Well, that was a fun one!
It wasn’t pretty all day on Sunday for the Bears, but again, they were opportunistic on defense, efficient on offense, and when it got close late, they never blinked.
Despite being shorthanded for what seems like the entirety of the season defensively, that unit never backs down. Whenever the offense makes a mistake, they almost always seem to bounce back and not let those mistakes add up.
Coaching matters a whole lot in the NFL, and the Bears have been...

The Steelers saved us from buying in and made sure their annual collapse came about a month early. They’ve gone from 4-1 with a massive lead over the 1-5 Baltimore Ravens to 6-5 and out of the playoff picture. The loss to the Chicago Bears highlighted a lot of the same issues that have plagued […]

On a day when Chicago Bears rookies were seen early and often, no one impressed me more than Ozzy Trapilo.
A second-round pick from the Bears’ 2025 NFL Draft class, Trapilo was thrust into the starting lineup at left tackle because Theo Benedet suffered an injury during the practice week that caused him to be unavailable for the team’s Week 12 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Benedet out and Braxton Jones still on injured reserve, it left Trapilo as the top option to start as the...

The most impressive thing about the Chicago Bears is that, even though they’re tied for the second-best record in the NFC at (8-3), they can be even better. There’s so much more room for the offense to grow, and the defense should be getting healthier for the playoff push. This has been an opportunistic team […]

Through ten games, the Chicago Bears have been remarkable at finding ways to win. To this point, it has been against less talented competition. That changed as they entered Week 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, with 6 of their final 7 games against teams with winning records. The Bears were without starting defensive players Jaylon […]

It wasn’t the prettiest win, at least early, but the Bears played well down the stretch and finished strong. I’m still not sure how good this team is or how things will go when the schedule picks up starting on Black Friday, but it’s pretty apparent that they have a belief and swagger they haven’t had in quite some time.

Nahshon Wright continues to make plays for the Chicago Bears defense.
His interception of a Mason Rudolph pass on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first interception led to the first points of the game. This was a beautiful INT and a wonderful touchdown connection between Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver DJ Moore:
