The Los Angeles Rams are set to play the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field in a game to be played in freezing temperatures. They’ll be facing a defense that leads the NFL in interceptions, and a quarterback who’s seen a drop in form (not to be read as played badly). Back in 2018 […]

The third, and final, Chicago Bears injury report ahead of the team’s NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams is out. And it is mostly good news for Chicago’s football team. This is as good as an injury report gets this time of year, so I’ll take it without thinking twice about it.
As far as I’m concerned, wide receiver Rome Odunze getting upgraded to full participation on Friday’s Bears injury report is the best news that could have come from the injury report. Odunze w...

The 2006 NFC Championship aside, this may have been the most important, and meaningful win in all my years as a Bears fan. I won’t sugarcoat it, about midway through the 3rd quarter even I was muttering “same old Bears”, me, one of the most glass half full fans in the world. But even then, […]

The Ian Cunningham situation has been put on the back-burner around here for obvious reasons.
So, let’s play catch-up while we have a moment:
Cunningham, the Bears’ assistant general manager, interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons for the team’s president of football position last Friday.
Shortly after Cunningham’s interview, the Falcons hired retired quarterback (and franchise legend) Matt Ryan as the president of football. Based on the verbiage used by Falcons owner Arthur...

Temperature estimates for Sunday’s divisional playoff game between the Rams and Bears in Chicago are sitting around 20 degrees, leading to a snowball effect of opinions that the home team has an advantage. So why does history not support that theory whatsoever? Over the last 20 years, divisional round playoff games at 20 degrees or […]

Dante Moore’s decision to return to Oregon reshaped the top of the 2026 NFL Draft almost overnight.
What once looked like a two-quarterback race at the very top has narrowed, clarifying team needs, positional runs, and value pockets throughout the first round of this NFL Mock Draft.
With Moore out of the picture, Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza stands alone atop the quarterback board, while several QB-needy teams pivot toward premium defenders, offensive line help, or playmakers who can s...

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 ...
