It was only a matter of time before the Detroit Lions were named as a team that could be interested in hiring an assistant coach off of Ben Johnson’s staff. And we already have one name as a possible target for the offensive coordinator vacancy in Detroit — Bears Offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle.
Yahoo’s Jori Epstein connects the dots (and shares a story worth reading about what Ben Johnson sees in Chicago’s young OC):
A name that makes sense for Lions OC: Bears OC Declan Doyle. Co...

Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson didn’t drop any bulletin board material in his Tuesday press conference. However, Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson has turned the page and moved his focus onto Packers Week 3.0. And with that, comes some encouraging words regarding where quarterback Caleb Williams stands going into his first-ever playoff start.
When Johnson spoke to the media on Tuesday, three quotes about his quarterback stood out to me:
“He’s a completely different quarterback tha...

Happy hump day! Let’s talk about the Bears and som other things happening around the NFL.

This is the attitude the...

Connor Bedard being on the ice with the Blackhawks for a good part of Tuesday’s practice and his comments about being close to returning to game action got a lot of the attention yesterday (and rightfully so), but it was also good to see Frank Nazar back on the ice for the first time since his injury. Nazar was wearing a full face shield, as expected.

January 7 feels like an appropriate time to take down the Christmas lights, right? That’s plenty of spillover time …
