Caleb Williams Week 2 QB Grade: Vikings @ Bears Film Breakdown
Note: I know I said last week that play breakdowns would return, but as I sit here writing this at 3 A.M., my full-time job has demanded a little more of my free time than usual. Rather than rush through them to meet the deadline for this article, I’m going to put together a separate […]
Bears-Vikings Upon Further Review: A Closer Look at the Referees
Hello Chicago Bears Fans! Well, this is a much sadder second installment in our series than I initially thought it would be after the game on Sunday. So welcome back to my in-season series on the striped ones, the zebras, the arbiters-of-the-yellow-flag: the referees. Let’s briefly review the project: Upon Further Review exists to answer […]
Chicago Bears Midweek Musings: Whiplash
Some random thoughts about the Chicago Bears and other things, mostly football-related as we count down the hours until we get to watch this team play football again: So I may have gotten a little bit ahead of myself tracking the Bears to eclipse the single season scoring record set by the Denver Broncos at […]
Chicago Bears Stat Tracker Week 2: Falling Back to Earth
You’ve heard of the sophomore slump and Week 2 was just that for the Bears offense. We all watched the slog-fest and with it came very little stat accumulation: Let’s talk about the elephant in the room – Caleb Williams hurt his hamstring. He hasn’t been ruled out of Monday’s game (sure, Jan) but most […]
Chicago Bears News: With Tyson Bagent concussed, eyes turn to Case Keenum
The Minnesota Vikings knocked out not one, but two Chciago Bears quarterbacks last Sunday, so odds are it’s Case Keenum time against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Bears also bring back long snapper Scott Daly, snatching him off the New Orleans Saints practice squad. Daly snapped for Chicago in 2024 and 2025. Share your thoughts in […]
Chicago Bears week 3 power rankings roundup
It’s easy to predict the fall when the rise is so rapid, so fast and the follow up is such a face plant. Now we’re getting the “maybe Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson isn’t good” takes flying. Every week, someone is in the comments saying power rankings don’t matter. I’m here to tell you, […]
How are you feeling about the current state of the Chicago Bears?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bears fans and fans across the country. Before we published this week’s Chicago Bears confidence survey in our Feed section on Monday, we discussed waiting for official Caleb Williams news on the severity […]
Chicago Bears Hot Take Tuesday: Shut Up, Losers
As Chicago Bears fans, we have seen the crazy amount of attention (largely negative) that our quarterback, Caleb Williams, receives. We mostly take it in stride because we know how ridiculous most (all?) of the comments are and how they simply are not grounded in reality. We all know what happens on Sunday. Caleb Williams […]
Bears sign long snapper Scott Daly off Saints’ practice squad
The Chicago Bears have signed veteran long snapper Scott Daly from the New Orleans Saints’ practice squad, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reported on Tuesday. By signing Daly onto their 53-man roster, the Bears have effectively signaled they’ll be moving on from current long snapper Beau Gardner, whom the team signed as an undrafted […]
Chicago Bears Injury News: Tyson Bagent in concussion protocol
The Chicago Bears are already expected to be without starting quarterback Caleb Williams for Monday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a hamstring injury, and now QB2 Tyson Bagent’s availability is in question. As first reported by Ian Rapoport, Bagent has entered the NFL’s concussion protocol. It’s unclear when his concussion symptoms started, but […]
Bears-Vikings stock watch: Bradbury down, Muhammad up
Sunday sucked. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. And while they might have dodged serious injury concerns with Caleb Williams, the offense shot itself in the foot with turnovers, penalties and overall sloppy play. It was a terribly disappointing effort that netted just three points, only seven days after they dropped 59. […]
3 Reasons Why the Chicago Bears Lost to the Minnesota Vikings
Welcome back to the second 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. In week 2, the Bears hosted the division rival Minnesota Vikings in their home opener at soggy and sloppy Soldier Field, where […]
NFL Week 3 Power Rankings: Contender or Pretender?
