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 […]

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.

Explosive Play 3.1 – Q2 6:14, […]
