Latest news and updates about the Bears
Let’s get a few things out of the way first: While I am sure that it is at the center of Ben Johnson’s mantra this week, the Bears cannot sleep on the hobbled Ravens.

It’s the time of year when I spend a lot of time thinking about how I need more blankets and pillows around the house because comfort and warmth take precedence when the temps dip.

The Bears continued their winning ways on Sunday, defeating the Saints 26-14 to improve their record to 4-2 for the 2025 NFL season.

It’s hard to overlook a team on a four-game win streak. The Chicago Bears, fortunately, are on a winning streak.

There’s an old saying in sports, “We win as a team. We lose as a team.” That means when a team isn’t doing well, nobody points fingers. From the top of the organization on down each person asks themselves what they can do better. Let’s just say that in his quarter century of owning the […]
1. The Chicago Bears and New England Patriots finished the 2024 season with a combined eight wins. Just seven weeks into this year, they have nine wins combined and only two losses each. They went about it in different ways, with the Bears leaning heavily into offensive culture and scheming under Ben Johnson and the […]
The Bears beat the Saints on Sunday, but didn’t win because of Caleb Williams. They won despite him. Caleb Williams turned in one of his roughest outings of the season in the 26–14 victory, completing just 15 of 26 passes for 168 yards, no touchdowns, and a first-quarter interception that set the tone for an uneven day through the air. It wasn’t disastrous — the Bears’ defense and run game carried the load — but it was a reminder that the young quarterback still has plenty to figure out. ...
Four in a row! Th Chicago Bears have won four football games in a row. I didn’t even think that was allowed anymore. I mean, I knew it was allowed but it sure felt like the Bears weren’t allowed to win that many games in a row. I still wouldn’t categorize the Bears as a […]
This is a Ben Johnson appreciation post. The Chicago Bears have never been a team known for its offensive prowess. Because even when it has had elite, Hall of Fame-caliber offensive playmakers, the defense still took center stage. But with that being said, the Ben Johnson era could be different. At a minimum, we are starting to see the tide turn for a team that is starting to show its offensive chops. MORE ON THE BEARS WEEK 7 WIN: Recap | Grades | Dennis Allen Appreciation | ...