Somehow, someway, the 2026 NFL regular season has turned the page on Week 2, and we’re onto Week 3. After an unpredictable opening weekend of football, things started to level out a bit in Week 2. Even so, there’s still plenty to learn over the next few weeks about which teams are for real and […]
Chicago Bears News: Caleb Williams injury update, plus Ben Johnson’s presser news
The biggest news of Monday for Chicago Bears fans is obviously Caleb Willams injury report, and we have the details (as far as we know) of his diagnosis and outlook. Coach Ben Johnson met with the media, and gave updates and thoughts on Sunday’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings as well. Share your thoughts in […]
Reviewing the Bears’ PFN grades from Week 2 vs. Vikings
Sunday didn’t go according to plan for the Bears. Not only did Caleb Williams suffer a hamstring injury, but Chicago ended up losing 9-3 to the Vikings in a low-scoring affair that was the complete opposite from the high-scoring shootout against the Panthers last week. The rainy conditions made it difficult for either team to […]
Bears struggled in the rain while Vikings adapted
For as high as we all felt in Week 1 watching the Chicago Bears put up 59 points, it was an even lower feeling as the Bears only managed 3 points against the Minnesota Vikings. To make matters even worse, quarterback Caleb Williams hobbled off the field with a hamstring injury. Luckily, the injury isn’t […]
Bears vs. Vikings Game Balls: A No Good, Very Bad Day
Every team has a game where seemingly everything goes wrong. For the Chicago Bears, that game happened on Sunday afternoon at rainy Soldier Field. And to make matters worse, the Bears lost starting QB Caleb Williams for the foreseeable future. Luckily, his injury prognosis looks a lot better now (“week to week”) than it did […]
Updated: Caleb Williams avoided serious injury; is likely ‘week-to-week’
That massive *sigh* you just heard is from the entire Chicago Bears fanbase welcoming the good news just published about their young franchise quarterback. An update that is MUCH better than the initial speculation. Per Tom Pelissero of The Ringer, the prognosis for Caleb Williams is positive, as he avoided a serious hamstring injury. Ultimately, […]
Dear talking heads: Shut up about Caleb Williams’ injury reaction
When you’re at the top of the world, making the spectacular look ordinary, they love you. The moment you slip, they’re ready to pounce. Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears just learned that this week. A week after putting up an insane 59 points on the Carolina Panthers, the offense looked disjointed and undisciplined against […]
Bears vs. Vikings: Inside the Snap Counts, Stats, and so many mistakes
Luckily, the Chicago Bears have a 24-hour rule that gives them a day to either celebrate a win or get over a loss, because this is a game the Bears would like to forget. But before they move on to the Philadelphia Eagles, they’ll need to dissect some of the worst tape this regime has […]
5 Bears Takes: Waiting on a Williams update, red zone failures, and good defense?
Week 2 of the NFL delivered another outstanding weekend of football, but the offense was much harder to find for most teams. Unfortunately, the Chicago Bears were one of those teams, putting up just three points over 60 minutes of football. Despite a final score of 9-3 not going their way, all eyes are on […]
Bears lose Caleb Williams, and the season is now in question
Sunday was about as bad as it could’ve gotten for the Chicago Bears. They fell to the Minnesota Vikings 9-3, putting together a lackluster outing on offense after a stellar Week 1 performance. But most importantly, quarterback Caleb Williams suffered a non-contact injury to his right hamstring, taking him out for the rest of the […]
Chicago Bears News: Caleb Williams getting MRI today, O-Line Issues
The Chicago Bears did not play well against the Minnesota Vikings even before Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring injury. The Vikings outplayed Chicago in the Bears’ home opener, although the Minnesota offense was shut down by the Bears’ defense. That’s not where the problems were for the home team. Share your thoughts here at Windy […]
Updated: Chicago Bears’ Caleb Williams leaves the game with a hamstring injury
In the fourth quarter, while scrambling towards the end zone, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams slid down untouched with an apparent leg injury. Tyson Bagent entered the game. UPDATE: The Bears announced that Williams was ruled out with a hamstring injury. UPDATE: In his postgame press conference, head coach Ben Johnson reiterated that it was […]
Chicago Bears Drop Home Opener to Vikings in Downpour and Lose Caleb Williams to Injury
Hello…Chicago Bears Fans. This is my first post-game writeup, as the Dean of WCG had to step in for me last week as I was stuck abroad in tournament baseball hell. Speaking of hell, let’s get to our postgame, shall we? FIRST QUARTER Vikings take the ball to start the game. They drive down as […]
