Thanks to Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson, we can finally put to rest the “DJ Moore was open!” angle when discussing the final offensive play of the Chicago Bears’ Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers
Let’s allow the Bears coach to take us through it ( via The Athletic ):
“I didn’t see him as being the answer in that time. I think he came open more after the ball was released from Caleb. Nixon was man-to-man with DJ and was trailing him and ended up falling off and making a play on C...

Another loss to the Green Bay Packers for the Chicago Bears, but it didn’t feel like a typical loss. Chicago lost by a touchdown on the second-to-last play of the game. Somehow though, it wasn’t a gut-wrenching, nut punch of a loss like so many that came before. Is it because the Bears get a […]

I’m running out of superlatives for Christian Watson. A little more than two weeks ago, I wrote about Watson’s resurgence after his torn ACL. Since then, he’s gone ahead and gotten even better, hauling in eight catches for 169 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games. Week over week he continues to improve […]

Back in Week 11, I wrote about Christian Watson’s two-touchdown game against the New York Giants. The Green Bay Packers wide receiver followed that up with a 5-catch, 49-yard game against the Vikings and a 4-catch, 80-yard, 1-TD game against the Lions on Thanksgiving. With Watson fully integrated into the offense after returning from his […]

A split with the Green Bay Packers always seemed likely heading into the 2025 season, so the good news for the Chicago Bears is that it’s still a plausible outcome despite the team’s loss on Sunday in Green Bay. Heck, the Bears might still have a chance to emerge 2-1 against Green Bay this year. […]

Following the loss of defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, who had previously started for the Green Bay Packers in the under tackle position, the Packers signed two defensive tackles last week: Jordon Riley and Quinton Bohanna. Both Riley, poached from the New York Giants’ practice squad, and Bohanna, claimed on waivers via the Seattle Seahawks, are […]

To make room for the addition of receiver Jayden Reed from the injured reserve, the Green Bay Packers waived receiver Malik Heath, who had been with the team for three years, last week. The Packers likely wanted Heath to return to the team on the practice squad, considering his experience with the squad, but that […]

Don’t get me wrong, I’d have liked to beat the Green Bay Packers. Would have loved nothing more than to depart Lambeau last night chanting “Green Bay sucks” with my buddies. But the Bears came up just a play or two short. However, and I don’t really care if this sounds like loser talk, the feeling I had leaving the stadium yesterday and the one I have today is one of optimism.
The Bears lost. But for the second straight game, they went on the road against a legitimate Super Bowl contender...

The San Francisco 49ers had a bye week this week, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t action in the NFC playoff standings. The 49ers moved up one spot to No. 6 after the Chicago Bears dropped from No. 1 to No. 7 due to their loss to the Green Bay Packers. They’re still third in […]

The NFL is the ultimate week-to-week league. Things change in an instant. For the San Francisco 49ers, the bye week was kind as the team moved into the sixth seed with the Bears’ loss to the Packers.

The audible groan I let out when Caleb Williams’ final pass landed in the hands of Keisean Nixon (and not Bears tight end Cole Kmet) could have been heard from here to Green Bay. The Chicago Bears quarterback had played so well in the second half. Williams was playing with conviction, making quick reads and good decisions. He also displayed some stellar arm strength. And for a moment late in the fourth quarter, it looked like QB1 was going to author a new chapter in the historic Bears-Packers ...

The Green Bay Packers are fortunate that, despite a great rushing performance from his team throughout the entire second half, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson decided instead to put Sunday’s game in Caleb Williams’ hands on the critical fourth-and-one.

Very little of Keisean Nixon’s time in Green Bay has gone according to plan. When Nixon was signed in 2022, he wasn’t supposed to be the Packers’ top cornerback. He wasn’t supposed to be a regular contributor as a slot defender. He wasn’t even supposed to be a kick returner. He was supposed to be […]

When the Chicago Bears lose to the Green Bay Packers, it always stings a little more, but yesterday’s 28-21 loss felt different.

Yes, the Green Bay Packers are 9-3-1, and yes, they just took the lead in the NFC North division with a big home win over the Chicago Bears. Yes, they currently hold the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Even with those caveats, it was still a bit surprising to see the Packers installed as […]

So, the San Francisco 49ers had a bye. Regardless of what happened, their playoff positioning would improve. How better? Well, just one spot thanks to the Chicago Bears/Green Bay Packers game.
