A Chicago Bears community
Hello, Chicago Bears fans! Well, after the thrilling game against the Niners that, unfortunately, ended in disappointment, the 1st overall seed and bye in the first round of the NFL playoffs is off the table for the Beloved. However, there is still something to play for, as a win against the Detroit Lions (or an […]
The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and the final week of the 2025 season finds your Chicago Bears firmly atop the NFC North and locked in to the #2 seed in the NFC with a win. This week, Chicago hosts the defending NFC North champion Detroit Lions in a rematch of their […]

Chicago Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham has been up for a general manager job a few times the last couple of years, but this offseason feels like it’ll finally happen for him. There may only be a few general manager jobs open, but Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer lists Cunningham first on his annual Future […]

After a week’s hiatus for the holidays, the Reacts results have returned, and Chicago Bears fans are still overwhelmingly confident the franchise is headed in the right direction. Following the December 20 win over the Green Bay Packers, our results hit a season high 98%, and last week’s loss in San Francisco barely dented our […]
These two franchises have been playing each other since 1930; only back then, it was the Chicago Bears vs the Portsmouth Spartans. The Bears lost that first matchup, and they’ve lost the last three against the Detroit Lions, but Chicago holds a (105-81-5) all-time record in the series. For Week 18, there’s not quite as […]
Finishing off the regular season with the division rival Detroit Lions is a testament to how much an NFL season changes from the beginning to end. It’s a demonstration of how teams evolve, get better, or alternatively, get worse, get injured or suffer from bad luck. Think back to when these two teams met in […]
For all the key additions the Chicago Bears have made last offseason, from Nahshon Wright down to rookies like Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III, Jone Thuney might well be the most important player the franchise added to its ranks this year. After years of question marks along the offensive line, new stalwarts Thuney, Drew […]
The final injury report of the regular season is out for the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions, and all things considered, neither looks too bad for this time of the season. The good news for Chicago is that wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) got his first practice in on Friday, albeit limited, and is listed […]
The Chicago Bears are into the playoffs with a winning record for the first time since 2018.

The first-place Chicago Bears are coming off a heartbreaker in San Francisco, but they are also coming off a weekend that saw them clinch the NFC North. This Sunday, they have a chance to secure the two seed, and the following weekend, they’ll play in the first playoff game at Soldier Field since 2018. It’s a glorious […]
What is happening? Did I wake up in an alternate universe? What on Earth are people talking about? How is there a debate happening on social media and across various Chicago-based media platforms debating if the Chicago Bears should rest their players in week 18 and punt on the 2-seed? This is the craziest debate […]
ESPN’s Ben Solak just released his All-Rookie rosters in order to “highlight standout debut seasons”, and a pair of Chicago Bears made the list, both on offense. Luther Burden, the second-round pick out of Missouri (#39 overall), made the first team alongside Tet McMillan of the Panthers (#8) and Emeka Egbuka (#19). Burden is making […]
Few games ever live up to the hype, but Sunday night’s meeting of the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers definitely did. It didn’t finish the way Chicago wanted, but it was a thrilling game and showed a national audience that Caleb Williams has arrived. And for the most jaded or skeptical Bears fans, it […]
Caleb Williams recorded his first 300 yard game of 2025 in the shootout against the 49ers on Sunday night. He added two touchdown passes (both absolute highlight throws) to the ledger and now sits at a comfortable 25 on the year. Caleb surpassed both the TD and yardage over/under bets from the sportsbooks during this […]
Just like that, the 2025 NFL regular season is heading into its final week. It feels like every year, most fans go through the same emotions of feeling like the season just started, and yet, in the blink of an eye, the 18-week regular season closes out. For some teams, the start of the playoffs […]
The Chicago Bears faced off with the San Francisco 49ers on the road, and although they came up short, they didn’t go down without a fight. This 42-38 loss to the 49ers consisted of exhilarating, inspired football from both offenses during Sunday Night Football as they went toe to toe in a shootout. The Bears […]

The Bears have already clinched the NFC North, and they’ve secured home-field advantage in at least the first round of the upcoming playoffs. That said, it was still unfortunate that their dreams of securing the No. 1 seed in the NFC came to an end with their 42-38 loss to the 49ers. You could probably […]
That game didn’t go as hoped, but I, along with many others, came away feeling pretty good about the Chicago Bears. They fell a play short against the San Francisco 49ers, but rookies Colston Loveland (21 years old) and Luther Burden III (22) combined for 14 catches, 233 yards, and two touchdowns. Caleb Williams (24) […]
You can’t win them all, but the Chicago Bears certainly gave the San Francisco 49ers a scare on Sunday night in Santa Clara, California. In one of the toughest games on their 2025 schedule, the Bears came out with tons of firepower but ultimately fell just two yards (and a few seconds) short in a […]
