Bears-Packers Franchise Connections
It’s no secret that the Bears and Packers have one of the most heated rivalries in the NFL. When you have two blue-blood franchises that are located nearby and have been at each other’s throats since the 1920s, you’re naturally going to have plenty of hype when the two teams match up. Each week going […]
Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers: Keys for a Chicago victory
The Chicago Bears are heading up north to face the Green Bay Packers. It feels like this game is the rivalry teetering on an edge, with the last 34 years of Packers dominance on one side and a slide back in Chicago’s favor on the other. At least, that seems to be how Chicago media […]
Bears vs. Packers Injury Report: Kyle Monangai Out, Caleb Williams Questionable
The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers meet on Sunday, and the injury reports are in. Bears running back Kyle Monangai has been ruled out with a thumb and toe injury, and he’s in a walking boot for the turf toe. Head coach Ben Johnson said he’s week-to-week and that injured reserve isn’t an option […]
Who should the Chicago Bears avoid at the trade deadline?
The 3-1 Bears have been linked to the trade market, with fans and pundits speculating that they might make a move to solidify a defense that is showing what some might call a surprising ability to shut down offenses. However, not all moves are created equal. In our last installment, we asked what trade we […]
NFL predictions: Can the Bears keep it up against a beat up Packers team?
For years, the Chicago Bears have looked to regain consistent footing against the Green Bay Packers, simply trying to steal a game here or there to maintain credibility. This year is different. The Bears have won three out of the last four games against the Packers, including a dramatic 31-27 victory in January’s playoff matchup. […]
NFL Icon Mike Ditka passes away at 86
The Chicago Bears and the NFL lost a true legend of the sport today, as Mike Ditka passed away at 86. Born Michael Keller Dyczko Jr. on October 18, 1939, in Carnegie, Pennsylvania, his family changed their name to Ditka because Dyczko was too difficult for people to pronounce. He went on to become one […]
Chicago Bears Big Play Breakdowns from Week 4
What, exactly, did I get myself into? Recap all the explosive plays each week, that won’t be that big of a deal. The Bears are starting a backup quarterback, it’ll probably be a light week. Wrong. Eleven explosive plays as the Bears offense was on the field for about three quarters of the game. Insane […]
Bears at Packers Q&A: We asked ChatGPT since our sister site is running scared
It’s Packers week, and in a big rivalry game like this, you know we will want to do our traditional 5 questions with the SB Nation Green Bay Packers site (Acme Packing Company). Unfortunately, multiple emails to our contact over at Acme went unanswered. Were they simply too busy? Or were they scared? Now, if […]

Buccaneers at Cowboys Open Thread!
Yes, it’s back like it never left! An open thread to discuss the Thursday Night Football game tailored specifically for our Windy City Gridiron members! The NFL Feed still has its own discussion post if you want to chop it up with fans of the other 31 teams, but if you only want to talk […]
Should the Chicago Bears Trade for a Defensive Player?
The Chicago Bears have opened the season with a shocking degree of balance. Instead of looking like a struggling defense being carried by an overpowered offense, Dennis Allen’s unit has held its own. Nonetheless, the Bears continue to be mentioned among teams that might make a move before the November 10th trade deadline—especially when it […]
Bears-Packers: Can Tyson Bagent keep the ball away from Xavier McKinney?
Never in my life have I thought of the Chicago Bears entering Lambeau Field as a trap game — but a lot of things in 2026 don’t quite make sense. So here we are, with the Bears on the road in Green Bay as favorites with their backup QB starting. A combination of sloppy play […]
Tyson Bagent Week 4 QB Grade: Jets @ Bears Film Breakdown
Well, Ben Johnson got us again. After spending the entire week refusing to publicly name his starting quarterback, Johnson decided to take things one step further Sunday afternoon. Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent both trotted onto the field for Chicago’s first offensive snap, with Bagent split out wide while Keenum took the snap, handed the […]
Week 5 game preview: Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers
Shifting expectations are difficult. For years, I dreaded when the Chicago Bears would face the Green Bay Packers. Even in the years when Chicago was good, it still felt like an uphill climb to beat the team up north. In the down years, of which there have been far too many, I was resigned to […]
Bears’ Tyson Bagent looking to build on Jets’ performance against Packers
The Chicago Bears will head to Green Bay this week without their starting quarterback, as Tyson Bagent is set to start in place of Caleb Williams, who continues to work through a hamstring injury. Bagent stepped in for Williams last week against the New York Jets, leading the Bears to a 23-12 victory. He completed […]
Chicago Bears Swift and Monangai Tracker Week 4
At no point in the first 106 seasons of Chicago Bears football have they had two different rushers top 1,000 yards. They came close in 1978, when Roland Harper’ 992 yards finished second to Sweetness. With D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai off to hot starts, I thought tracking a potential first in team history would […]
Chicago Bears News: Bears prepare for Green Bay Packers on Sunday
The Chicago Bears offense had a lot of players on the injury report, and missing Wednesday’s light practice following the two-games worth of offensive snaps they had against the New York Jets, as Chicago gets ready for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Chicago should have the advantage on Sunday, but with a rivalry game, […]

Reviewing the Bears’ PFN grades from Week 4 vs. Jets
Though Case Keenum technically started at quarterback for the Bears in their Week 4 victory over the Jets, Tyson Bagent was the one who led them to 23-12 win on Sunday. The win brought Chicago up to a 3-1 record to begin the 2026 season, and it was a pretty decisive win which saw them […]

The latest Bears Banter Podcast has dropped! It’s Packers week! Not only is it Packers week, but it comes at a time when the Packers are searching for answers, and the Chicago Bears are on a roll.

The Chicago Bears will take on the Green Bay Packers for the first time of the 2026 season this Sunday, and the first official team injury reports for the week have been released. The DNP (did not practice) list was extensive today, including: OL Jonah Jackson (ankle), DL Grady Jarrett (rest), RB Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe), […]
Chicago Bears Pass Protection Analysis on the Sack Allowed vs Jets
The New York Jets pressured Tyson Bagent 13 times, according to Next Gen Stats, but the Chicago Bears allowed only one sack and two quarterback hits. While head coach Ben Johnson did dial up a few more longer developing plays than in the Week 3 game plan for Case Keenum, Bagent’s average air yards per […]
NFL Power Rankings: Quarter Pole Edition

Chicago Bears Stock Watch: Monangai rising as Swift falls
Sunday morning, I found myself getting nervous. As the Chicago Bears game approached, I found myself doubting the optimism and enthusiasm I saw online from fellow Bears fans. I’ve seen the Bears start backup quarterbacks so many times, I thought. And Tyson Bagent is far less experienced than Case Keenum. Surely, there was a chance […]
