Among the thousands in attendance at Soldier Field was Simone Biles, watching her husband, Jonathan Owens. For her, it […]

The 2025 Chicago Bears have been a solid team this year. New head coach Ben Johnson has completely revamped the Chicago offense, in particular. Caleb Williams looks completely different this year and is playing better. Then, the Bears have a two-headed monster in the backfield that will continue to split carries between D’Andre Swift and […]

The Chicago Bears are trying to advance to a 5-3 record as they take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9. It appears head coach Ben Johnson is pulling out all of the tricks on Sunday, as he called a Philly Special play that resulted in a receiving touchdown for quarterback Caleb Williams. It was […]

The Chicago Bears are trying to clean up penalty problems, and they’ve already made a move to bolster the defense. But here are two last-minute trades the Bears must make before the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline. Sitting at 4-3 in a tough division, the Bears still have a chance to make noise. But they have […]

The Packers once famously wished Jonathan Garvin a happy birthday before moving on from the 2020 seventh-rounder, an awkward turn for a young edge defender who’d been bouncing between outside linebacker and occasional interior work in Green Bay. He logged rotational snaps over three seasons and flashed in spurts, but depth eventually squeezed him out. […]

On Sunday afternoon, the Chicago Bears came crashing back down to Earth with a largely uncompetitive road loss against the lowly Baltimore Ravens, once again playing without quarterback Lamar Jackson. The loss brought the Bears’ impressive four-game winning streak to an end and lowered their record on the 2025 season to 4-3. One big factor […]

The Chicago Bears’ winning ways came to an end on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Chicago Bears were starting to breathe. After years dysfunctional football, the Bears had won four games in a row while playing in the toughest division in the NFL. They were in third place in the NFC North, and first-year head coach Ben Johnson had his team heading in the right direction. Were the Bears […]

Both the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens are in a precarious position in Week 8. At 4-2 and on a four game win streak, the Bears want to keep the good times rolling. As for the 1-5 Ravens, they’re hoping a potential Lamar Jackson return can provide a spark. If Jackson were to play, and […]

When Ben Johnson took the Chicago Bears head coaching job, helping quarterback Caleb Williams find his No. 1 pick ceiling was his top prerogative. So far, the results have been mixed. But Week 7’s matchup against the New Orleans Saints was a clear negative for Williams. The Bears came out with a 24-16 victory, but […]

After a first half that went all Chicago Bears, the New Orleans Saints came storming back in the second half. However, all of New Orleans’ momentum went away after a trick play on third-and-long was called back. Quarterback Spencer Rattler found Taysom Hill over the middle. Hill then passed the ball to Alvin Kamara, who […]

After their last-second victory over the Washington Commanders, the Chicago Bears are now 3-2 on the season.

The Chicago Bears are coming off a come-from-behind win against the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football.

The Chicago Bears moved to 3-2 with a last-second win over the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football. Of course, not everyone is happy with the win. But one prominent figure seemed even more upset. Throughout the broadcast, Troy Aikman received plenty of flack for how he spoke about Jayden Daniels and the Commanders compared […]

Their Monday Night Football matchup in Week 6 is clearly a test against one […]

It’s a work in progress for the Chicago Bears, and more needs to be done. But they have tasted late-game success.

The Chicago Bears are entering their bye week at 2-2 on the heels of a last-second blocked field goal win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4.

The Chicago Bears, after a pair of disappointing losses to open the season, are now 2-2 entering their bye week. And a reason for the bounce-back has, no doubt, been the developing relationship of second-year quarterback Caleb Williams and first-year head coach Ben Johnson. While Williams did not have his best game by any means […]

Although the Chicago Bears (2-2) pulled out a much-needed road victory over the Las Vegas Raiders (1-3) on Sunday, everything about the performance was laborious. Not even the weekly post-halftime interview came easy, as Ben Johnson seemingly expressed some frustration while speaking with CBS Sports sideline reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala. Before resuming play in Vegas, and […]

Both the Raiders and Bears could really use a win in Week 4. So something’s got to give. They may have the same record, but both teams are coming into this game in wildly different situations. Las Vegas got a big win in Week 1, but has since gone on a two-game losing streak. That […]

The Chicago Bears got their first win of the Ben Johnson era in Sunday’s decisive 31-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.

It took three games, but the Chicago Bears finally got the Ben Johnson experience. Against the Dallas Cowboys, Johnson drew up a flea-flicker to bamboozle the defense.

The Chicago Bears won their first game of the 2025 season, taking down the Dallas Cowboys 31-14 in Week 3.

The Dallas Cowboys had a disappointing 7-10 record last year and there was not a lot of optimism at the start of the season.
