Well, that’s why you need to beat the Nets and the Bulls. The Oklahoma City Thunder handed the Sixers their third loss in a row when they fell 129-104 Sunday afternoon. Tyrese Maxey slowed down after a brilliant first quarter, leading the Sixers with 28 points, five assists and four steals shooting 10-of-18 from the […]
The CHL got back under way this weekend, and the Blackhawks’ pipeline wasted absolutely no time making their impact. On Sunday, a Blackhawks prospect had a hat trick for the second time in as many days. Steven Ellis / X Saturday — Nathan Behm, Kamloops The WHL was back in action on Saturday night. Nathan Behm had a hat trick and two assists for a five-point night in a 9-5 win for Kamloops. Yes, I said five points ! Behm scored once in the first period and twice in the final thre...
Ben Johnson is a fascinating person to listen to when it comes to talking football. Even as the flu bug attacks, the Chicago Bears are riding high entering their Week 17 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. They officially clinched a playoff spot last week. And on Saturday night, the Bears also claimed their first NFC North title since 2018. Given their success, you can expect to see (and hear) from more players and coaches in the coming days and weeks leading into their playoff run (...
The Panthers didn’t do the Bears any favors this afternoon. Carolina fell to Seattle, eliminating the cleanest path for Chicago to take control of the NFC’s top seed on Sunday night. But while the door didn’t swing open, it’s not closed, either — the Bears still very much have a route to the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Here’s where things stand: The Bears (11-4) are guaranteed to finish as either the 1, 2, or 3 seed in the NFC. They entered the day sitting at No. 2 behind the Seahawks (12...

Are we about to get a Chicago Bears Flu Game? The team is getting some good news on the health front. Brad Biggs shares the latest: #Bears RT Darnell Wright is en route to Santa Clara. He did not travel with the team Saturday because of an illness. Wright is questionable and his availability will be a game-time decision. He's had a Pro Bowl-caliber season and this is potentially good news. — Brad Biggs (@BradBiggs) December 28, 2025 Bears Flu Game Watch: Wright, Moore, Zac...
The NFC North banner is already hanging — at least figuratively — after the Bears clinched the division Saturday night thanks to Baltimore’s win over Green Bay. But the most meaningful stakes of the season are still ahead. With a win over the San Francisco 49ers tonight and a Panthers upset of the Seahawks this afternoon, Chicago would wake up Monday holding the No. 1 seed in the NFC. And on the eve of the biggest December game the franchise has played in years, the Bears may be catching ...
The Blackhawks won a huge game coming out of the break in Dallas last night. But that game required a shootout — before they could fly home and grab a few hours of sleep before hosting Sidney Crosby and the Penguins tonight. As I mentioned in our bullets this morning, Darren Pang said on the broadcast last night there is a chance the Blackhawks get their captain back for tonight’s game. Without a morning skate, we’ll have to wait and see what the lineup looks like during warmups. I’m goin...
Hello, Chicago Bears fans! After the Lions’ loss to the Vikings and the Packers’ loss to the Ravens, the Chicago Bears are officially Kings of the North! With the division in hand, the Bears will face off against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday with playoff seeding in the balance. It is still possible for […]
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported early on Sunday morning that San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is “highly unlikely” to play tonight against the Chicago Bears. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Kittle will give it a go pre-game to see if he can play. Ricky Pearsall, who is also listed as questionable, is “likely to […]
1947 In what was a game played later in the year than any NFL contest ever, the Chicago Cardinals won the NFL title, 28-21, over the Philadelphia Eagles at Comiskey Park. The club went 9-3 on the season, one that saw them go an undefeated 5-0 at home (yeah, just five home games, seven road, […]
The San Francisco 49ers have another big primetime game in Week 17, facing the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football as they look to continue their push for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. The 49ers are riding a five-game winning streak heading into Sunday’s game, but face one of the hottest teams in […]
To follow up the intro from Saturday’s BN Bears Bullets lead-in: My first pho experience was great. Tremendous. I’m sure I’ll like it more once I get the hang of using chop sticks. In case you missed it: The Chicago Bears are the 2025 NFC North champs ! And in doing so, they became the 20th team to put up a one-year worst-to-first turnaround in the last 23 years. Because I’m sure you’re curious, the Bears have done it three times (2005, 2018, 2025). More history: Did you know t...
Fresh off the snapping of a six-game losing streak, the Hawks are back home on Sunday night to host the Pittsburgh Penguins. Somehow, in the year 2025, a preview involving this Pittsburgh franchises still requires writing the names Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, as all three remain key contributors for the team despite Crosby and Letang being 38 and Malkin being 39. Perhaps that reliance on older players — don’t forget about 35-year-old Erik Karlsson, either — also explains...
Tonight’s Sunday Night Football matchup is a massive one! The Bears are battling for a shot at the top seed in the NFC after clinching the NFC North, and the 49ers still have playoff seeding at stake as well prior to today’s slate kicking off. Who will come out on top in Santa Clara? Let’s take a look at some odds, props, and more for tonight’s game. Dec 7, 2025; Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA; Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (18) warms up before the game against the Gr...
This one’s pretty easy, because it says “Jackie Robinson Day, April 15, 2007” on the message board beneath the Wrigley Field scoreboard. Credit again goes to BCB reader Clark Addison. In fact, it’s the very first Jackie Robinson Day, and Griffey was the player most responsible for making that happen. April 15, 2007 was the […]
It wasn’t just what Ryan Poles said in his opening presser as Chicago Bears general manager, but the moment immediately following his last word that stuck with me: “We’re going to take the North and never give it back,” he said, followed by a flipping of the page as he continued his remarks. In reality, […]
DA BEARS ARE THE NFC NORTH CHAMPIONS . That’s not the end goal in a season that has become as compelling as this one, but it’s absolutely something you want to achieve when the year starts. And something very few would’ve predicted back in September. So I’m gonna smile about it. (Now go get that number one seed …. ) We’ll have more analysis on the Hunter Harvey signing , because, like I said, I love the potential upside there. Here, though, I wanted to talk about the various implication...
Taking out the Bulls at the United Center last night, the Bucks salvaged the second half of their back-to-back with their second road win in three games—no small feat for this year’s squad. Milwaukee has defeated Chicago in both of their matchups so far. Read our full summary of the game here and catch a […]

When the Blackhawks selected forward Nathan Behm in the third round (No. 66 overall) in the 2025 NHL Draft, I was intrigued. He was a prospect going into the draft that some analysts thought had the potential to be an early second round pick. In his pre-draft season, Behm scored 31 goals with 35 assists in 56 games for a team that wasn’t in the playoff race. When he slid in the draft, it was surprising. And I was excited the Blackhawks selected him. The more highlights I watched and ...
The San Francisco 49ers look to continue their push for the No. 1 seed in the NFC on Sunday night with their most unique challenge of the season against the Chicago Bears. The 49ers are coming off a rousing 48-27 Monday night victory against the Indianapolis Colts and look to continue that momentum into their […]
