Bears vs. Vikings Game Balls: A No Good, Very Bad Day
Every team has a game where seemingly everything goes wrong. For the Chicago Bears, that game happened on Sunday afternoon at rainy Soldier Field. And to make matters worse, the Bears lost starting QB Caleb Williams for the foreseeable future. Luckily, his injury prognosis looks a lot better now (“week to week”) than it did […]
Updated: Caleb Williams avoided serious injury; is likely ‘week-to-week’
That massive *sigh* you just heard is from the entire Chicago Bears fanbase welcoming the good news just published about their young franchise quarterback. An update that is MUCH better than the initial speculation. Per Tom Pelissero of The Ringer, the prognosis for Caleb Williams is positive, as he avoided a serious hamstring injury. Ultimately, […]
Dear talking heads: Shut up about Caleb Williams’ injury reaction
When you’re at the top of the world, making the spectacular look ordinary, they love you. The moment you slip, they’re ready to pounce. Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears just learned that this week. A week after putting up an insane 59 points on the Carolina Panthers, the offense looked disjointed and undisciplined against […]
Bears vs. Vikings: Inside the Snap Counts, Stats, and so many mistakes
Luckily, the Chicago Bears have a 24-hour rule that gives them a day to either celebrate a win or get over a loss, because this is a game the Bears would like to forget. But before they move on to the Philadelphia Eagles, they’ll need to dissect some of the worst tape this regime has […]
5 Bears Takes: Waiting on a Williams update, red zone failures, and good defense?
Week 2 of the NFL delivered another outstanding weekend of football, but the offense was much harder to find for most teams. Unfortunately, the Chicago Bears were one of those teams, putting up just three points over 60 minutes of football. Despite a final score of 9-3 not going their way, all eyes are on […]
Bears lose Caleb Williams, and the season is now in question
Sunday was about as bad as it could’ve gotten for the Chicago Bears. They fell to the Minnesota Vikings 9-3, putting together a lackluster outing on offense after a stellar Week 1 performance. But most importantly, quarterback Caleb Williams suffered a non-contact injury to his right hamstring, taking him out for the rest of the […]
Chicago Bears News: Caleb Williams getting MRI today, O-Line Issues
The Chicago Bears did not play well against the Minnesota Vikings even before Caleb Williams suffered a hamstring injury. The Vikings outplayed Chicago in the Bears’ home opener, although the Minnesota offense was shut down by the Bears’ defense. That’s not where the problems were for the home team. Share your thoughts here at Windy […]
Updated: Chicago Bears’ Caleb Williams leaves the game with a hamstring injury
In the fourth quarter, while scrambling towards the end zone, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams slid down untouched with an apparent leg injury. Tyson Bagent entered the game. UPDATE: The Bears announced that Williams was ruled out with a hamstring injury. UPDATE: In his postgame press conference, head coach Ben Johnson reiterated that it was […]
Chicago Bears Drop Home Opener to Vikings in Downpour and Lose Caleb Williams to Injury
Hello…Chicago Bears Fans. This is my first post-game writeup, as the Dean of WCG had to step in for me last week as I was stuck abroad in tournament baseball hell. Speaking of hell, let’s get to our postgame, shall we? FIRST QUARTER Vikings take the ball to start the game. They drive down as […]
Bears vs. Vikings live game message board and fan discussion
Talk about the Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings game right here with your fellow WCG members all afternoon! The Bears won the last matchup between these two teams, but the Vikings have gotten the better of the Bears recently, winning eight of their last ten games. Last year’s win came courtesy of Cairo Santos’ game-winning […]
Bears-Vikings Inactives: Ozzy Trapilo out for CHI, Brian O’Neill in for MIN
The Chicago Bears (1-0) and Minnesota Vikings (1-0) kick off at Soldier Field at Noon (CT), and it’s been a very rain-filled weekend. The tarp was on the field earlier, but it’s off now as the players get warmed up. There’s a chance of rain all afternoon, but the wind may be a bigger factor. Each squad […]
Chicago Bears vs Minnesota Vikings Week 2 Pregame Live Message Board
Good morning, Bears fans. I think scoring 59 points is something we could get used to – even though compared to Chicago Bears’ history, it would be incredibly odd and incredibly nerve-wracking to pair this offense with a defense that… to phrase it charitably, stumbled out of the gate against Bryce Young and the Carolina […]
Bears vs. Vikings: How to watch and listen, previews, odds, and more
The (1-0) Chicago Bears will look to win their home opener on Sunday against the (1-0) Minnesota Vikings, and thanks to the Detroit Lions’ loss on Thursday Night Football, whichever team comes out on top will be all alone in first in the NFC North. After a historic Week 1, the Bears will look to […]
NFL fans think the Chicago Bears will have the best offense in 2026
I always enjoy seeing how NFL fans vote whenever SB Nation’s Reacts features a question related to the Chicago Bears. It’s one thing to post a poll on Windy City Gridiron’s Feed section, since that’s filled with mostly Bears fans (and a few trolls), but it’s another thing when there’s a question posed on the […]
Bears vs Vikings: Minnesota may not blitz Caleb Williams as much at Soldier Field
On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll previews the Week 2 matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings with longtime friend of the show, Tyler Forness, who covers the Vikings for A to Z Sports, and also with our guy, Bears Over Beers cohost Bryan Orenchuk. They kick things off by going […]
Let’s hope this Colston Loveland prediction comes true for the Bears this Sunday
After watching second-year Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland emerge as one of the league’s best last season, it was pretty jarring to see him finish the team’s season opener with zero catches for zero yards. Logically, there could be a number of reasons for this: the Bears dominating on the ground so much that […]
Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings: Week 2 Players to Watch
The NFL season is always evolving. Week 2 arrives with just a bit more insight into who the teams are and how they project to attack the next opponent. In this weekly series, I’ll feature one player from the Chicago Bears opponent on each side of the ball who I think is integral to their […]
Bears Discussion: Vikings previews, 2027 NFL Draft CB prospects, DFS, and more
The Bears are coming off of a victory in their first game of the 2026-27 season, but they follow things up with an NFC North showdown against the Vikings.

