The Chicago Bears haven’t seen Soldier Field that electric since the 2019 season opener against the Green Bay Packers. And ironically, much like the 2019 game (also against the Packers), the Bears were unable to score touchdowns through three quarters (and most of the fourth). But unlike that game six years ago, there was a […]

On a day where I cannot stop watching that game-winning Caleb Williams overtime touchdown throw to DJ Moore , I found my eyes bugging out of my head when I saw that Montez Sweat had the best initial grade from Pro Football Focus after the Chicago Bears’ 22-16 victory against the Green Bay Packers. And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. PFF player grades aren’t the be-all, end-all. But they do serve a purpose in helping contextualize what we just saw. In this case, th...

The most important, cathartic, emotional, rivalry-rewriting throw most of us have ever seen. The Bears didn’t just beat the Packers 22-16 in overtime. They exorcise...
