Leave it to Ben Johnson to say the right thing at the right time.
The first-year Chicago Bears head coach has quite the task in front of him. On the one hand, he needs to rally the troops after a gut-wrenching loss against the Green Bay Packers in a rivalry game that took an emotional and physical toll on a team trying to establish itself as a contender this season. Learning from that loss won’t be easy, but it is necessary in order to move on to what is on the horizon. And on the other h...

The Packers announced themselves as Super Bowl contenders in late August with their trade for Micah Parsons. Now, nearly four months later, everything is more or less going according to plan. Parsons is having a great year, and so are the Packers. At 9-3-1, they’re atop the NFC North and firmly in contention to be […]

The Chicago Bears only allowed one sack against the Green Bay Packers, and Green Bay’s 186 million dollar man didn’t get it. But don’t think that Micah Parsons didn’t have his fingerprints all over the game. The 26-year-old Parsons is going to be a problem the Bears have to deal with for a while, but […]

The referee for the Green Bay Packers’ matchup against the Denver Broncos will be Brad Rogers, who holds an interesting designation going into this week. No referee in the NFL throws more flags on the away team, which in this case would be the Packers, relative to the home team than Rogers’ crew. Right now, […]

The Chicago Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers… again. The feelings coming off the loss on Sunday were tough, no doubt about it. When Caleb Williams’ pass floated into the hands of Keisean Nixon and ended the Bears’ final drive, there’s no other way to slice it, it was deflating. The Bears kept finding […]

This week’s Green Bay Packers depth chart update is going to be a little longer than usual, because we’ll be covering what happened in both Week 13 and Week 14. Because of that, I split this up into offense and defense (for this week only), so keep an eye out for the companion piece out […]

Caleb Williams’ performance against the Packers ended on an interception, a play Williams admitted on Sunday evening he needed to deliver a better ball on to tight end Cole Kmet.
Personally, I think he needed to be a tick earlier on the release, and the ball itself would have been fine, but we’re splitting hairs at this point. The fact that we can even have a conversation about that end zone interception in the closing seconds is because Williams drove the Bears down to that spot on the f...

1. I must admit, I’m a little shocked at how much everyone is praising the Chicago Bears for losing so competitively to the Green Bay Packers. Of course, I agree the Bears played well, especially in the second half. But eventually, we have to get to a point where we expect the Bears to win […]

The Bears’ loss to the Packers shook up the NFC a bit. With Chicago falling to No. 7, Green Bay moves to into the No. 2 spot. Meanwhile, the Rams take over the top spot again. Over in the AFC, the Broncos used the Patriots being on their bye to move ahead of New England. Elsewhere, the Colts’ freefall and Chiefs’ collapse continue.
That, and more, in this week’s NFL playoff picture check-in.

The Bears’ five-game winning streak came to an end on Sunday with their 28-21 loss to the Packers. Though Chicago stills sit at 9-4, they are no longer in first place of the NFC North and find themselves a game away from being on the outside looking in on the playoff race. That goes to […]

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. […]
