Another week, another game winning drive for Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears. Yes, that’s the same opening sentence as last week. No, Caleb Williams didn’t need to do much on this particular game winning drive, but it still counts! That’s now five (5) such drives on the season, tied for the league lead, and […]

The NFL season is quickly moving through November, Thanksgiving is on the horizon, and yet it still feels like each week a different team ends up on the top of everyone’s power rankings. The Chicago Bears keep on winning, improbably, but are moving in the right direction as they now sit atop their division. The […]

And with their third consecutive win, the Chicago Bears are in the midst of their second honest-to-goodness winning streak this year.

I repeat, it’s November 19th, and your Chicago Bears are in first place in the NFC North. “They haven’t beaten anybody.” “They are the luckiest team in the league.” “Caleb Williams stinks.” Just let the hate wash over you like […]

It feels so foreign to have the Chicago Bears be good. Or at least winning. They were losing so often, for so long, I forgot what this is like. Each week, it feels like another poor record from recent years is getting broken. For example, Ben Johnson has more road wins as the Bears’ head […]

1. That’s five times, now. Five times, the Chicago Bears have come back to steal a win from an opponent in the final minute this year. Is it Ben Johnson’s manic energy? Is it Caleb Williams becoming The Guy? Is it pure luck? All of the above? I don’t care. Because right now, the Bears […]

Picture this: it’s September 15th, the Bears have just been rocked by the Detroit Lions by 31 points, fall to 0-2, and are 1-12 in their last 13 regular season games. Bleak. Things are looking very bleak. Fast forward, and it is November 18th, and things could not feel more different. Winners of 7 of […]

Last week, I kindly asked the Chicago Bears to win a game in blowout fashion so that my blood pressure could have an easy-going Sunday. Unfortunately, the team didn’t listen. Another rollercoaster of a game on Sunday resulted in a Chicago Bears last minute victory yet again, this time at U.S. Bank Stadium against the […]

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson says you never apologize for wins in the National Football League. The Bears are (7-3), and considering how bad this franchise has been, that’s an awesome place to be. “Proud of the guys, seven and three, that’s nothing to scoff at,” Johnson said in his postgame press conference. “As […]

The crow has been served, and I am about to eat it dutifully. Every time someone asked before the season how I felt about the Chicago Bears’ prospects for 2025, I’ll charitably say I went with the “reverse psychology” approach: “Wake me up once they get to seven wins.” In my mind, seven wins felt […]

With so many bad teams in the league this year, the playoff picture is more condensed than it has been in […]

Yesterday’s 19 to 17 come-from-behind win over the Minnesota Vikings was fueled by the special teams, but all three phases have had their big moments in the […]

There’s still one more game to play in Week 11, but the Monday Night Football game between the Dallas Cowboys* and the Las Vegas Raiders won’t impact the current playoff seedings in the NFC. The Chicago Bears are in first place in the NFC North, and this is the latest the Bears have had the […]

Here we are. Yet another win despite not playing a clean, complimentary football game. But a huge divisional win, no less. Arguably, the most important win of the season for the Chicago Bears on the road against the rival Minnesota Vikings. Let’s get to my notes in this one. Offense: Defense: Special Teams: Check out […]
