A Chicago Bears community
Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar writes about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai, the seventh-round surprise who has been a bellcow back at times, and always a force multiplier in Ben […]
Welcome back to STEP Differential. STEP stands for Sack + Turnover(x2) + Explosive Play Differential. Make sure you’re flipping through pages 2-5 to see everything broken out by component and the overall performance of the STEP Differential in individual games. Infogram below: Not a lot of surprises with respect to the statistic as the only […]
This is such a fun game to rehash. The Chicago Bears went on the road and absolutely bullied the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. The biggest win for the Bears in years was so satisfying. The haters are having a hard time responding. It’s going to be really hard to find three down this […]
Football and the holidays go together like peanut butter and jelly. This is the perfect time of year when you can sit down for a long holiday weekend and watch football for the entire time. Between Thanksgiving, Black Friday, college football, and typical NFL Sundays, it’s one of my laziest weekends of the year, and […]
There’s been a lot to like about Ben Johnson during his time as the Chicago Bears head coach, but his honesty and accountability when meeting the media are something we haven’t seen in Chicago in a long time. Yesterday, he was asked about Caleb Williams’ accuracy (58.1% through 12 games) and how concerned he is […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Ben Johnson: We’re winning in spite of our passing game, not because of it – NBC Sports The Bears are 9-3, but their coach wants to see more out of the passing offense. Bears coach Ben Johnson voices concern about passing attack as QB Caleb Williams’ production dips – Chicago […]
The center position has been a revolving door of mediocrity for the Chicago Bears for years. There were flashes of middling and some occasional decent or passable play, but it was mostly below average. For the few years prior to the 2025 offseason, they tried to put a band-aid on the position through free agency, […]
If you didn’t know any better, you’d think Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears were fighting for a Wild Card berth, not currently owning the No. 1 seed in the NFC. And that’s exactly the way he wants it. When asked by reporters about the Bears sitting atop the NFC after their win on Black […]
For you stat hounds, Caleb’s line against the Eagles hurts his overall pace and puts into question whether or not he can break 4k and where he’ll land on the franchise leaderboard. Williams finished Friday’s win with 154 yards and one score. The 2,722 yards through 12 games puts him on a pace for 3,856 […]
The Bears entered the 2025 NFL season with varying degrees of expectations. Some just wanted them to compete. Others wanted them to simply make the playoffs. A select few had very high aspirations. Here we are, 13 weeks into the season, and I think it’s time for us all to raise our sights a little […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL Bears Win Dens occur on Victory Mondays. In case you were wondering. BEARSSSSSS Perfect? No. Improving? Yes. Bears QB Caleb Williams is headed right direction compared to predecessors – Chicago Sun-Times Williams still has things to work on, namely throwing accuracy, but he’s trending ahead of previous Bears first-round picks. Rams’ […]
The NFL’s oldest rivalry is renewed for Week 14 as the (9-3) Chicago Bears head north to take on the (8-3-1) Green Bay Packers in their first of two meetings over the next three weeks. This game doesn’t need any extra hype, but the Bears are currently the NFC’s number one seed, and the winner […]
Not gonna lie, before the season started, I was just hoping the Chicago Bears would be playing some meaningful football in November, because it’s been a while since we’ve experienced that. I never imagined that the Chicago Bears would enter December as the NUMBER ONE SEED IN THE NFC! But here we are. Look at […]
The NFL is a better place when the Chicago Bears are good. That’s just not my bias as a Bears fan talking; that’s from a marketing and promotions standpoint. The Bears are a ratings draw even when they are down. Just look at how often the networks put them in prime time and on standalone […]
The Bears picked up their fifth win in a row on Black Friday, bringing them to nine wins in their last 10 games. They marched into Philadelphia and picked up a key victory over the Eagles, defeating them 24-15 to improve to 9-3 for the 2025 NFL season. On offense, the Bears were propelled by […]
Ryan Poles has officially done it: he’s worked his way completely out of the doghouse with Chicago Bears fans. After years of asking when the Bears would finally take the North and never give it back, we’re nearly there, thanks to Poles’ rapid rebuild of a Bears squad that went 5-12 just a season ago. […]
If you told me that the Chicago Bears would go into Lincoln Financial Field and defeat the Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday, I would have thought it was plausible. The Bears have been playing very good, and we just saw the Eagles blow a big lead against another team the Bears have defeated this year […]
With an offensive performance that would make Walter Payton and Matt Suhey proud, the Chicago Bears went into Philadelphia and dominated the trenches in all four quarters and came out with a statement win. Here are my notes from the signature performance. Chicago Bears Offense: Chicago Bears Defense: Bears Special Teams: What about you? Did […]
“What they gonna say now?! “safety Jaquan Brisker yelled as he headed to the Chicago Bears locker room after their 24 to 15 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. “What they gonna say now?! “he repeated. The players have heard the chatter for weeks now. They haven’t beaten anyone. They’re pretenders. They’re frauds. They’re lucky. Well, […]

It wasn’t quite as dominant as Clubber Lang knocking out Rocky Balboa, but the Chicago Bears did the unthinkable. They went into Philly, and they smacked the Philadelphia Eagles around for the entire world to see. At one point in the game, the broadcast team described the Bears’ dominant run game as delivering body blows […]
Despite no national analysts really giving them a chance, the Chicago Bears are (9-3) following a thoroughly dominant 24-15 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in front of a hostile crowd on Black Friday. For the majority of four quarters, the Bears dominated the play and dictated the pace. That’s not something even the most optimistic […]
No more half-stepping. No more equivocating. No more hand-wringing. It’s time to get irrational, Bears fans. (Not that we haven’t already been for our entire lives.) For those of us holding back, Friday’s win over the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles gave us permission to come out and say it with our chest: The Chicago Bears […]

The Chicago Bears did it again. For the second straight week, they knocked off a first-place team, but this time, their 24-15 win over the Philadelphia Eagles moved them up to the number two seed in the NFC. This Sunday, the top-seeded Rams play at the Carolina Panthers, and if they lose, the Bears will […]
