NFL WEEK 18: CHICAGO BEARS VS. DETROIT LIONS — The regular-season finale is finally here. Chicago’s football team is playing to nail down the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Meanwhile, these players and coaches have something to play for in Week 18:
Caleb Williams, quarterback — QB1 can become the team’s single-season passing yardage leader (Erik Kramer, 3,838 yards in 1995) and the franchise’s first 4,000-yard passer with a 270-yard performance through the air.

The Chicago Bears (11-5) are back home at Soldier Field to take on the Detroit Lions (8-8), and each team has just announced their inactive players list for the game. CHICAGO BEARS INACTIVES QB – Case Keenum (3rd QB) DE – Joe Tryon-Shoyinka WR – Rome Odunze CB – Nick McCloud OL – Ozzy Trapillo […]
The Detroit Lions (8-8) and Chicago Bears (11-5) have declared their inactives ahead of their Week 18 matchup. While the Lions took care of the majority of their inactives when they ruled out their injured players on Friday, there were a few more moves that needed to be made. If you missed any of the team’s […]
The Blackhawks played in Washington on Saturday evening and flew home to face the Vegas Golden Knights. Chicago has been terrible in the second half of back-to-backs this year. They’ll need to change the scripts against a good Vegas team.
But… Vegas comes into this one banged up on the back end and with questions about their goaltending. The Golden Knights have lost three straight and are 3-5-2 in their last 10 games. The Blackhawks will have a good shot tonight.

The San Francisco 49ers will find out who their Wild Card opponent will be next week before Sunday night football kicks off. One of their potential matchups, the Philadelphia Eagles, will rest several starters on Sunday. Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and the entire starting offensive line are not listed among the […]
The Green Bay Packers may be locked into the #7 seed in the NFC playoffs, but their opponents are still to be determined. Green Bay could end up with a trip to play either the Chicago Bears or the Philadelphia Eagles, depending on the results of the games featuring those two teams. The paths are […]
Happy game day, Bears fans! We made it to the first Sunday of the 2026 calendar year. Chicago’s football team does not kick off until 3:25 p.m. CT, which gives me some time to do some stuff around the house before the regular-season finale. Hopefully, you will take advantage of the time to get everything done so you can enjoy the game in peace.

One of these days, we’ll finally get through a week without losing games or players to injuries. Today is not one of those weeks for the Chicago Bulls. After another disappointing result against the Charlotte Hornets, Chicago is back under .500, and with the roster getting thinner by the day, they’re probably going to stay there for a while.
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.

This Cubs offseason has stunk — no doubt about it — but the Bears are sustaining me. It’s been half a decade since our football team sniffed the playoffs … and a lot longer since we actually thought they had a shot at doing anything with their opportunity. So as I sit here today, bummed and annoyed by the all too familiar lack of aggression from the Cubs front office, I am perked back up by Caleb Williams chasing franchise history at Soldier Field this afternoon and continuing that momentum in...
Sunday’s 2025 Detroit Lions season finale is likely to be one of the least-watched games in the local Detroit market in several years. In the midst of a three-game skid, the Lions are not just tough to watch right now, they’re also essentially irrelevant—out of the playoff race and with nothing to play for but […]
1960s era Cubs shortstop Don Kessinger is instantly recognizable in this photo. The Facebook page where I found it helpfully identified the other three people in the photo. The Cubs are obviously playing the Phillies. No. 6 is Cookie Rojas, later a Cubs coach. The other Phillies player is Don Money, and the umpire is […]
Fresh off their second win in a row, the Blackhawks are back in action on Sunday night, hosting the Vegas Golden Knights at the United Center.
These two teams met in Vegas one month ago, with the Hawks unable to hold on to a late lead before ultimately losing 4-3 in the shootout . That win was part of a hot stretch for VGK, which won six of seven in late November and early December. But it’s been all downhill since, with the Knights losing seven of their last eight games, including a 4-3 ...
Ahead of every Detroit Lions game in 2025, we will provide readers with an updated depth chart of the team’s roster based on information gathered throughout the week. In Week 18, the Detroit Lions (8-8) will take on the Chicago Bears (11-5) to close out the regular season. To help you prepare for this matchup, we have […]
The 2025 Detroit Lions season isn’t quite what anybody expected. After suffering a monstrous amount of injuries in 2024 and still winning the NFC North and finishing as the top seed in the conference, expectations were high in 2025. Multiple players would return from those injuries, as well as new additions via the draft and […]
The Blackhawks had a good nice in our nation’s capital last night, beating the Washington Capitals 3-2 in a (lengthy) shootout . With the win, the Hawks are now 3-1-1 in their last five games (three of which required a skills competition). And the Blackhawks remain undefeated in 2026.
But the Vegas Golden Knights were in Chicago for a Saturday practice and comfortable dinner. We know the Blackhawks have been bad in the second half of back-to-backs this season. Let’s see if they can put so...
The bookmakers really like the Vegas Golden Knights to beat the Chicago Blackhawks in their clash on Sunday, Jan. 4, with the visiting Golden Knights given moneyline odds of -267, and the Blackhawks at +216.

Well, it looks like Alex Bregman or bust now. It’s easy to be discouraged by the lack of progress on the team-building front. These are not good times. I remember when the ballboy (actually clubhouse attendant Francisco “Chico” Herrera) played left field for the Dodgers. The Cubs might want to field Fabian De Hoyos. He’s […]
Under Dan Campbell, the Detroit Lions have made a habit of playing meaningful games in Week 18. This time, however, the stakes are far less inspiring. Detroit enters the season finale with only marginal incentives remaining: the possibility of a more favorable fourth-place schedule in 2026, slight draft positioning improvements, and additional snaps for a […]
Closing time. The Detroit Lions’ 2025 season comes to a close on Sunday afternoon, as they end their tough season on Soldier Field with a bout against the NFC North champion Chicago Bears. It’s a rough way to end the season, but any Lions football is better than no Lions football. So if you’re looking […]

Chicago couldn’t hang on to a third-period lead but picked up a second point via the shootout, defeating the Capitals 3-2 in Washington on Saturday night.
Chicago took an early 1-0 lead just 73 seconds into the game when Ryan Donato was left all alone in front of the Washington net to tip home a point shot from Ilya Mikheyev:

Well, after the thrilling game against the Niners that, unfortunately, ended in disappointment, the 1st overall seed and bye in the first round of the NFL playoffs is off the table for the Beloved. However, there is still something to play for, as a win against the Detroit Lions (or an […]
