Chicago Bears Swift and Monangai Tracker Week 4
At no point in the first 106 seasons of Chicago Bears football have they had two different rushers top 1,000 yards. They came close in 1978, when Roland Harper’ 992 yards finished second to Sweetness. With D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai off to hot starts, I thought tracking a potential first in team history would […]

Chicago Bears Stock Watch: Monangai rising as Swift falls
Sunday morning, I found myself getting nervous. As the Chicago Bears game approached, I found myself doubting the optimism and enthusiasm I saw online from fellow Bears fans. I’ve seen the Bears start backup quarterbacks so many times, I thought. And Tyson Bagent is far less experienced than Case Keenum. Surely, there was a chance […]

Chicago Bears News: How the Chicago Bears prepare for the Green Bay Packers
It’s interesting how much fan debate their is about whether Tyson Bagent or Case Keenum should start against Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers this Sunday.

Following his 30-carry, 146-yard, 2-touchdown performance against the New York Jets, Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai was the Week 4 winner of the vaunted Angry Runs Scepter.

Hot Take Tuesday: Chicago Bears Have Best Coaching Staff in the League
The Chicago Bears dominated the New York Jets like Michael Jordan playing pick-up ball against a toddler. It was impressive to watch. The numbers don’t even seem real.

10 Thoughts on the NFL, Week 4: Bears QB musical chairs wins again
1. At first, I admit I found myself getting irritated at fans wondering if Ben Johnson could win with Justin Fields and Mitchell Trubisky after what he’s done in back-to-back weeks with Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent in Chicago Bears wins. On second thought, though: screw it. So I’m asking you all: would Johnson get […]
