The San Francisco 49ers had a bye week this week, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t action in the NFC playoff standings. The 49ers moved up one spot to No. 6 after the Chicago Bears dropped from No. 1 to No. 7 due to their loss to the Green Bay Packers. They’re still third in […]
Shedeur Sanders is finally getting the keys to the castle in Cleveland.
It might be just for the final four games of the 2025 NFL season. But if Sanders is going to be the long-term answer for the Browns, it will be because of how his journey began down the stretch of his rookie season. Here is the announcement from Browns Head Coach Kevin Stefanski, who shares the news that Shedeur Sanders has been named Cleveland’s starting for the rest of the season:
Shedeur Sanders will start at ...
The NFL is the ultimate week-to-week league. Things change in an instant. For the San Francisco 49ers, the bye week was kind as the team moved into the sixth seed with the Bears’ loss to the Packers. Possible reinforcements are on the way for the 49ers (no, not Brandon Aiyuk), and the team is in […]
The audible groan I let out when Caleb Williams’ final pass landed in the hands of Keisean Nixon (and not Bears tight end Cole Kmet) could have been heard from here to Green Bay. The Chicago Bears quarterback had played so well in the second half. Williams was playing with conviction, making quick reads and good decisions. He also displayed some stellar arm strength. And for a moment late in the fourth quarter, it looked like QB1 was going to author a new chapter in the historic Bears-Packers ...
With December football in full effect, the Chicago Bears find themselves in a spot that they haven’t been in for five years: Meaningful games. Going into the season, most Bears fans would have taken a winning record with clear improvements across the board. Sprinkle in the feeling of being “In The Hunt”, and I’m not […]
I didn’t catch the Bulls game last night as I was boots on the ground at Lambeau Field watching the Bears come up frustratingly short of pulling off an upset. And, well, I’m glad I didn’t. Another game down, and another ugly loss in the books for Billy Donovan’s crew.
Bulls Bullets
Yet again last night, the Bulls were plagued by turnovers. Josh Giddey and Coby White each had four, which accounted for over half of the team’s 15 giveaways. The Bulls average 15.1 turnovers per game, w...
The Cleveland Browns opened as 7.5-point underdogs on the road against the Chicago Bears ahead of their Week 15 match-up, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under on the game is 40.5. The Browns (3-10) are coming off of a 31-29 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Special teams performed poorly again, but the defense joined the […]
The Green Bay Packers are fortunate that, despite a great rushing performance from his team throughout the entire second half, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson decided instead to put Sunday’s game in Caleb Williams’ hands on the critical fourth-and-one. Now, Green Bay has two weeks to make sure that doesn’t happen to them again […]
I have no flowery intro today’s installment of BN Bears Bullets. There is too much to disect to be wordy elsewhere.
Mondays are better when the Bears win. Air is fresher and more crisp. The sun shines a little more brightly than it usually does. Coffee tastes better. Folks in the comments section are kinder to each other. I missed not having a “Good, Better, Best” post to do last night. Sigh .

That one stun...
When the Chicago Bears lose to the Green Bay Packers, it always stings a little more, but yesterday’s 28-21 loss felt different. The sting was still there, and in the moment, it may have been one of the more excruciating in recent memory, but the further I get away from the final whistle, the more […]
Yes, the Green Bay Packers are 9-3-1, and yes, they just took the lead in the NFC North division with a big home win over the Chicago Bears. Yes, they currently hold the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Even with those caveats, it was still a bit surprising to see the Packers installed as […]
So, the San Francisco 49ers had a bye. Regardless of what happened, their playoff positioning would improve. How better? Well, just one spot thanks to the Chicago Bears/Green Bay Packers game. Beyond that, nothing much. And since the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks both won, and looked good doing it. The 49ers will return […]

The Bears’ five-game winning streak died in the final seconds at Lambeau Field, punctuated by Caleb Williams’ late interception into the end zone — a ball that came out too late, too soft, and into the hands of Packers corner Keisean Nixon.
What could have been a statement comeback win instead became a 28-21 loss that dropped Chicago from the top of the NFC all the way to No. 7. And yet, even in defeat, the Bears looked like a team built for January, clawing back from a 14-3 halftime defi...

Heartbreak City at Lambeau Field after a Bears-Packers slugfest saw Chicago’s football team fall short of what would have been an inspiring victory. Instead, it was just the lastest soul-crushing loss against Green Bay.
This is how it ended:

Thoughts on the Bears loss
...
In a game with mental errors, missed plays on the ball, and what could have been a second-half collapse by the defense, Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon redeemed himself in the best way possible on Sunday night. The Chicago Bears were driving down the field looking to tie (or potentially win with a two-point […]
Let’s take a look at the NFC playoff picture after the Detroit Lions’ big win on Thursday night, and all of Sunday’s action in Week 14. NFC North standings: The Lions are a game-and-a-half back of the Packers, and just a single game back of the Bears. Detroit’s odds of winning the division aren’t completely […]
It was a back-and-forth affair, but the Green Bay Packers showed why they are the team to beat in the NFC North on Sunday afternoon. Green Bay defeated the Chicago Bears 28-21, getting a go-ahead touchdown from Josh Jacobs with under four minutes left and a game-sealing interception from Keisean Nixon in the end zone […]
A tale of two halves in Green Bay today for the Chicago Bears. If the second half Bears show up at kickoff in two weeks when these two teams meet at Soldier Field, I’ll feel real good about their chances of evening the season series.
