Caleb managed […]

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 […]

The NFL season is quickly moving through November, Thanksgiving is on the horizon, and yet it still feels like each week a different team ends up on the top of everyone’s power rankings. The Chicago Bears keep on winning, improbably, but are moving in the right direction as they now sit atop their division. The […]

It feels so foreign to have the Chicago Bears be good. Or at least winning. They were losing so often, for so long, I forgot what this is like. Each week, it feels like another poor record from recent years is getting broken. For example, Ben Johnson has more road wins as the Bears’ head […]

1. That’s five times, now. Five times, the Chicago Bears have come back to steal a win from an opponent in the final minute this year. Is it Ben Johnson’s manic energy? Is it Caleb Williams becoming The Guy? Is it pure luck? All of the above? I don’t care. Because right now, the Bears […]

Picture this: it’s September 15th, the Bears have just been rocked by the Detroit Lions by 31 points, fall to 0-2, and are 1-12 in their last 13 regular season games. Bleak. Things are looking very bleak. Fast forward, and it is November 18th, and things could not feel more different. Winners of 7 of […]

Last week, I kindly asked the Chicago Bears to win a game in blowout fashion so that my blood pressure could have an easy-going Sunday. Unfortunately, the team didn’t listen. Another rollercoaster of a game on Sunday resulted in a Chicago Bears last minute victory yet again, this time at U.S. Bank Stadium against the […]

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson says you never apologize for wins in the National Football League. The Bears are (7-3), and considering how bad this franchise has been, that’s an awesome place to be. “Proud of the guys, seven and three, that’s nothing to scoff at,” Johnson said in his postgame press conference. “As […]
