The Chicago Bears injury report will be worth keeping tabs on this week. Not only are we on high alert since it is Packers Week, it is worth highlighting that there are a handful of Bears injury updates that we will monitor obsessively because they are potential game-changers. For good measure, that we’re adding to the mix that it is a short week with these two teams playing on Saturday complicates matters a bit.

1) I don’t care how tired people were of the Kansas City Chiefs’ dynasty or the Green Bay Packers being a thorn in the Chicago Bears’ side. No one wants to see Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons, two of the best players in the game, tear their ACLs on the same day. It’s terrible for […]
Let’s run through another 2026 NFL Mock Draft. With Fernando Mendoza taking home the Heisman Trophy, is he a lock to be the first quarterback off the board in this spring’s NFL Draft ? That’s unlikely with the College Football Playoff still to be played out. Plus, the Kansas City Chiefs will be in a position to take a playmaker, and the Bears will look to add more defensive line help. 2026 NFL Mock Draft 1. New York Jets (via NYG): QB Fernando Mendoza – Indiana If the Giant...

The Chicago Bears took care of business Sunday, by the way of smoking the Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field. It was the comfortable, dominant win fans have been hoping for all season. For it to come in a spot many had labeled a trap, and right in between the two meetings against the Green Bay […]
Before diving into Bears (and Bears-adjacent) stuff, I wanted to share the news that our friends at BN Bulls have new writers. And our site has some new bells and whistles. Catch up with the news and show our new friends some love . Also: Play nice. Writing about the Bulls is no easy task.

Myles Garrett is already an all-time NFL great. He is a master sack artist who has the distinction of being the player that Cleveland Browns fans can rally around on game day. Even when there isn’t much going right for the Browns, at least they’ve got Myles Garrett giving opposing quarterbacks fits. And while Garrett inched closer to the all-time single-season sack record in Week 15, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams wasn’t going to allow the Cleveland star to get it on him. This p...
The Cleveland Browns made so many roster moves last week that it was hard to keep them all straight. With a number of injuries on top of the changes on the roster, the Chicago Bears made easy work of the Browns on Sunday. The list of moves last week was long: On Tuesday: On Wednesday: […]
The Chicago Bears put last week’s loss in Green Bay behind them, focused on the job at hand, and beat the Cleveland Browns 31 to 3. Previous Bear teams may have fallen into the trap of looking ahead to the rematch with the Packers, but that’s not the culture head coach Ben Johnson has built […]
Despite concerns of a possible let down and trap game, the Chicago Bears had no problem vanquishing the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at frozen Soldier Field. The Bears’ margin of 31-3 felt even wider as the Bears defense completely stifled Shadeur Sanders and the Browns’ offense, forcing three turnovers in the process. The Bears’ offense […]
The Chicago Bears have had up-and-down luck with injury this season, but even with Kyler Gordon returning to IR, there’s some good news. The team announced on Monday that they were opening the 21-day window for two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Tremaine Edmunds to return to the team. Edmunds has four interceptions on the season in […]
D’Marco Jackson going from being an unheralded waiver claim in August to the Bears’ highest-graded player in a December win against the Browns is the type of story arc that can only happen in a magical season like the one Chicago’s football team is having right now. Jackson, who was claimed by the Bears off the waiver wire on Aug. 27, earned a 93.1 grade from the initial release of Pro Football Focus’ Week 15 grades. Not only was that the best among Bears defensive players, it was the hig...

I hope Packers fans enjoyed their week in first place, because it’s over after the Bears beat the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and the Packers lost to the Denver Broncos at Mile High, putting Chicago back on top in the NFC North with three games to play this season.

Facing a three-win Cleveland Browns team might not score many “style points,” but in the end, the Chicago Bears’ 31-3 blowout victory was more than enough to get them to 10 wins and keep them right in the mix for the NFC North crown. Although I’m not sure I would consider this a “complete” performance […]
A 10-win season is nice, but the Chicago Bears have bigger fish to fry. With just three games left, the Bears are on the cusp of making the playoffs for the first time since 2020. What needs to happen for them to clinch a playoff spot as soon as this week? Well, it is actually quite simple: The Bears can clinch their spot in the postseason in Week 16 if they beat the Packers and the Lions lose to the Steelers. — Courtney Cronin (@CourtneyRCronin) December 15, 2025 Bears co...
Zach Tom, Christian Watson, and Evan Williams are three of the Green Bay Packers’ most important players. All three of them left Sunday’s loss to the Denver Broncos with injuries, and none returned to the game. Then, late in the third quarter, Micah Parsons crumpled to the turf with an apparent ACL tear in his […]
The night-and-day difference in waking up on a Bears Victory Monday and a Monday that isn’t followed by a Bears win is jarring. I care not that the thorough victory came at the expense of the Browns. The Packers didn’t beat the Browns this year, so I don’t want to hear a peep from any cheesedoodles about “oh, it was just the Browns.” Cram it, nerds. I have no time for your nonsense. The Bears beat a bad Browns team in a way that good teams are supposed to beat bad ones. I spent the week...
The Chicago Bears knocked off the Cleveland Browns in a must-have game to maintain their spot in the NFC playoff picture, and they did it in dominating fashion, 31 to 3. The Bears never trailed, and while it was closer in the first half for some fans, this one was never really in doubt. The […]
The Cleveland Browns had a tough showing against the Chicago Bears with a 31-3 loss, bringing the Browns to 3-11 on the season. Some of the same issues that Cleveland has been dealing with all season showed up in this loss, but there were a few key areas that contributed greatly to their defeat. Turnovers […]
