‘Chicago found themselves one hell of a head coach’
The Chicago Bears need just one more win in their last six games to ensure their first winning record since 2018.

Bears beat Steelers in relatively normal game, improve to 8-3!
Through ten games, the Chicago Bears have been remarkable at finding ways to win. To this point, it has been against less talented competition. That changed as they entered Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, with 6 of their final 7 games against teams with winning records. The Bears were without starting defensive players Jaylon […]
Chicago Bears vs. Pittsburgh Steelers Open Thread
The Chicago Bears, currently the three seed in the NFC, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, the fourth-seeded AFC team, meet up in a battle of division leaders today, but this one won’t feel like an interconference game to the Soldier Field faithful.

WCG Predicts: Chicago Bears vs Pittsburgh Steelers
Chicago Bears fans have had this one circled on the schedule for some time, as Chicago would host Aaron Rodgers in an opposing team’s uniform, perhaps for the last time in his career.

Most NFL fans believe the Bears are pretenders
If you signed up to participate in the weekly emailed SB Nation Reacts surveys, you would have had the chance to answer their question about whether the Chicago Bears are good or not. That was one of several questions sent to fans of all 32 NFL teams, and, as expected, most don’t buy the Bears as a […]
Bleacher Report puts Indiana LT Carter Smith on the Bears’ draft radar
Everyone knows the Chicago Bears need help in the pass-rush department next season, as no one has truly emerged as a threat opposite Montez Sweat. But Chicago has yet another pressing need in the trenches if they want to take off offensively: left tackle. Braxton Jones almost assuredly won’t be here next year, and undrafted […]

Pittsburgh Steelers at Chicago Bears: 3 Props to Play
This week’s prop article is delayed thanks to Aaron Rodgers. It’s bad enough that he’s tortured me as a Chicago Bears fan for the last 15 years; now, he’s postponing my articles because I was hoping to have some level of information to make the best-informed suggestions for prop plays. And as it turns out, […]

Terra Incognita – The Chicago Bears and Late Draft Position
If the season ended right now, the Bears would make the playoffs for the first time since 2018. However, something else interesting would happen for the first time in even longer. The Bears would draft in the second half of the first round. The last time that happened, 2013, Phil Emery picked Kyle Long at […]

The bad man returns. Aaron Rodgers gets one more shot at the Chicago Bears since leaving the Green Bay Packers.

Declan Doyle breaks down how Caleb Williams improved his processing
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, […]
