quite a few minor signings, with only a couple of roster decisions to make unless something special happens. Marquee […]

The 2025 Chicago Bears season has come to an end. Sure, it didn’t end with a championship, but it was a season that we won’t soon forget. An 11-6 regular season record, an NFC North division title, a Wild Card round victory over the Green Bay Packers to end our rival’s season, and a down […]

The Detroit Lions are bringing in a new offensive coordinator for the 2026 NFL season. And the name might be familiar to some Chicago Bears fans. Well, at least the ones who were neck deep wading through the Bears’ head coaching candidates last offseason. Drew Petzing, who interviewed for Chicago’s head coaching vacancy last January, is joining the Lions as their new offensive play caller. The Lions are hiring Drew Petzing as their offensive coordinator, sources tell me and @RapSheet . Pe...

When Ozzy Trapilo went down last weekend against Green Bay, Ben Johnson was always going to have a difficult decision to make in how to replace him. Sure, Theo Benedet played okay in a few starts at left tackle. But he really struggled in pass protection, and having him be the main man responsible for blocking Jared Verse on quarterback Caleb Williams’ blindside could have been an issue. And while Braxton Jones was activated from injured reserve, playing him in a playoff game didn’t feel ...

A lot of the time, 24 hours after a loss, I begin to feel better. I’ll get more optimistic, diagnose how it wasn’t as bad as it looked, and start to get optimistic about the future. This is not one of those times. Part of the reason why is obvious. The Bears’ outstanding season, one that defied all of our expectations, has come to a close. And, while not many of us believed they could get this far when the season kicked off in September, now it feels like it came to an end too soon. The R...

The Los Angeles Rams eliminated the Chicago Bears in a closely fought NFC divisional round game. LA finished on top 20-17.

If going for two and the win against the Rams after Cole Kmet’s miraculous touchdown catch crossed your mind, just know that you are not alone. Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson briefly considered going all-in on with a win-or-go-home two-point conversion attempt. He ultimately decided to play it safe and sent kicker Cairo Santos to boot the extra point, which was successful. However, it’s not as if the thought didn’t cross Johnson’s mind. “I thought about it,” Johnson said while explaining hi...

Last night, the Chicago Bears’ season came to an end with a disappointing 20- 17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams. While our fanbase is probably still hurting, I hope we can all reach a place of positivity at some point, because this was a magical season that should be celebrated. There’ll be no […]

Even though the Chicago Bulls won last night, the city of Chicago isn’t exactly celebrating. And no—it’s not because the Bulls beat a shorthanded team (though, let’s be honest, that does mean very little). It’s because the dream-like season of the Chicago Bears came to an end. We may be Bulls writers here, but we can still appreciate what we witnessed. So I won’t cry because it’s over, I’ll smile because it happened. Now, back to the hardwood. Let’s talk Bulls basketball. ...

The Kansas City Chiefs could soon turn to an old friend to fill a coaching vacancy on Andy Reid’s staff. Because while Matt Nagy is still the offensive coordinator, there seems to be a belief that he is about to leave for a head-coaching position. Hence, we are already seeing reports that Eric Bieniemy, who coaches running backs for the Chicago Bears, has been requested for an interview with one of his former organizations. This was an unexpected twist on Monday: Source: The #Chiefs ...
