Chicago Bears place Braxton Jones on Injured Reserve
On Saturday, the Chicago Bears announced that starting left tackle Braxton Jones was placed on the Reserve/Injured list. Jones hurt his knee in the Bears’ Monday night win over the Philadelphia Eagles, and he did not participate in practice all week. Teams can designate up to eight players to return from injured reserve, so if […]
Chicago Bears vs. New York Jets: Week 4 Players to Watch
The NFL season is constantly evolving. Week 4 arrives with more optimism than expected in Chicago after an upset victory of the previously unbeaten Eagles on Monday night. In this weekly series, I’ll feature one player from the Chicago Bears opponent on each side of the ball who I think is integral to their team’s […]
‘All signs point to Tyson Bagent’ starting for the Chicago Bears
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson may not be tipping his hand on his starting quarterback this Sunday against the New York Jets, but a Friday night report may have shed some light on the situation.

Bears vs. Jets Injury Report: Braxton Jones out for Chicago, N.Y. down 4 starters
The Chicago Bears and New York Jets meet on Sunday in the Windy City, and both teams will be without key contributors. No surprise that Caleb Williams will miss his second consecutive game with his hamstring injury, but head coach Ben Johnson did not name a starting quarterback. “I don’t necessarily know there is a […]
Jets at Bears Q&A: A battle of former Lions Coordinators
The Chicago Bears look to improve their record to 3-1 this week as they welcome the New York Jets to Soldier Field. The Jets are sitting at 1-2 but have been close in every game and appear like they might be close to turning the corner. Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn roamed the Detroit Lions’ […]
One stat that shows the Bears’ defense actually has been better so far in 2026
Don’t look now, y’all: the Chicago Bears’ defense just might be back. Ok, give me a break. I had to try. However, after a Week 1 in which they allowed more than 30 points to the Carolina Panthers, the Bears have allowed fewer than 10 points in each of their last two contests. That has […]
Bears vs. Jets: Keys to a Chicago victory
The Chicago Bears could be starting a third-straight different quarterback against the New York Jets on Sunday. And for perhaps the first time in Bears history, that isn’t the largest concern. Such is the Ben Johnson experience. That isn’t to say it’s not a problem. It just isn’t the biggest problem. Johnson has proved he […]
NFL Predictions: Will the Bears backup QB magic continue vs. the Jets?
When the schedule was announced, most Chicago Bears fans penciled this one as a win, but that was before Caleb Williams suffered a grade 2 hamstring pull and before we saw how much better the New York Jets have looked. The Jets may be 1-2, but they played the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions […]
Chicago Bears News: Injury lists are always scary, this week’s is no different
The Chicago Bears are banged up going into this weekend’s game against the New York Jets, who have injuries as well.The Chicago Bears are banged up going into this weekend’s game against the New York Jets, who have injury concerns of their own. As former Bears head coach John Fox would have put it: “Swift? […]
Reviewing the Bears’ PFN grades from Week 3 vs. Eagles
The Chicago Bears bounced back in a major way on Monday night, picking up the decisive 27-7 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles to improve to 2-1 for the season. It was about as thorough a beating as one could imagine. The Bears’ passing attack proved to be too much for the Eagles to overcome, while […]
Steelers at Browns: TNF Open Thread!
Yes, it’s back! An open thread to discuss the Thursday Night Football game tailored specifically for our Windy City Gridiron members! The NFL Feed still has its own discussion post if you want to chop it up with fans of the other 31 teams, but if you only want to talk with your fellow WCG […]
Who on the Bears will keep up with the Jets’ Kenyon Sadiq?
After a notably poor Week 1 performance, the Bears defense has suddenly shown some life. Since the start of the 3rd quarter in Week 1, the Bears have allowed a very respectable 29 points across 10 total quarters. Meanwhile, they have proven that the turnover trend from last year was not a fluke, as they […]
Herm Edwards: Dennis Allen has Chicago Bears’ defense playing sound football
The latest Bears Banter has dropped! The Chicago Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, and Case Keenum turned in a memorable performance. The Bears have the New York Jets on deck as they try to move to 3-1. Who better to talk to about the Eagles and the Jets and how Ben […]
NFL Week 4 Game Preview: Chicago Bears vs. New York Jets
Coming off a short week, the Chicago Bears will have to decide which backup quarterback they want to start against the New York Jets. Whoever it is, Tyson Bagent or Case Keenum, they will have a tough act to follow. And a tough defense to play against. The Jets are 1-2, but are much more […]
Case Keenum Week 3 QB Grade: Eagles @ Bears Film Breakdown
Note: You may notice another new name included in my QB grades/metrics. This may explain why… Well, when I said last week that whoever started against the Philadelphia Eagles would get the same treatment here, I partially didn’t expect that quarterback to be Case Keenum. The Bears entered Week 3 with about as much uncertainty […]

Chicago Bears Big Play Breakdowns from Week 3
I think we can all agree that Ben Johnson’s game plan for Week 3 was perfect for Case Keenum. It wasn’t a particularly explosive game plan, but it was perfect for the spot start on Monday Night Football. Only four explosives from the primetime tilt to discuss this week. Explosive Play 3.1 – Q2 6:14, […]

Chicago Bears News: Kyler Gordon is back at Halas Hall plus the news of the day
We have a Kyler Gordon sighting! Gordon was back at Halas Hall for the Chicago Bears’ Wednesday’s walk-through practice, and his 21 day window for activation opened up. Don’t expect him to be an instant starter however, he still appears to be deep in Ben Johnson & Dennis Allen’s doghouse. While fans and media debate […]
Chicago Bears Offensive Line Analysis vs. Eagles
While most expected Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson to dust off the same run-heavy game plan he used last year against the Philadelphia Eagles, he pivoted to a quick passing attack that seemed to keep Philly off balance. It was brilliant strategy, as Vic Fangio and the Eagles likely didn’t expect it, especially with […]

Bears defense looking to build on strong turnaround entering Week 4
There was widespread offseason speculation that the Chicago Bears defense would be a bottom-10 unit this season. The defense was also viewed as a top regression candidate, particularly because of the amount of turnovers they produced last season. Those concerns seemed valid after Week 1, when the defense gave up 37 points and 478 yards […]
Kyler Gordon Activated From PUP, Practice Window Open
The Chicago Bears activated CB Kyler Gordon from the PUP (physically unable to perform) list on Wednesday, opening his 21-day practice window and paving the way for a return to the field. This does not mean that Gordon will play this weekend against the New York Jets. Gordon was required to miss the first four […]

Welcome back to the third installment of my new series for the 2026 season, where I recap what I believe were the three reasons the Chicago Bears won or lost the previous game.
