Can Sean McVay overcome Soldier Field demons?

Back in 2018, one of the more important football games of the modern era took place when the Los Angeles Rams took on the Chicago Bears. On that Sunday night, it was Sean McVay’s offense going up against Vic Fangio’s defense. The Rams had scored 30 or more points in 10 of their previous 12 […]

A New NVP Emerges, Kyler Gordon is Back, Montez Sweat’s Next Challenge, and Other Bears Bullets

The first three days of this week have flown by. I wonder how the days between now and when the Bears kick off on Sunday will go. Cornerback Kyler Gordon wasn’t on the first Bears injury report of the week, which brough a smile and sense of relief. When healthy, Gordon is an impact defender who can cover in man and zone, help in run support, and occasionally blitz the quarterback. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see much of Gordon this year because of a variety of injuries. And when he ...

L.A Rams News: Do you know their record against Caleb Williams?

Just curious, do you know what the Los Angeles Rams win/loss record is against Caleb Williams? It’s 0-1. That’s right, Williams beat the Rams last year in his rookie season, and he’s 1-0 vs. the Rams, Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay. So, I ask, how do the Rams beat the Bears this weekend? If Williams […]

Ben Johnson is Ready to Get the Run Game Going (Again)

The running game is at the heart of what Ben Johnson’s offensive scheme is all about. Unfortunately, it has struggled to gain traction of late. In the Bears’ playoff win against the Packers, Chicago’s offense mustered just 93 yards on the ground against Green Bay’s defense. The week prior, the rushing attack collected only 65 yards — which represented the fewerst ground yards gained by the offense this season. Don’t get me wrong. I love that quarterback Caleb Williams was able to air...

Chicago Bears Injury Report: C.J. Gardner-Johnson is Back in Action

The first installment of the Chicago Bears injury report ahead of the team’s NFC Divisional Round playoff matchup against the Los Angeles Rams is out. And the release comes with some good news, specifically regarding the status of the team’s key defensive backs. C.J. Gardner-Johnson was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

Packers Discussion: Rank The Packers Playoff Heartbreakers

It’s been a few days now since the Green Bay Packers lost in devastating fashion to the Chicago Bears in the first round of the playoffs, ending a very up-and-down season with a five-game losing streak.

Lil’ Wayne Issued an Apology to Caleb Williams

Grammy-award winning rapper Lil’ Wayne has issued a public apology to Bears quarterback Caleb Williams after his comments after Saturday’s epic come-from-behind win against the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs.

This is a thing that happened today: Ay Caleb don’t mind me bruh I’m just a cheesehead 4life & u just a killa & ya kilt us bad each time & 4 dat u get da praise gesture from me! 🙌🏾 I luh da game & it’d b impossible 2make dat statement...

ESPN lists Bears among top 10 rookie classes of 2025

Take a bow, Ryan Poles. You earned this one. In addition to revamping the interior offensive line in free agency to incredible effect, the Chicago Bears general manager also scored one of the most impactful rookie classes of 2025. And it’s not just us saying that, either. With the seventh overall pick in its rookie […]

From Lost to Locked In: The Defensive Flip That Changed Bears-Packers

The Chicago Bears didn’t win Saturday night’s Wild Card game against the Green Bay Packers because their defense dominated from start to finish. They won because it finally caught up to the moment. That distinction matters because the first half at Soldier Field looked like the exact scenario Ben Johnson feared heading into the postseason — and the reason he coached the game the way he did. Johnson’s refusal to punt wasn’t bravado or stubbornness. It was an acknowledgement of reality...

The Alex Bregman signing by the numbers

It was about as big a weekend in Chicago sports as any of us have experienced since 2016. With all due respect to four playoff teams the Cubs have had since 2016 and the 2020-21 White Sox, they didn’t quite ignite the same frenzy in Chicagoland we saw on Saturday. First the Bears came back […]

Is Matthew Stafford really that bad in the cold?

One of the primary talking points when it comes to the Los Angeles Rams playing the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field is the weather. The Rams play in California while the Bears have played their last three home games in the cold. Matthew Stafford is 1-9 in cold, rainy, or snowy conditions since […]

Rams fondly remember last playoff game against Bears DC

With as good as the Rams offense and as bad as Bears defense has been this season, Sunday’s divisional round game could come down to the matchup between Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay against Chicago defensive coordinator Dennis Allen.

The Los Angeles Rams are set to play the Chicago Bears on Sunday in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs. While it should be a good matchup between two similarly skilled teams, it will also give the Rams an opportunity to right the wrongs of two of their losses this season. While the Rams […]

A Record-Setting Number of Fans Watched the Bears Beat the Packers in the Playoffs

To write that a whole lotta fans saw the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers in last Saturday’s Wild Card playoff game would be an understatement of grand proportion. So, instead, I’ll frame it like this: A record-setting number of fans tuned in to watch Chicago’s football team vanquish their rivals from Green Bay. And that isn’t hyperbole, folks. Saturdays’ Bears-Packers playoff game on Amazon’s Prime Video service became the NFL’s most-streamed game — ever. So many people watched t...
