A Chicago Bears community
The bad man returns. Aaron Rodgers gets one more shot at the Chicago Bears since leaving the Green Bay Packers. Rodgers might not be at the height of his powers, but he’s still an effective quarterback. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in first place in the AFC North and have their own playoff aspirations. For Chicago, […]
Regardless of whether it’s been perfect or not, it’s hard to argue that second-year Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams hasn’t improved his game in 2025. Just to list a few areas of improvement, he has: more yards and touchdowns per game, a better pressure-to-sack ratio, more big-time throws, and fewer turnover-worthy plays. Perhaps not coincidentally, […]
The final injury report for the Chicago Bears and the Pittsburgh Steelers is out, and there’s some good news and some bad news for the Bears. First, the bad… All three starting linebackers have been ruled out for Sunday’s game. T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring), Tremaine Edmunds (groin), and Noah Sewell (elbow) missed the entire week of […]
The time has come. The Bears have one last shot. The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming to town, and so is Aaron Rodgers. Will he play? He was limited in Thursday’s practice, and there’s certainly a chance that he could play this Sunday against the Bears. Will Aaron Rodgers play, and can the Bears beat him […]

The latest Bears Banter Podcast has dropped! The Chicago Bears keep winning football games, and Bears fans have been trying to deflect a lot of hate and negative comments from other fan bases. Kevin Fishbain from The Athletic joins the podcast this week, and he tells Bears fans not to worry about any of it […]
The first-place Chicago Bears take on the first-place Pittsburgh Steelers is not a sentence I thought I’d be writing back when the schedule was announced. Neither team is favored to be still leading the division at season’s end, but the winner of this game will see their playoff probability shoot up. The (7-3) Bears have […]

There’s still one more practice this week, but the news at linebacker for the Chicago Bears is bleak, with all three starters sitting out on Wednesday and Thursday. T.J. Edwards hasn’t played since the Cincinnati Bengals game on November 2, as he’s still dealing with a hamstring issue and recovering from hand surgery. Tremaine Edmunds […]
The 2025 NFL International series of games has concluded, and as expected, it was a big success.

The last time the Chicago Bears played the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, Bears kicker Cairo Santos nailed a 51-yard field goal as time expired to give them a 24 to 22 win. The next time will be on Sunday, December 7, at 3:25 p.m. (CT), following today’s announcement that the game has been […]
Oh, look, it’s our old enemy, Aaron Rodgers. Coming into Soldier Field with his new team, nursing an injury. He’s 42 now, and you would think past his prime. In fact, the things he’s saying, he appears to be more reflective, a little more chill and ready to, in his own words, let bygones be […]
It might have been an ugly win, but you never apologize for winning in the NFL. The Bears picked up their third win in a row on Sunday, defeating the Vikings 19-17 off a last-second field goal by Cairo Santos. The Bears got out to an early lead, though the defense ended up giving the […]
Happy victory Thursday Bears fans! The cardiac Bears v2.0 strike again (the 2001 team is starting to get really nervous the 2025 is going to yank their moniker fully.) After leading the majority of the game, the Minnesota Vikings scored 2 late 4th quarter touchdowns and suddenly the Bears were sensing déjà vu all over […]

The Chicago Bears couldn’t keep Caleb Williams clean again on Sunday, but the Minnesota Vikings only got to him twice. The Vikes sent bliters from various angles, and they sent them often — on 66.7% of his drop-backs, according to Next Gen Stats — the second-highest blitz rate from any team this year. Caleb managed […]

On Wednesday, the Chicago Bears opened the 21-day practice window for starting nickleback Kyler Gordon, who was placed on injured reserve on October 25 with a calf injury. He’ll now be able to practice with the team while they determine if he’s ready to return to the active roster. Gordon’s window was opened just five […]
As the Chicago Bears prepare for their 11th game of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the first official team injury reports for week 12 have been released. Altogether, six Bears were listed as DNP (did not practice) on Wednesday, including: DB Jaquan Brisker (shoulder), DB Kevin Byard III (rest), LB Tremaine Edmunds […]
Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write 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 cornerback Nahshon Wright, who honored John Beam, his former college coach on Sunday, in an emotional play that also personified how Wright […]
Another week, another game winning drive for Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears. Yes, that’s the same opening sentence as last week. No, Caleb Williams didn’t need to do much on this particular game winning drive, but it still counts! That’s now five (5) such drives on the season, tied for the league lead, and […]
