3 Reasons Why the Chicago Bears Won vs. the Philadelphia Eagles
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. In week 3, the Bears hosted the 2-0 Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night in front of a national audience and played inspired […]
10 Thoughts on the NFL, Week 3 Edition: All Hail Case Keenum
1. If that Monday Night Football game was a “true team loss” for the Philadelphia Eagles, it was no less of a “true team win” for the Chicago Bears. Head coach Ben Johnson actually had ESPN color analyst Troy Aikman saying NFL teams would take what Case Keenum—a guy who is now on his eighth […]
Chicago Bears Midweek Musings: Phenomenal
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: I thought Week 3 was phenomenal. Started with a convincing Packers loss and ended with a convincing Bears win. Can it get any better? We’re three weeks […]
Bears Question of the Day: Should Bagent or Keenum start vs. the Jets?
Where were you for “The Case Keenum” game? This is one we are going to remember for years as Bears fans. A 38-year-old QB who was basically brought on as QB3 so he could be an assistant QB coach to Caleb Williams. A player who has admitted he was about to retire until Ben Johnson […]
Chicago Bears News: Case Keenum Mania hits, but does he start next week?
Case Keenum has made himself a Chicago Bears Legend with his strong game against a good Philadelphia Eagles team, and despite the fact that many members of the media are telling coach Ben Johnson what he “must do” the coach himself hasn’t announced his plans for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. Johnson may […]
Are you confident in the Bears and their quarterback room?
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. Now that’s more like it! After having everything that could go wrong go wrong in the rain against the Minnesota Vikings, the Chicago Bears got back […]
Chicago Bears Week 4 power rankings roundup
As the Chicago Bears move into week 4 and the first “quarter” of the season wraps up, it’s a good time to take stock of where they stand. While the season is no longer divisible by four, like in the 16-game season era, it’s still a good spot to stop and reflect on where the […]
Bears outplay and outcoach the Eagles
The NFL scriptwriters were like, ‘You thought the 2025 Chicago Bears season was a fun ride; wait till you get a load of what we got cooked up in 2026!’ Such a dramatic start to the season for the Bears, but last night’s game would feel right at home as the backdrop of a cheesy Hallmark […]
Bears vs. Eagles Game Balls: Keenum Shines, Defense Has Hope
Eights days after an injury to the team’s starting quarterback, and with thoughts of a possible lost season tormenting fans, the Chicago Bears set out on Monday Night Football to remind everyone that their championship aspirations are going nowhere. In one of the most impressive games of the Ben Johnson era, the Bears annihilated the […]
10 Bears Takes: A Ben Johnson First, Case Keenum’s Legendary Night, and more
To put it mildly, last Sunday was nothing short of an early-season disaster for the Chicago Bears. Not only did they lose a game they had multiple chances to win, but they also lost starting quarterback Caleb Williams for the next three to four weeks. As if that wasn’t complicated enough, there was plenty of […]
Hot Take Tuesday: The Case Keenum Game
What a phenomenal night. It was a game where Vegas, NFL experts nationwide, and even most (hand-raised) Chicagoans thought it was a long shot that the Chicago Bears could beat the Philadelphia Eagles without 18 in the backfield. We were wrong. I was wrong. In what can only be described as “the Case Keenum game,” […]
Chicago Bears Stock Watch: Keenum, Raymond shine in win over Eagles
Monday night’s game looked like an uphill battle earlier in the week. The Eagles came into Chicago 2-0 and the Chicago Bears were without their dynamic quarterback and their young backup. Starting a third-string quarterback, even at home, against a perennial playoff team is rarely a recipe for success. But as fans are beginning to […]
Don’t cancel the Chicago Bears’ season just yet
As someone who’s written a lot of articles and shared a lot of sports takes in my career, let me give you an invaluable piece of advice: Sometimes, it helps to wait a bit. Because the reality is, you don’t know what will happen. I know that concept gets lost in our “attention” economy, where […]
NFL Week 4 Power Rankings: Biggest September Surprises
With Week 3 wrapping up, the NFL will turn the calendar to October as it heads into Week 4. Although the opening month of the season is over, there’s still plenty to learn about all 32 teams around the NFL. Week 2 brought key quarterback injuries, leading to multiple backups making starts and further clouding […]
Bears vs. Eagles: Inside the Snap Counts, Stats, and a Sucker Sneak
Yeah, that rainy game last week was the anomaly, because with a 27 to 7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Chicago Bears are who we thought they were. While many expected (including me) the Bears to dust off an old-school ground-and-pound game plan to protect 38-year-old Case Keenum, Chicago went the other direction and […]
Bears show resilience in primetime win over Eagles
Coming into Monday night after a 9-3 loss to the Vikings, with third-string quarterback Case Keenum thrust into a starting role, the Bears had several question marks around them in Week 3. They answered those questions in about as decisively as you could possibly imagine. The Bears trounced the Eagles 27-7 on Monday night, excelling […]
Chicago Bears News: Bears & 3rd string QB demolish Philadelphia Eagles
Chicago Bears fans already knew what the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles, NFL & country learned tonight… Case Keenum can still play football at a high level. For the second season in a row, the Bears demolished the favored Eagles on national television, this time it was Case Keenum and the passing game, plus a […]
Case Keenum finds Fountain of Youth as Chicago Bears Dominate Philadelphia Eagles
On a Monday night at Soldier Field that felt more like a statement than a surprise, the Chicago Bears took a 2-0 Philadelphia Eagles team that had been talking about unfinished business from last November and buried them 27-7, turning primetime into a Case Keenum clinic on old-man football, and a much-maligned defense with a […]
Dillon Thieneman’s first NFL interception couldn’t have come at a better time
Chicago Bears rookie Dillon Thieneman just came up big. The first-round safety’s first career interception couldn’t have come on a more clutch occasion: swiping Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Andy Dalton in the red zone to take away a potential touchdown and maintain the Bears’ 7-0 lead in the second quarter. (In case you’re wondering, starting quarterback […]

Vikings Trade JJ McCarthy, making it one of the worst picks this century
With Jaxson Dart out for the season, it’s no surprise the New York Giants were looking for help in their quarterback room. Jameis Winston was the only viable QB other than Dart, and after watching him play two games, viable seems like a stretch. On Monday, the Giants sent a 5th-round pick to the Minnesota […]
