Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
The Dallas Cowboys remain alone with horrible NFL playoff history. You see, the New England Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night. This is relevant to the Cowboys, one version of them, because New England was the #2 seed on the AFC side of the playoff picture. The Chicago Bears are the NFC’s […]
The Los Angeles Rams are a 4.5-point favorite against the Cinderella Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Chicago, with Caleb Williams under center, has been the comeback king all season long, pulling out the most frustratingly miraculous wins you’ve ever seen. The Rams won a surprising 34-31 thriller over the Panthers in […]
Former LSU great Alex Bregman is now a very, very rich man. The former Tiger is trading in his Red Sox for Cubbie Blue as Bregman signed a five-year $175 million deal with the Chicago Cubs Saturday night. A three-time All-Star, Bregman opted out of a $40 million player option with Boston to hit free […]
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur still doesn’t want to talk about his contract situation in Green Bay, at least in front of the media. On both Saturday, after the team’s loss to the Chicago Bears, and Sunday, he said some version of “now is not the time to talk about this” when peppered […]
Going into the week of practice in preparation for the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that he expected right tackle Zach Tom, who has been out with knee and back injuries since the Denver Broncos game in which star pass-rusher Micah Parsons was also injured, to play in the postseason. […]
The Dallas Cowboys received some fantastic news Saturday night, as the Chicago Bears made another miraculous comeback to end the Green Bay Packers season. In doing so, the Cowboys are now locked into the 12th and 20th overall pick with the Packers loss. Now knowing when the Cowboys will be picking, we will look at […]
Everyone expected the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers to have a close game in the Wild Card Playoffs on Saturday night. But nobody expected that. The fate of the last four Bears vs. Packers games had come down to the final play of the game, so it seemed like a logical prediction that this […]
I have no problem running it back again with Ben Johnson’s “Good, Better, Best” postgame speech after the Bears beat the Packers. C’mon, now. How many times do you get to enjoy a Victory Sunday like this one? GOOD, BETTER, BEST (EXTENDED CUT) https://t.co/ywQzAHFr1N pic.twitter.com/rOcdAiNOkZ — Bleacher Nation Bears (@BN_Bears) January 11, 2026 Bears coach Ben Johnson hands out game balls after playoff win against Packers The Bears head coach gave out three game balls...
Green Bay Packers fans are going to need some time to recover from an epic collapse against the Chicago Bears in the playoffs, but rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden gave some hope for the future in 2026 and beyond after (finally) having his breakout game. The first-round rookie has patiently been waiting for his moment […]
If the Miami Dolphins are hoping that Matt LaFleur might become available, the loss to the Bears may have opened up that possibility.
Emotions were high, and so were the stakes. Not only for the 2025 playoffs but for the oldest rivalry in the game. While the offense started off stronger than it had for most of the year, what followed was some of the sloppier play we have seen all season. Until crunch time, that is. Here […]
“We don’t start stuff, but we will stop stuff; we will end stuff.” That quote from World Series winning Cubs manager Joe Maddon after a September game against the Cardinals sticks with me 11 years later. And that it resurfaced from my memory banks after a Bears-Packers thriller makes sense. After all, the Packers did a lot of talking in the days leading up to Saturday’s game against at Soldier Field in Chicago. But it was the Bears, with their play on the field, who came away with the fin...
The Chicago Bears’ rookies have featured heavily in their improbable season, helping propel the team to its first playoff win in fifteen years. In order to celebrate their accomplishments, here is a brief summary of the major awards and acknowledgments members of the class have received. Just as a note, though this summary does not […]
The Green Bay Packers lost to the Chicago Bears on Saturday as the NFL’s Wild Card weekend kicked off. With the loss, Chicago advanced to the Divisional round while the Packers head into the offseason. It also opened the door for Packers assistant coaches to be poached by teams looking for a new head coach. […]
BCB reader Joe Coney sent me a number of photos to sleuth and I decided to start with this one, a great look at the board from the 1970s. So what are we looking at here? The Cubs are, obviously, playing the Expos. It’s the top of the seventh inning — in fact, that half-inning […]
The Chicago Bears sent Green Bay packing with their insane come-from-behind win on Wild Card Saturday. So, who’s next on the Bears schedule? Well, your guess is as good as mine. But we do know it will be one of two teams — the Philadelphia Eagles or the Los Angeles Rams. Mandatory Credit: David Banks-Imagn Images After slaying the boogeyman Packers twice in the span of 21 days, the Bears are moving in the postseason. Up next on the playoff slate will be a marquee matchup be...
Michael Jordan over Craig Ehlo. Patrick Kane’s backhander for the hat trick against the Canucks. Caleb Williams’ 4th-and-8 throw to Rome Odunze in the 4th Quarter. By no means am I saying the Bears are on their way to dynasty runs like Michael Jordan’s Bulls or the Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews era Blackhawks. But if we’re fortunate enough to see Caleb Williams lead the Bears to a Super Bowl at one point, we’re going to look back at that throw as the official stamp of arrival. Jordan an...
And just like that, the Green Bay Packers’ 2025 season is over. After a hot start to the year with big wins over the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders, the team found themselves on a downward trajectory after major injuries to their most important playmakers. A 4-game losing streak turned into a 5-game losing streak […]
On Saturday night against the Chicago Bears, the Green Bay Packers saw their season come to an end, collapsing late in a 31-27 loss. Today, however, there are three more games on Wild Card Sunday to decide another batch of teams that will advance to next week’s Divisional Playoffs. The third of three NFC teams […]
Holy cow, what a start to the 2025-26 NFL playoffs. The Rams and Panthers battled to an afternoon thriller filled with multiple fourth-quarter lead changes and go-ahead drives. Then the Bears and Packers closed it out with an epic collapse from Green Bay and yet another improbable recovery from a Bears season that is going […]
Last night, while the Bears were engineering one of the greatest playoff comebacks in league history, the Chicago Cubs were making one of the biggest free agent signings in franchise history, handing Alex Bregman a five-year, $175 million deal, complete with a full no-trade clause and something like $70 million in deferrrals (bringing the present day value of the contract down to around $150M). We got into the signing last night , the deferral details this morning , and the celebratory re...
What a night! On January 10, the Chicago Bulls, the Blackhawks , the Cubs , and the Bears all grabbed a win of their own. The city is riding a wave of euphoria it doesn’t quite know how to handle, but it’s handling it with a lot of smiles and plenty of flexing on social media. I don’t know about you, but the way the Bulls won last night was the real surprise. What a 2-hour span for the Windy City. Have yourself a night, Chicago! 🤩 pic.twitter.com/DLENZKgNmx — SportsCenter (@S...
Thanks in large part to its goaltending, Chicago picked up two more vital points with a 3-0 win on the road over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. After a scoreless first period, the Hawks took the lead for good at the 6:41 mark of the second, when Connor Bedard evaded some Nashville defenders and found Tyler Bertuzzi in his usual spot for a tap-in goal: GOAL: Connor Bedard WHAT A PLAY to set up Bertuzzi for a tap-in goal 😮💨 pic.twitter.com/v83lt7e6rg — BHF (@Blackhaw...
Ken Rosenthal is reporting that Alex Bregman signed a 5-year, $175 million contract with the Cubs. Apparently, $70 million of it is deferred. Bergman will be 32 this coming season. The deferral makes the value somewhat less than $175 million but he won’t be having to buy value meals at McDonald’s any time soon. I’m […]
With John Harbaugh in demand, the Miami Dolphins may be left with another choice. Two options could fall in their laps this weekend.
