Coming into this season, we knew that Ben Johnson was a superb offensive play-caller. And while we didn’t know if he could thrive as a head coach, it was easy to feel good about his chances when you consider how hot of a candidate he was around the league. But what we didn’t know is that Johnson is a master motivator with a penchant of manipulating situations and creating factors that could fuel players to play their best.
Look no further than how he turned the Packers’ tough talk into bu...
The NFL’s Wild Card Round has officially come to a close and counting the two teams who were on bye during it, there are now eight squads left fighting for this season’s Lombardi Trophy. As Cowboys fans it feels pretty incredible to have seen both the Packers and Eagles eliminated already. It goes without saying […]
Micah Parsons was conspicuous in his absence from the Packers’ playoff loss to the Chicago Bears. But in the days after, he’s made his presence felt, just as he’s done in virtually every moment he’s been in Green Bay since the Packers made the aggressive move to pry him away from the Dallas Cowboys. Parsons, […]
There are a couple of things that we’ve been told about Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur’s current situation. We know that both ESPN’s Adam Schefter and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said that going into the Packers’ playoff loss to the Chicago Bears, Green Bay wanted LaFleur back and LaFleur wanted to be in […]
The other day, I broke down the Green Bay Packers’ touchdown to Romeo Doubs against the Chicago Bears and the play that set it up. As you may recall, the Packers scored four touchdowns in this game, so we’re going to break down those other three. Because they’re fun and we can. TD 1: 3rd […]
If the Dolphins want to fix their offensive line, their new GM may take a look at his former team.
Earlier this season, our friends at Breaking T revealed a few Chicago Bears-inspired shirts and hoodies. The Caleb Williams-to-Colston Loveland game-winner against the Bengals and a couple of Good Better Best variations. But their latest one might be the best yet. Fresh off the Bears’ Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers, you can […]
After a tough 30-6 home loss to the Houston Texans in the wild card round on Monday night, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who played for current Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur from 2019 to 2022, voiced his opinion on the idea of LaFleur being on the hot seat after going 76-40-1 in […]
For the first time in 15 years, the Chicago Bears have won a playoff game. All hope seemed lost for the Bears going into the fourth quarter of their Wild Card matchup against the Packers. Down 21-6 going into the final 15 minutes of regulation, it felt like it would take a miracle to come […]
On Monday, the Green Bay Packers announced the signing of 16 players to reserve/futures deals, essentially minimum contracts that tend to go to former practice squad players at the beginning of the offseason. With all the reshuffling the Packers have done over the past couple of weeks, let’s go over every single one of these […]
The Green Bay Packers sure were mad after the Chicago Bears walked them off a few weeks ago. They talked and talked, hoping they’d get an opportunity for revenge on the Bears in the playoffs. Welp, they got their wish; it just didn’t work out the way they wanted. “There was probably a little bit […]
For as much fun as Saturday night was, Bears fans know it wasn’t all good news from Soldier Field after the team’s playoff win against the Green Bay Packers. The squad saw a pair of key players go down with serious injuries, with the biggest one being to starting left tackle Ozzy Trapilo.

Will the red-hot Texans make a statement on the road, or will Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers defend their home turf and advance to the next round?
Let’s take a look at some odds, props, and more for tonight’s big game in the Steel City.

I don’t know about all of you, but I’m having a tough time observing the 24-hour rule this weekend after Saturday night’s win. Yesterday, I spent most of the day consuming Bears-Packers content. Today, I woke up still on a high from the win. Luckily, I’m sure Ben Johnson has fully turned the page for him and his team as they prepare to host the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field on Sunday.
Let’s try to do the same, shall we? It’s time to react one final time (well, for now at least) to the...
The Miami Dolphins are in the midst of a head coaching search as other teams are still fighting for their playoff lives during the NFL’s Wildcard Weekend. After hiring former Packers vice-president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan to replace former Dolphins general manager Chris Grier, he and his team of scouts will have plenty of […]
If any of those Packers fans who had their feelings hurt by Ben Johnson treating the Bears/Packers rivalry like an actual rivalry on Saturday night, well, they’re certainly going to be upset with him again today!
During his media availability today, Ben Johnson doubled down on his dislike of the Green Bay Packers – who, if anyone has forgotten, make up half of the NFL’s oldest rivalry along with the Bears.
Here’s the clip .
Ben Johnson on his message in the locker room of "Fuc...
Green Bay Packers replacement starting center Sean Rhyan, in for Elgton Jenkins, who has been on injured reserve since Week 11, went down with an injury on the Packers’ final drive against the Chicago Bears. Because he wasn’t able to get off the field under his own power in time, Green Bay had to take […]
On Monday, Green Bay Packers right tackle Zach Tom, who last played against the Denver Broncos in Week 15, revealed that he tore his patellar tendon in his knee and will have surgery to repair the injury soon, per Packers.com’s Weston Hodkiewicz. The good news is that it’s a partially torn patellar tendon instead of […]
Under most circumstances, finding yourself in the company of Bart Starr would be a great thing. One of the ultimate high-character players in Packers history, Starr would be a wealth of knowledge about not just football, but about the team for which he played. What else would you expect from a guy who learned at […]
In the 36 hours or so since the Green Bay Packers lost to the Chicago Bears, practically the only topic on the minds of Packers fans has been the fate of head coach Matt LaFleur. Monday morning came with some anticlimactic news, however, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Packers are “expected to try […]
It appears that the position of the Green Bay Packers’ leadership on head coach Matt LaFleur has remained unchanged after Saturday’s devastating Wild Card loss to the Chicago Bears. Going into the weekend, reporting indicated that the team planned to try to bring LaFleur back for 2026 (at least), and that appears to still be […]
The Cardiac Bears. The Comeback Kids. The 2025 Chicago Bears. After a lackluster first half, a different Chicago Bears team stepped onto the field to pull off an improbable 31-27 comeback win over the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round. With this win, not only did the Bears advance to the Divisional Round, […]
I know there are bigger things to focus on, but we’ve (sadly) got an entire offseason to do that. This week, I’ll be doing what I like to do: Breaking down some plays from the game. Because, while the end result was obviously not what we wanted, there was plenty of cool stuff on display. […]
