A Chicago Bears community
For the first time ever, the NFL will honor the best offensive lineman in the league with the Protector of the Year Award, and as I speculated nine months ago, the Chicago Bears do indeed have a legitimate candidate for the award. Earlier today, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler broke the news of the six nominees for […]
The Chicago Bears have named quarterback Caleb Williams their Offensive Player of the Year for the 2025 season. Williams had a great sophomore year from his growth as a young player, his first career playoff victory, and breaking franchise records. Overall, he took a big leap forward. Williams finished the 2025 season with 3,942 passing […]
It’s time for the final installment of our QB rankings for 2025. I felt we could publish them because, at this point, I don’t think Drake Maye or Sam Darnold’s play in the Super Bowl will affect their spots. They’ve both proven where they should be ranked. As a reminder, these rankings are not just […]
Few expected the 2025 Chicago Bears to make the playoffs, let alone win the NFC North outright. Suffice it to say, it took some exceptional performances throughout this unforgettable season that propelled these Bears to an 11-6 record. With the recent addition of CB Nahshon Wright, four Bears players made the Pro Bowl with OG […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Good news for Bears: Edge rushers are ‘hands down’ the strength of the draft Good news indeed. Colston Loveland eyeing major breakthrough as Bears flip the page to next season Bears tight end Colston Loveland had a promising rookie season with 58 receptions, 713 receiving yards and six touchdowns, plus […]
Earlier today, our guy Aaron Leming gave a detailed breakdown of the performance of the entire Chicago Bears 2025 Draft Class, and it’s safe to say that this was general manager Ryan Poles’ best one yet. At the top of the class were his first two selections, Colston Loveland (10th overall) and Luther Burden III (39th), but […]
1. I’ll admit, I’ve repeatedly cast side-eye at the Seattle Seahawks’ chances of winning it all because I simply couldn’t get behind trusting Sam Darnold, despite his come-up from his early days with the New York Jets. His mid-season spluttering seemed to justify that skepticism, and thrashing a beat-up 49ers defense in the Divisional Round […]
Ian, it’s not too late. I understand why at first interviewing for the Atlanta Falcons job seemed appealing. The Falcons are a team without a first-round pick, with questions at quarterback, and without the cap flexibility to fix everything without some patience and actual skill. Heck, Ryan Pace was even involved in making the mess. […]
For an NFL franchise to be successful, talent acquisition is a key component. For as fun as free agency and blockbuster trades can be, there’s no quicker and more sustainable way for a team to get “good” than drafting well. For a team like the Chicago Bears, the results of that process have long been […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears OC Declan Doyle withdraws his name from Eagles’ OC search Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle has withdrawn his name from consideration for the Eagles’ offensive coordinator job. Bears CB Nahshon Wright named to Pro Bowl Good luck to Nahshon! POLISH SAUSAGE Andy Reid: I knew Matt Nagy wanted an […]
Forty years ago today, the Chicago Bears ended their remarkable season with a 46-10 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XX. Prior to completely dominating the Patriots, the Bears had consecutive playoff shutouts against the New York Giants (21-0) and the Los Angeles Rams (24-0). With just 10 points allowed, the postseason […]
With the college all-star games and the NFL Combine on the horizon, and free agency set for March, we’re still very early in the offseason, but the hunger for draft content never subsides. For me, these early mock drafts are a way to learn about some possible prospects the Chicago Bears could target, and with […]
Velus Jones underperformed during his time with the Chicago Bears. He fumbled. He dropped passes. He generally made the offense go the wrong direction. I don’t think anybody was shocked to learn that in late October of 2024, the Bears had enough and cut Jones loose. Since his release, Jones has been signed by the […]
Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle has removed himself from consideration for the Eagles’ vacant offensive coordinator opening, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported on Monday. Doyle, 29, had been requested to interview with Philadelphia when the Bears’ season ended after their Divisional Round loss to the Rams. Bears head coach Ben Johnson granted him permission […]
Chicago Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright has been named as a replacement addition to the 2026 Pro Bowl games, the team announced on Monday. Wright will be replacing Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell on the roster. The 27-year-old had an incredible breakout season, leading the NFL with eight takeaways, five of which being interceptions. The Bears signed […]
Recently, Pro Football Focus did an assessment of the best free agent fit for each NFL team, and for the Chicago Bears, they picked Trey Hendrickson, the star defensive end of the Cincinnati Bengals. Here’s what they wrote. While the Bears found success with Montez Sweat, their edge pass-rush rotation was otherwise limited, as no other edge rusher […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears are the new America’s Team Despite losing to the Rams, Ben Johnson’s cardiac Bears captured the country’s imagination and have a bright future. Dennis Allen saved his best for last — but Bears need more help on D Across the board, DL, LB, DB’s… you name it… Bears’ season […]
Not gonna lie, it still stings a bit that the Chicago Bears lost that game to the Los Angeles Rams. But I guess if the Bears were gonna go out, better it be in such a remarkable game against a perennial playoff contender and MVP candidate, than against the Packers. Plus, Caleb Williams gave us […]
I know, I know, we’re a Chicago Bears site, so most of us are going to pick our guy, but I wanted to spotlight the results of this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey about the 2024 quarterbacks. Before we get into the results, a reminder that if you haven’t signed up to get the weekly […]
Note: Apologies for this both being late and shorter than usual. I had a pretty bad cold to start the week, and the Texas power grid has been on and off the last 48 hours due to weather. So I couldn’t put in play reviews like normal. The full season review will be a robust […]
The 2026 Senior Bowl takes place Saturday, Jan. 31 at 1:30 p.m. CST and airs live on the NFL Network. Though the game gets a lot of attention, it’s the practices that generate most of the interest from NFL teams. Often times, media members will stay in Mobile for the three days of practice, only […]
The Eagles requested an interview on Thursday with Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle for the same role, a request that Chicago granted. Doyle, 29, was hired by the Bears last offseason as the youngest offensive coordinator in the NFL. Though he didn’t call plays — that duty went to head coach Ben Johnson — he […]
Following the Chicago Bears’ first playoff win in 15 seasons, the season ended in heartbreak with a 20-17 loss at home to the Los Angeles Rams. Although the season didn’t end the way fans were hoping for, there’s plenty of reason for optimism moving forward into the upcoming offseason. For starters, the Bears’ core players […]
You’ve heard it so much you’re probably tired of hearing it at this point: the Chicago Bears’ top priority this offseason is to beef up their anemic pass rush. Surprise, surprise, ESPN’s latest primer on what eliminated teams like the Bears need to do this spring agrees with that. “The Bears’ inability to pressure opposing […]
Everybody has been wanting to see it, so I decided to do it. The amount of jaw-dropping throws Caleb Williams has had this season has been remarkable. Every week, he seems to come up with an amazing throw that you think, “Well, that can’t be topped,” and then a week later, he does. These are […]
