We’ve talked about some crazy games during our time doing Bear & Balanced, but none quite as crazy as yesterday’s 47 to 42 Chicago Bears win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Eight lead changes, 1,071 total yards of offense, 31 fourth-quarter points, and a couple of firsts in NFL history by the Bears. Chicago shook off […]
It was a wild Halloween weekend. In fact, I think I’ve aged about 15 years since I took my children trick-or-treating on Friday night. All of that is to say that I hope we never have to watch a ballgame like that one against the Cincinnati Bengals again. But how fun was it to see […]
The Bears are in the thick of the playoff hunt. Sitting at 5-3 after a last minute victory against the Bengals, it appears the Bears would be buyers ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline. Insiders like Jay Glazer have been noting that the Bears will be aggressive in adding to their roster. Many around the league […]
Bears edge rusher Dayo Odeyingbo suffered a torn Achilles in the team’s win over the Bengals on Sunday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport announced on Monday. As a result, he will miss the remainder of the 2025 regular season. Odeyingbo was one of the prized free agent acquisitions that Ryan Poles made this past offseason, as […]
Anyone else still struggling to catch their breath after the final two and a half minutes of Sunday’s game in Cincinnati? It was an up-and-down game that saw eight lead changes, and when it felt like the Chicago Bears had all but salted the game away with just over two minutes remaining, the Bengals scored […]
In an offensive shootout that featured eight lead changes and included 31 points in the 4th quarter alone, the Chicago Bears came away with the much-needed victory. Here are my notes. Offense: Defense: Special Teams: What about you? What were some of your top takeaways from the insane win in Cincinnati?
The Bears head into the 2025 NFL trade deadline on a high note, having defeated the Bengals 47-42 on Sunday in one of the craziest matchups in the team’s recent history. Now that they sit at 5-3 coming out of Week 9, they’re well positioned for what should be a competitive playoff race for the […]
That was a fantastic and fun roller-coaster-of-emotions type of game, with so many lead changes and improbable moments. On Sunday afternoon, the Chicago Bears beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 47-42. That was Chicago’s most points scored since 2018, when they put up 48. This was also the first time the Bears had ever won a game […]
The Chicago Bears fought for all 60 minutes, and in the end, they came out victorious against the Cincinnati Bengals, overcoming a huge Bengals’ fourth-quarter comeback. After this 47-42 win, the Bears’ advance to 5-3 on the season. This high-scoring game was equally exciting and messy, leaving fans on the tip of their toes. We […]

The Chicago Bears and the New York Giants will meet for Week 10 on Sunday, November 9, at Noon (CT) from the Windy City, and right now, our partners at FanDuel Sportsbook have the home team as a 3.5-point favorite. The point total over/under for the game is 48.5, and considering the (5-3) Bears and […]
It’s not hyperbolic to call that Chicago Bears 47 to 42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals one of the craziest games in Bears history. It was a back-and-forth contest with over a thousand combined yards of offense that fittingly came down to the final seconds. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams continues to show that clutch-gene that […]
It was a barnburner from start to finish, but the Chicago Bears came away from Sunday with a 47-42 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, improving to 5-3 on the 2025 season. Both defenses failed to put together solid outings, while both offenses were tremendous in the showdown in Cincinnati. The Bears moved the ball consistently […]
That winning streak was fun while it lasted, so let’s see if the Chicago Bears can take the first step towards another when they meet up with the Cincinnati Bengals today. By definition, a winning streak is at least three games in a row, and the last time the Bears had multiple winning streaks in […]
The Chicago Bears (4-3) are in Ohio to take on the Cincinnati Bengals (3-5), and the kickoff is at Noon (CT) on CBS. Each team has just announced all their inactive players for the game, and we have them here. CHICAGO INACTIVES WR – Luther Burden III RB – Roschon Johnson RB – D’Andre Swift […]
Good morning, Bears fans. Hopefully the extra hour of sleep gave the Bears an extra hour of planning to beat the Bengals. Last week’s loss to the Baltimore Ravens was a step backwards for the 4-3 Chicago Bears and their possible playoff hopes, but this year’s squad can’t possibly turn this loss into a ten-game […]
Hello, Chicago Bears Fans! Our WCG writers are coming strong this week as the Bears look to get back on track after a disappointing loss against the Baltimore Ravens last week. This week is again a tale of injury reports, as the Bengals are likely to be without their best defensive player, Trey Hendrickson, and […]
We’re approaching the midpoint of the NFL season, and the Chicago Bears have a winning record (4-3), just ike they did a year ago. We all know how last season turned out, but this Bears team has a chance to bounce back from last week’s stinker in Baltimore against the (3-5) Cincinnati Bengals. Chicago should […]
The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and week 9 finds your 4-3 Chicago Bears right back in the crosshairs of a .500 season with the dream of playoff football seemingly slipping through their grasp. Or, right back at the front of the pack in terms of playoff odds. In this weekly series, […]

This summer, I took the opportunity to survey the landscape of Chicago Bears rivalries entering the 2025 NFL season. This included a ranking of the team’s (or fanbase’s) ten biggest rivals, with three honorable mentions thrown in for good measure: My ranking took a number of factors into consideration, but now that the we are […]
1.) 2005, Bears @ Saints: Bears beat the Saints at Tiger Stadium for their first 4 game win streak since 2001 In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which tore off nearly 70% of the Superdome’s roof and forced the Saints to play their “home games” across three different stadiums, including LSU’s Tiger Stadium, Kyle Orton […]
One week ago, our fanbase was still riding high after watching the Chicago Bears win a fourth straight game. According to our Reacts survey, our confidence in the franchise was 96%. Also, only 7% of our fans believed this 2025 version of the team is still the “same old Bears.” So things were looking up. […]
On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll got some help from a couple of friends to preview this Sunday’s Chicago Bears vs Cincinnati Bengals game. First, she’s joined by our very own Bill Zimmerman to preview the Bears’ side of the ball and how Chicago’s offense can get going against a struggling Bengals team. […]
