Note: We have a special edition this week! Since Week 18 is a fairly new thing in the NFL schedule, I’ve expanded our dive back into history to include games that took place around the same date as our Week 18 game will take place this year, as well as including some Week 17 games. […]

The only thing that practically matters for the Detroit Lions is draft order and their 2026 schedule. And while the best way to improve those things is a Lions loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, I wouldn’t blame you if you’re incapable of rooting for that. If that’s too much for your taste, I’ve […]

These two franchises have been playing each other since 1930; only back then, it was the Chicago Bears vs the Portsmouth Spartans. The Bears lost that first matchup, and they’ve lost the last three against the Detroit Lions, but Chicago holds a (105-81-5) all-time record in the series. For Week 18, there’s not quite as […]

Finishing off the regular season with the division rival Detroit Lions is a testament to how much an NFL season changes from the beginning to end. It’s a demonstration of how teams evolve, get better, or alternatively, get worse, get injured or suffer from bad luck. Think back to when these two teams met in […]

For all the key additions the Chicago Bears have made last offseason, from Nahshon Wright down to rookies like Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III, Jone Thuney might well be the most important player the franchise added to its ranks this year. After years of question marks along the offensive line, new stalwarts Thuney, Drew […]

While the Detroit Lions’ season ended on Christmas last week, there was one silver lining: my bold prediction was correct. That makes it two times my bold prediction has come true this season, not the record I wanted to have. In the 2025 season finale, the Lions travel and take on the Chicago Bears in […]

For the first time in four years, I’m previewing a Detroit Lions game that I know is “meaningless.” It’s been a good run for On Paper and the Lions, but it’s hard to put a ton of effort into this Week 18 preview against the Chicago Bears when the stakes are nearly zero, and the […]

The first-place Chicago Bears are coming off a heartbreaker in San Francisco, but they are also coming off a weekend that saw them clinch the NFC North. This Sunday, they have a chance to secure the two seed, and the following weekend, they’ll play in the first playoff game at Soldier Field since 2018. It’s a glorious […]

What is happening? Did I wake up in an alternate universe? What on Earth are people talking about? How is there a debate happening on social media and across various Chicago-based media platforms debating if the Chicago Bears should rest their players in week 18 and punt on the 2-seed? This is the craziest debate […]

Jaquan Brisker kept it a buck when discussing the Chicago Bears’ Week 17 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Jaquan Brisker: "We let the offense down. I'm going to say it. We let the offense down, period. I feel like Caleb and them, they gave us enough points to do what we had to do to win. The defense didn't." — Courtney Cronin (@CourtneyRCronin) December 29, 2025 Sure, that loss stung. But in a year where we have seen the head coach and quarterback remind us what accountability ...

Few games ever live up to the hype, but Sunday night’s meeting of the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers definitely did. It didn’t finish the way Chicago wanted, but it was a thrilling game and showed a national audience that Caleb Williams has arrived. And for the most jaded or skeptical Bears fans, it […]

We already know that the Chicago Bears will be making their first postseason appearance since 2020. And when they take the field in the playoffs, they will do so as NFC North champions for the first time since 2018. That means the Bears will play a home game as they set out on their Super Bowl journey. However, we do not know who will be on the other sideline in that matchup. But we do have a pretty good idea of who it could be. Potential Chicago Bears Playoff Opponents LOS ANGE...

The Bears have already clinched the NFC North, and they’ve secured home-field advantage in at least the first round of the upcoming playoffs. That said, it was still unfortunate that their dreams of securing the No. 1 seed in the NFC came to an end with their 42-38 loss to the 49ers. You could probably […]

There’s a slight part of me that doesn’t want the Atlanta Falcons to beat the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. It would mean that the Seattle Seahawks were literally a few yards away from clinching the NFC West title through the Rams and San Francisco 49ers losing, but the Chicago Bears couldn’t seal […]

Caleb Williams (24) […]