Chicago Bears Week 2 Flashbacks: Grossman, Amukamara, Piñeiro, and more!
Climb aboard the Gridiron Time Machine as we rev the engines up for another season-long trip down memory lane! 1.) 2006, Bears vs. Lions: Rex Grossman has a career day as Chicago rolls.

Bears-Vikings Franchise Connections
The Chicago Bears will look to continue their winning ways and improve to 2-0 on Sunday, when they take on the Minnesota Vikings in Chicago’s home opener at Soldier Field.

Bears-Vikings: Keys to a Chicago victory
The Chicago Bears face the difficult task of following up on their 59-point season debut against one of the league’s most notorious defensive coordinators. If you haven’t heard by now, this Sunday is set to be a chess match between Ben Johnson and Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores. The home crowd inside Soldier Field […]
Bears-Vikings Final Injury Report: Chicago all in; Kyler Murray out for Minnesota
The Chicago Bears will host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in an NFC North matchup, with the winner moving to 2-0 and taking the early division lead.

Vikings at Bears Q&A: Ben Johnson vs Brian Flores
Hey, I have a little fact for you that you probably hadn’t heard. It really hasn’t been talked about locally in Chicago media, and I haven’t heard it mentioned at all on the national shows. I would have thought it would have gotten more attention, but it’s mostly flown under the radar. In week one, […]
Chicago Bears Big Play Breakdowns from Week 1
There’s a lot to love about Ben Johnson but his focus on hunting explosive plays may be my favorite part of his football philosophy. The Bears logged nine explosive plays (a run of 10 or more yards or a pass of 20 or more yards) in Sunday’s monster victory against the Carolina Panthers. Four of […]
Chicago Bears News: Health concerns for Bears, Minnesota Vikings remain
There’s some clarity on both the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Viking injury reports, as one key Viking player, running back Jordan Mason, hits IR. One player still in doubt for Sunday’s game is Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray, who is still in concussion protocol. Share your thoughts in Windy City Gridiron in the comment section below […]
