It was a barnburner from start to finish, but the Chicago Bears came away from Sunday with a 47-42 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, improving to 5-3 on the 2025 season. Both defenses failed to put together solid outings, while both offenses were tremendous in the showdown in Cincinnati. The Bears moved the ball consistently […]

Bengals coach Zac Taylor just went full John Fox — and the end result was a Bears touchdown.
Taylor threw a review flag hoping that Bears wideout DJ Moore fumbled the ball through the end zone. That would’ve given the Bengals the ball at the 20. At worse, I imagine the Cincy head coach thought it would be Bears ball at the 1-yard line as it was called on the field. Instead, this play goes down as a Chicago Bears touchdown:
After review, DJ Moore crosses the goal line for a 17-yard ru...

The Chicago Bears will be without tight end Cole Kmet for the rest of their Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Kmet went down after making a first-down catch during the first half and was evaluated for a concussion. And early in the third quarter, the Bears announced Kmet would not return:

The Chicago Bears offense has the Cincinnati Bengals defense confused and befuddled in the early going.
This is how they took the lead early in the second quarter after falling behind following a Cincinnati Bengals field goal:

Good morning, Bears fans. Hopefully the extra hour of sleep gave the Bears an extra hour of planning to beat the Bengals. Last week’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens was a step backwards for the 4-3 Chicago Bears and their possible playoff hopes, but this year’s squad can’t possibly turn this loss into a ten-game […]

It was encouraging to see three of the four Chicago Bears receivers who missed Wednesday’s practice participate in activities on Thursday. That second-year wideout Rome Odunze was one of them was a good bit of news.

My high school alma mater plays a football playoff game today. Here’s hoping that this isn’t the only bit of playoff football I’ll see this year.
Desperate times often call for desperate measures. And when desperate times call for desperate measures, things tend to get weird. So you can imagine the look on my face when I saw that Chicago Bears Offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle was looking to try some “unorthodox” things in an attempt to rid the team of its penalty problem:
