Why Ben Johnson’s Coach of the Year snub is great for the Bears
The NFL doesn’t know it yet, but it may have just already crowned the Chicago Bears next year’s Super Bowl champions. Because the only possible thing that disrespecting head coach Ben Johnson will accomplish is turning him into an even more maniacal supervillian than he already is. As a guy who lives in Boston and […]
Chicago Bears Question of the Day: What’s your bold offseason prediction?
Despite the Super Bowl on Sunday, it feels like the Chicago Bears are amidst one of the two major news cycle lulls in the offseason. The NFL combine is still 3 weeks away, free agency doesn’t start until March 11th, and the NFL draft is still 2.5 months into the future — so there is […]
Chicago Bears Top Ten Playoff Wins of Super Bowl Era: 4. Bears Dent Washington
Number 4 on our list is a game rarely discussed. You could say this game has gotten lost in Bears history. But this is a significant win that announced to the country that the Monsters of the Midway were back. What went into ranking these games? I think what team they beat matters. I think […]
The Bear’s Den, February 6, 2025
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL Ken’s Note: Yesterday I posted a Bad Bunny video, but I have to admit BB is not really my cup of tea when it comes to musicians from a Spanish speaking cultural background. I’m not hating here, BB is loved by millions. The Warning, however, is my kind of music. Three […]
Caleb Williams to DJ Moore is the Next Gen Stats Moment of the Year
The remarkable Caleb Williams to DJ Moore touchdown pass to beat the Green Bay Packers took home the Next Gen Stats Moment of the Year Award at this season’s NFL Honors.

2025 Season In Review: Grading Out The NFC North
One year after entering the playoffs as the best division in football, the NFC North simultaneously took a step back and also wrote its place in history during the 2025 season.

The Bears Draft: How Good Gets Better
Year one of the Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson pairing is in the books, and it was arguably better than anyone realistically thought it could be.

Revisiting the Bears 2025 Draft: First Round Pick 1.10
We all know it takes more than a single season to accurately assess the success of any draft class. Our own Josh Sunderbruch does a phenomenal job of explaining why this is and looking back at a more reasonable benchmark. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take a moment to look back and see how […]

Devin Hester’s Super Bowl moment won’t be the Bears’ last
Ninteen years ago, right about now, Devin Hester made one of the most ridiculous plays we’ve ever seen from a Chicago Bear, running the opening kickoff of Super Bowl LXI back for a touchdown.

With the conclusion of the 2025 season for the Chicago Bears, we get to fondly look back and reflect on what we saw.
