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. Five of Chicago’s seven losses have come by six or fewer points, including three that have come down to the final play […]

The Chicago Bears needed something of a miracle to tie the score after facing an 11-point deficit to get their Week 12 game to overtime against the Minnesota Vikings.

Fans of both the Chicago Bears and Illinois football are no stranger to heartbreaking losses, and it looked like the Fighting Illini were going to suffer another one against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday.

Following the blocked field goal heard around the world— or at least the Midwest— Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus doubled down on his decision not to run a play before Cairo Santos’ game-winning field goal attempt. Eberflus mentioned a fear of the Green Bay Packers forcing a fumble as a reason not to run […]

One week after firing offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, the Chicago Bears were in a position to defeat the Green Bay Packers. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams set up the game-winning kick with three seconds remaining. Once veteran kicker Cairo Santos nailed the 46-yarder, the Bears would improve to 5-5 on the season with a statement win […]

The Chicago Bears and Los Angeles Chargers were both in need of a cultural rejuvenation last offseason. The former banked on Caleb Williams and an influx of offensive talent as being a sufficient remedy, given that the squad ended the 2023-24 season on a 5-3 run. Meanwhile, the latter chose to make a definitive change […]

The Chicago Bears just keep finding ways to lose. After a couple of disastrous losses over the last month, the Bears found another way to fall just short on Sunday in a 20-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers. After a late touchdown by the Packers put them in the lead, Caleb Williams led the […]

It was American author Kurt Vonnegut who once said, “Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.” Perhaps this is why after the Chicago Bears’ second gut-wrenching defeat in the last four weeks, cornerback Jaylon Johnson is describing Sunday’s […]

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 […]

It’s wild what one play can do to the trajectory of a season. Think about it… with just seconds to play against the Washington Commanders, it looked like the Chicago Bears were on the verge of improving to 5-2 on the season with what looked to be very winnable games against the Arizona Cardinals and […]

As Week 11 approaches, the Chicago Bears look to do something they haven’t done since Dec. 16, 2018: Beating the Packers and breaking their 10-game losing streak.

The Chicago Bears have not had the 2024 season they hoped for during the offseason. Chicago is 4-5 heading into the Week 11 and sits at the bottom of a very competitive NFC North division.

Heading into their Week 10 matchup against the New England Patriots, the Chicago Bears had a prime opportunity to capitalize on facing one of the NFL’s worst teams and get back in the win column after two consecutive losses. However, the Bears and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams turned in one of their poorest performances of […]

Many have assumed that the Chicago Bears would be firing their coach for a while but ended up being wrong about the first man released.

The Chicago Bears fired Shane Waldron on Tuesday and since then, the rumor train is in full operation.

The Chicago Bears and head coach Matt Eberflus have fired their offensive coordinator, Shane Waldron after a grueling 4-5 start to the season, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Under Waldron, the offense has underperformed compared to what expectations were. They’re 24th in the league in points per game with 19.4. Mind you, they have […]

In Week 10, the Chicago Bears looked rough.

The Chicago Bears haven’t surpassed 15 points scored in a game since their London matchup against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars on October 13, and it’s time for heads to roll.

If it isn’t the Dallas Cowboys, the Chicago Bears have the worst head coaching situation in the NFL midway through the 2024 season. All signs point to the team completely losing faith in Matt Eberflus as the current leader with fans pressuring the front office to fire him. However, if Chicago obliges and ends Eberflus’ […]

It’s fitting that on an “Overreaction Monday” episode of the Pat McAfee Show, NFL insider Adam Schefter would come on and drop one of the hottest overreaction takes of the first half of the season. Of course, with the Chicago Bears offense, nothing is off the table when it comes to ineptitude, even if it […]

The Chicago Bears season has officially gone off the rails.

The Chicago Bears have now gone eight consecutive quarters without scoring a touchdown. Even in the darkest days of Bears football, this isn’t common.

A Chicago Bears season that looked extremely promising just a few weeks ago has quickly turned sour.

We’ve officially reached a point in the NFL season that fans of the Chicago Bears have gotten to be all too familiar with — hoping and praying that a new head coach will soon be on the way. It happened with Marc Trestman. It happened with John Fox. It happened with Matt Nagy. And oh-so-predictably, […]

Following a disappointing 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday, Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has seemingly become the embodiment of the frustration and disappointment that surrounds this team.

The Chicago Bears are coming off their worst performance of the 2024 season in Week 9, suffering a demoralizing 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in yet another road defeat for head coach Matt Eberflus. At least in Week 10, the Bears will be back at home to face the New England Patriots. Just a […]

The Chicago Bears came into the 2024 season with a new sense of life. They seemed to luck out in the NFL Draft, thanks to a pick swap in the previous year’s event, which allowed them to draft one of the best quarterback prospects in years, USC’s Caleb Williams, at No. 1 overall, as well […]

On the very same day that former Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy was relieved of his duties as the offensive coordinator of the Las Vegas Raiders, most Bears fans found themselves hopeful were that Matt Eberflus would make a similar decision regarding current offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. It didn’t take long for Waldron to come under […]

There was no holding back from Matt Eberflus on why he kept Caleb Williams in the game during the final stages of the Chicago Bears’ 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. In the fourth quarter, Williams limped off with an ankle injury, but played out the final drive despite the huge deficit. […]

During the closing seconds of the Chicago Bears game against the Arizona Cardinals, Caleb Williams limped off the field after already being down 29-9.

Just a little heads up coming right out of the gate… as a Chicago Bears fan myself, I can promise you, this Most to Blame column is going to be a little unhinged, not only because that’s exactly how I’m feeling after an embarrassing 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but also because I’m positive that’s […]
