The Chicago Bears are sending three players to the Pro Bowl Games in 2026. And while Drew Dalman, Joe Thuney, and Kevin Byard all deserve to go, that they are not being joined by Nahshon Wright legitimately left me flabbergasted. I’m miffed. And judging by the reactions on social media, a whole bunch of Bears fans are with me in feeling that way. But as it turns out, we are not alone in our disappointment.
This is what Green Bay Packers star Micah Parsons had to say about Nahshon Wright’s...
The Bears’ overtime thriller against the Packers in Week 16 was perhaps the most significant regular-season victory in recent memory, and it allowed them to take control of the NFC North with a chance to clinch the division this week. Before we get into how, let’s take a look at the good, better, and best from their Week 16 victory.
Good: Cairo Santos
Cairo Santos has come under fire plenty in recent seasons due to has lack of consistency from long range, and sometimes inside that ra...
The Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night in an overtime thriller, taking control of the NFC North, while the rest of the NFC has come into focus with two weeks to play. Meanwhile, the AFC has unfinished business heading into Week 17.
That, and more, in this week’s NFL playoff picture check-in.

In previous years, poor quarterback play doomed the season in December and January, not giving the Steelers much of a chance in the playoffs. In 2025, Aaron Rodgers is elevating them. The Steelers have won three games in a row and are one win, or a Baltimore loss in Green Bay, away from clinching the […]
Did you know Jordan Love is the same age as Aaron Rodgers, Brett Favre, and Bart Starr when they won their first championships? If you didn’t, you probably haven’t watched a Packers game this year, because that and other parallels to 2010 (and 1996 and 1961) have been flogged to no end. And maybe they’re […]
The Detroit Lions aren’t mathematically eliminated from the NFL playoff race, but they are beyond a long shot at this point. They need the Green Bay Packers to lose both of their remaining games (vs. Ravens, at Vikings) and the Lions need to win their remaining two games (at Vikings, at Bears). Prediction models have […]
As we all know, Green Bay Packers Jordan Love left the game this past weekend with a concussion, and Malik Willis sustained an injury late in the same game. I know those bits of information, and then I saw 44-year-old, just-off-the-couch Philip Rivers go for 277 yards and 2 TDs on Monday Night Football, so […]
The Green Bay Packers will need to do at least a little bit of reshuffling before they get into the postseason. Most importantly, they only have one healthy tight end on the roster right now, Luke Musgrave, while Matt LaFleur’s teams generally like to roster three or four at the position, because of how many […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS The Bear’s Den: December 22, 2025 Patrick Finley: Caleb Williams has officially arrived in the Bears-Packers rivalry The rookie quarterback shook off a slow start to deliver a signature performance, leading three consecutive scoring drives in the final minutes. Williams’ poise in the face of a double-digit deficit suggests the […]
Ben Johnson’s “Good, Better, Best!” post-game rah-rah speech is always a treat. But this week’s installment felt a little bit different. Not just because it came after a thrilling overtime win against the Packers, but also because it came with Johnson handing out a whopping FOUR game balls. And it’s not like there was anyone who didn’t deserve it.
GOOD. BETTER. BEST.

Let’s talk about that moment. You know the one.
Overtime. Green Bay. Twenty-mile-an-hour whipping winds. Game on the line. Caleb Williams releases the ball, and before it even lands—before the result is even official—he sticks his hands right back into his hand warmer and just stands there. Watching.
He knew it.

The Green Bay Packers made a swap on their 53-man roster on Monday. The team placed tight end John FitzPatrick on the injured reserve, following his Achilles tear, and has activated defensive end Collin Oliver from the physically unable to perform list. Oliver missed all of camp with a hamstring injury, but had his 21-day […]
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched the game-winning touchdown from the Bears’ Week 16 win against the Packers. But whenever I give it another spin, I notice something new. And in my most recent watch, a thought hit me — Tom Brady is good at this broadcasting thing, eh?
I had my doubts that Tom Brady would be able to cut it as a broadcaster. And after Year 1, I didn’t feel great about how things went overall. There was some good, bad, and indifferent — which was to be expected...
It’s been quite the few days for the Chicago Bears. After an all-time thriller on Saturday night resulted in an improbable victory over the rival Packers, Ben Johnson’s team benefitted from another bizarre ending Sunday afternoon as the Pittsburgh Steelers managed to *narrowly* hold on for a victory over the Detroit Lions that clinched a […]
As we do every week in this space, we take a look at the Packers passing game from the previous game. I like to start these off by looking at Jordan Love’s passing chart from NFL Next Gen, but this week we get Malik Willis’ passing chart, because that’s what they had. That is what […]
Jahdae Walker’s first NFL regular-season touchdown was an all-timer.
Uncovered in the end zone because of a busted coverage, Walker’s fourth-down reception provided the equalizing score in a wild Bears-Packers game that helped bring new life to an old rivalry. I just can’t get enough of this moment:

So, I guess this one is more like a 35-hour rule, but that’s ok. After the Bears win over the Packers on Saturday night, I wanted to take a little extra time to unpack everything and let the NFL Sunday play out how it was going to.
Now that it has, thanks to heroics from Caleb Williams and company, the Chicago Bears are officially going to the playoffs ! Let’s react to Saturday’s big win.

The Cardiac Bears do it again! Like many other games this season, the Chicago Bears 22-16 comeback win over the Green Bay Packers took years off all our lives, but wow. What a game! It will easily go down as one of the best regular season games in general and one of the best Bears-Packers […]
There are still some things to sort out over the final two weeks of the season, but two things are for sure when it comes to the NFC North: The Minnesota Vikings will be watching the playoffs from home, and they’ll be watching at least one of their rivals in the postseason — the Chicago Bears. Chicago’s victory over Green Bay, paired with Detroit’s loss to Pittsburgh, allowed the Bears to become the first team in the division to clinch a playoff berth.
While the Packers and Lions are math...
The Baltimore Ravens lost a 28-24 heartbreaker to the New England Patriots on Sunday night, dropping them to 7-8 and putting their season on the ropes. The Pittsburgh Steelers can deliver a knockout punch next week with a win over the Cleveland Browns. Even if they lose, the Ravens still have to beat the Packers […]
Week 16 provided what should be considered an encouraging loss for the Las Vegas Raiders, falling to the Houston Texans by just two points. But let’s check in and see how the weekend treated a few old friends: Josh Jacobs, Tre’von Moehrig and K’Lavon Chaisson. Josh Jacobs Jacobs has had a good season, but this […]
It’s official. Green Bay Packers tight end John FitzPatrick tore his Achilles tendon, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, which was the expectation from his injury on Saturday night. Since Tucker Kraft went down with an ACL tear, FitzPatrick and Luke Musgrave have shared the “starting” tight end role on the team, with FitzPatrick being more of […]
With the Detroit Lions losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers need to lose both games to finish the year, against the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings, while the Lions win out for Green Bay to miss the postseason. As of now, the New York Times/The Athletic playoff simulator gives the […]
Do you believe in miracles? The Detroit Lions need one for the rest of the season. Entering Week 16, the Lions needed the Green Bay Packers to defeat the Chicago Bears to increase their chances of making the playoffs. The Packers failed their mission, knocking the Lions’ playoff chances down a bit. That meant the […]
The Green Bay Packers could have clinched a playoff spot in Week 16 on their first step toward a Super Bowl win. It was a pretty simple route, too. If the Packers won on Saturday, the Detroit Lions have to lose on Sunday and Green Bay is postseason bound. Green Bat lost, though, so it […]
