The Chicago Bears have a big Week 8 contest against the Washington Commanders on the horizon, especially with the latest reports suggesting that star rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels is trending towards playing for the Commanders despite battling a rib injury.

With a showdown against the Commanders looming, the Chicago Bears will have to decide if they are all-in for 2024.

The streaking Chicago Bears did not let an overseas trip to London slow them down.

The internet couldn’t stop roasting Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams for his postgame attire after their dominant 35-16 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Taking questions from the media, Williams wore a poorly fitted light brown pinstripe suit with oversized lapels. The folks with the 79th & Halas Podcast did a great job crowdsourcing the […]

The Chicago Bears are thrilled to have Caleb Williams as their QB1. Williams came into the league with huge expectations and plenty of hype. The rookie struggled throughout the first few weeks of the season, but is finally rounding into form. However, Caleb Williams wasn’t perfect. He missed what would have been a long touchdown […]

For just the third time in the Matt Eberflus era, the Chicago Bears have won back-to-back games, thanks in large part to an offense that is coming together before our very eyes. Sure, a defense that dating back to last season hasn’t allowed 20 points to an opponent in eight straight games deserves some love […]

Five games in, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is off to a historic start to his rookie season. He threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday, beating the Panthers 36-10 and improving to 3-2 in the 2024 NFL season.

The Chicago Bears had endured some hiccups early on in the 2024 campaign under their new Caleb Williams-led offense, but they finally broke out in their Week 5 win against the Carolina Panthers. Williams had a pair of passing touchdowns in this one, and the guy who was on the receiving end of both of […]

As the NFL season continues to go, there has been obvious improvement in Caleb Williams’ play for the Chicago Bears. With two wins in a row, the offense has looked way better, and Williams looks comfortable. Teams have been trying to put pressure on the rookie quarterback, but he’s doing well getting the ball out […]

It’s well-established that the bar for top-tier quarterback play in the city of Chicago is about as low as the final round of a game of Limbo. The Chicago Bears are the only NFL franchise that has never had a 4,000 yard passer, nor a quarterback who has thrown for 30 touchdowns in a season. […]

The 2024 NFL season is witnessing an extraordinary display of talent and poise from rookie quarterbacks. Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix, and Caleb Williams have combined for a truly exceptional early-season achievement, notching ten wins through the season’s first five weeks. This feat, the second-most by rookie quarterbacks during this period since the NFL merger in […]

Through four weeks, Caleb Williams’ rookie season with the Chicago Bears had gotten off to a slow start. The offensive line was struggling, the run game was nonexistent and Williams was struggling to get on the same page as star receiver DJ Moore. It’s safe to say all of those things have been fixed in […]

After a pair of losses to the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts in Weeks 2 and 3, the Chicago Bears were able to get back on track in Week 4 against the Rams, and now enter a Week 5 matchup with the Carolina Panthers as favorites to win the game and get back above .500 […]

We all remember the old childhood playground axiom “First is the worst, second is the best,” but could #2 overall NFL draft picks like C.J. Stroud and Jayden Daniels be proving it’s actually true? (We’ll ignore “third is the one with the hairy chest” for now, no need for body-hair shaming in this particular discussion). […]

The Chicago Bears had an inauspicious start, but were able to pull it together for a close 24-18 win over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4. Caleb Williams continued his development in the Bears offense, but missed an opportunity to connect with DJ Moore in the endzone before the first half. It was a […]

Following a few shaky performances to begin a much-hyped pro career, on Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams quieted some of the naysayers who were concerned that his trajectory was looking a little too similar to Bryce Young’s in Carolina. In Chicago’s 24-18 win over the short-handed Rams, Williams had his cleanest and most […]

Fun fact: no Chicago Bears Bears has thrown for 30+ passing touchdowns and 4000+ passing yards since the forward pass was invented. While that seems like the standard for most quarterbacks lately, it’s surreal that one of the NFL’s oldest franchises has never accomplished such a feat. Bears fans hope Caleb Williams is the first […]

Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears have not exactly gotten off to a glowing start to the season offensively in 2024. Williams has not been able to show the flashes of greatness he displayed throughout the preseason so far this year, and a large part of the reason why is the lack of imagination present […]

The Chicago Bears came into the season with expectations of having a solid offense, but so far, it has probably been one of the worst in the league. There can be blame put on Caleb Williams going through his rookie season, but offensive coordinator Shane Waldron has received most of the criticism. Ahead of their […]

After watching Caleb Williams and company go to battle without a full deck over the past few weeks, the Chicago Bears have made a very encouraging announcement heading into Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season: Keenan Allen is back. That’s right, after missing the last two weeks with a heel injury, Allen has been […]

The Chicago Bears are a walking contradiction. They have a 1-2 record but a point differential of -4, which is about as small a point differential as a team can have at 1-2. They’ve won games where they put up 148 total yards – which feels borderline impossible – but lost games where they put […]

As a Bears fan myself, I can assure you that the Caleb Williams era in Chicago has not started how Bears fans imagined it would. Many fans, myself included, were foolishly expecting Williams to arrive in Chicago and light the city up like a young MJ once did. We had visions of not just a […]

After securing their first win of the 2024 NFL season, Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams are taking their show on the road to Chicago to face off against one of the most popular players to sling a pigskin for USC in decades, Caleb Williams. A premier passer with Heisman pedigree and an incredible […]

You’d be hard-pressed to find a single play that defines the early season struggles of any particular NFL team as well as the 4th and goal speed option that first-year Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron dialed up late in the 1st half against the Indianapolis Colts last weekend. I don’t think it’s an overreaction […]

The Chicago Bears have not gotten off to a great start in the 2024 NFL season. Chicago is 1-2 heading into Week 4, and fans will tell you that they were gifted their first win of the season by Will Levis. So far, the Caleb Williams experience is not living up to the massive amounts […]

Just three games into his rookie season, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has already shown a tremendous amount of growth and maturity in his game even in the most frustrating moments of his young career. Williams, who threw for a Bears rookie record of 363 yards in a Week 3, still has his flaws, but […]

After turning in a stunner of a loss in Week 2, fans weren’t particularly high on the Los Angeles Rams’ prospects in Week 3, when they welcomed a slightly less injured San Francisco 49ers to SoFi Stadium for what felt like a pretty cut-and-dry loss on paper. Fortunately, NFL teams play on the gridiron, not […]

Caleb Williams has shown promise through his first three NFL games with the Chicago Bears. However, his early tenure has not resulted in much team success, as the Bears possess a 1-2 record. One of Williams’ former college competitors, Jayden Daniels, broke out on Monday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, and his success has fans […]
