The Chicago Bears suffered yet another brutal loss in their Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Detroit Lions. Still, as bad as things got in the logic-defying final 30 seconds of Chicago’s 23-20 Week 13 defeat, the vibes were even worse in the Bears’ locker room after the game. Defensive leader Jaylon Johnson “went crazy,” according […]

The Chicago Bears’ season is all but lost. Head coach Matt Eberflus was fired on Friday after a Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions. Eberflus went 14-32 in his tenure with the Bears.

At this point, what more can even be said about the Chicago Bears?

The Chicago Bears had the most difficult of assignments on Thanksgiving Day. They had to go into Detroit against the hottest and best team in the NFL having lost five games in a row. When the Bears fell behind 16-0 in the first half, it appeared that it was just a matter of how big […]

There’s probably no clearer sign of team dysfunction than a head coach’s failure to call a timeout to give his team a chance to tie or win the game in the final seconds. Moreover, this blunder is so basic it’s a fireable offense, yet Matt Eberflus might keep his Chicago Bears job, as rookie quarterback […]

The Lions will […]

The Detroit Lions are one of the best teams in the NFL in 2024. This is the first time in the Super Bowl era where this is a reasonable statement to make. The Lions are truly having a season for the ages, putting up back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time in franchise history. And […]

Caleb Williams has a developing relationship with fellow rookie Rome Odunze, but the Chicago Bears probably need to move past Matt Eberflus. With a fresh direction for the organization, here are three reasons Williams is the future despite the Bears’ horrific 2024 campaign. Chicago started the season with a 4-2 record. Things looked good. But […]

The Chicago Bears may be in the midst of a five-game losing streak, but the Chicago Bears’ pair of star rookies are a tight duo.

The Chicago Bears have not had the 2024 season that they originally imagined. Chicago is 4-7 heading into Week 13 and is in the basement of the NFC North division standings. The Bears had a chance to get off the mat in Week 12, but fell just short against the Vikings in overtime. Vikings head […]

Despite a 4-7 record and an ongoing five-game losing streak, the Chicago Bears still have a positive point differential this season, which almost seems impossible until you spend the time breaking it down.

Going back to his days as a Heisman quarterback at USC, Caleb Williams has always been known for his unique choice of attire.

It’s no secret that the Chicago Bears are reeling, having lost four games in a row, two of which came in absolutely brutal fashion — one on a Hail Mary, another on a blocked field goal — and the other two in blowout losses. They have a coach on the hot seat, a new offensive coordinator, and […]

But Williams’ heroics were ruined by […]

One week after firing offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, the Chicago Bears were in a position to defeat the Green Bay Packers.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before… the Chicago Bears lost in gut-wrenching fashion on Sunday afternoon, in large part due to a crucial miscalculation by head coach Matt Eberflus, who has just as many heart-breaking, logic-defying losses on his resume than he does wins. Even less surprisingly, after the game, Eberflus is unwilling […]

The Chicago Bears lost a heartbreaker to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Cairo Santos’ game-winning field goal was blocked, sealing Green Bay’s 11th straight win over Chicago.

The Chicago Bears offense has been an abject disaster lately, and things officially hit rock bottom in Week 10. After a 19-3 loss to the hapless New England Patriots, the Bears elected to fire offensive coordinator Shane Waldron after a few consecutive frustrating performances.
