Cole Kmet is a Chicagoland guy who knows the local sports scene all too well. And heading into Saturday’s Bears-Packers playoff game, it sounds like Kmet is ready to rewrite Chicago Sports history. Or, at a minimum, write a new chapter with the blank page that this season has provided. This is quite the quote pull via 670 The Score’s Chris Emma : “I feel like that with Chicago sports in general. Always felt like that with the Cubs, here obviously in Chicago with the Bears, it’s kin...

Caleb Williams has done a bunch of cool things this season. He led the Bears to 11 wins, quarterbacked the team to its first playoff appearance since 2020, and led the way so the squad could capture its first NFC North title since 2018. Williams also set the franchise’s single-season passing yardage record in Week 18. It has been a banner year for the second-year quarterback. But for all the boxes Caleb Williams checked in terms of accomplishments this season, this is one I was not expect...

Finishing a season as fun as the Chicago Bears’ season has been with two straight losses is a bummer. Luckily, it doesn’t feel quite as bad as when they started the season 0-2. It is discouraging but there are still games to look forward to with much higher stakes. The playoffs will be incredibly stressful, […]

How are you preparing for a third Bears-Packers showdown in the span of 34 days? Because Chicago and Green Bay are playing on a short week, the first injury report of the week will drop at some point on Tuesday. Subsequent injury report updates will follow on Wednesday and Thursday. Save for cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson starting the week in concussion protocol, I feel as if the Bears exited their Week 18 loss against the Detroit Lions relatively unscathed. But we’ll see what the inju...

Tyrique Stevenson was notably absent in Sunday’s Chicago Bears loss to the Detroit Lions. Stevenson was active for the Week 18 regular-season finale, but didn’t log a single defensive snap. Meanwhile, Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions was a rough watch. Particularly for the defense, but especially in the defensive secondary. Detroit consistently found space in coverage, piling up production against a Bears cornerback rotation that leaned heavily on Jaylon Johnson, Nahshon Wright, and C.J...

The Chicago Bears were hoping to end the 2025 regular season with some momentum, but following their loss to the Detroit Lions, they seemingly ended the season with more concerns than reasons to feel optimistic about the playoffs. The game was certainly a much closer affair than the 31 point loss the Bears suffered to […]

The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears have the most storied rivalry in the sport, even if it has been extremely lopsided since 2009, when the Packers began a run of 29 wins over the Bears in 35 games. It’s the most-played game in NFL history, with Green Bay being up 109-97-6 all-time in the […]
