Saturday night at Soldier Field belonged to Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland.
In the Bears’ wild-card win over the Green Bay Packers , the rookie tight end delivered one of the most productive postseason performances the position has ever seen — not just in Chicago, but across the league. Loveland caught 8 passes for 137 yards, averaging 17.1 yards per reception, and became the first rookie tight end in NFL history to record 8-plus receptions and 100-plus receiving yards in a playo...

The NFL showed on Saturday why they’re the best league in professional American sports. Both Wild Card games were phenomenal, and the dramatic finishes in each game were jaw-dropping. But let’s put aside the thrilling Rams vs. Panthers finish, because the nightcap was far more interesting to Detroit Lions fans. The Chicago Bears somehow mounted […]

The New England Patriots will not enter the NFL playoffs until Sunday night, but they already played a role on Saturday as well — at least indirectly. As Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said after his team’s come-from-behind win over the Green Bay Packers, the Patriots served as inspiration. “The one thing that we […]

Last month, when the Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers on a Caleb Williams to DJ Moore walk-off 46-yard touchdown pass in overtime, the Packers and their fans were ticked off at DJ’s headgear in the postgame celebration. Moore was again at the center of an improbable comeback, this time with his 25-yard go-ahead […]

Edwards had to be carted off the field in the final minute of the half, and left tackle Ozzy Trapillo hopped to the sideline in the waning moments of the fourth quarter. Ozzy […]

I’m pretty much non-verbal after watching the Green Bay Packers choke away a second straight game to the Chicago Bears (and they tried to do it three times). Here’s a quick rundown of the team’s snap counts. If I have something to say about it, it’s noted. No full breakdowns this week. Quarterbacks Running Backs […]

When I found out that all three Chicago teams were playing tonight, I figured at least two would win — but I never would’ve guessed all three and the Bulls would be one of them. In surprisingly dominant fashion, the Bulls joined the Bears in victory even before their game even ended, making Chicago native and Packers fan Anthony Davis sit there and watch both his team get demolished by Chicago.

The million-dollar question right now in Green Bay is whether the Packers will or won’t bring back head coach Matt LaFleur, who entered the year without an extension in the first year of new president and CEO Ed Policy’s tenure with the team. Per the reporting, Policy and LaFleur both want LaFleur to be back […]

What? How? In what world?
Much like the last game between these two, the grades needed to be rewritten after the game went final! This game was the Cardiac Bears on steroids. Somehow, some way, the Bears figured out a way to beat the Packers again. The Bears were clutch, the Packers choked, and we’re moving on to the Divisional Round! BEAR DOWN!

EPISODE CXIII: CHICAGO BEARS VS. GREEN BAY PACKERS (PLAYOFF EDITION) — For as much as we discuss “big games” throughout a 17-game schedule, they don’t get much bigger than what we are about to witness between Chicago and Green Bay. The 213th installment of the NFL’s longest active rivalry is the third game between the bitter adversaries since the start of December. Plus, it is also the third playoff game between the teams. For all intents and purposes, this is the ultimate rubber match.
