Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
It feels like at the end of each game, Chicago Bears fans collectively say, “It wasn’t pretty, but they got the win.”, and it’s hard to feel differently after Sunday’s fourth consecutive win at Soldier Field. At this point, a win is a win, but at some point soon, you’d like to see the Bears […]
The New Orleans Saints were back on the road when they visited the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Here’s a look at all that went down as the black and gold sought to find their first road win of the season. First Quarter The Bears were forced into a three-and-out on the game’s first possession, but […]
A lot has been made about this being the Chicago Bears’ first four-game winning streak since 2018, but did you know it was just the second time they’ve had four straight wins since 2012? That 2012 team was the final year of the Lovie Smith era, and this 26 to 14 win over the New […]
I’ve written on this topic previously, but now I’ve got some new information that I wanted to pass along to you. As you know if you attend Cubs games when there are promotional gate giveaways, the team limits those to the first 10,000 (or “up to” that number, as they generally say) who come to […]
The Blackhawks picked up an impressive win last night, closing a tough segment of their season. They opened the new year with seven games in 12 days, skating every other day for almost two full weeks. And many of those games were against teams projected to be in the mix for a playoff spot this year. For a team that supposedly has the worst roster in hockey that we’ve been told will be cleaning up confetti after another draft lottery party, coming out of that stretch of games with a 3-2-2 recor...
The run game and defense dominated in this one from start to finish, but plenty of noteworthy notes to discuss from yesterday’s win. Let’s get to it. Offense: Defense: Special Teams: What about you? What were some of your top takeaways from the win over the Saints?
Maybe it wasn’t a work of art, but the Chicago Bears found a way to win (by multiple scores) a total trap game in nasty conditions. That’s four straight wins for the first time in seven years. A random combination thought about the Cubs’ bullpen group that I want to keep in mind for the offseason. For the last several years running, two things have been true every single year. First, the Cubs find reclamation relievers who wind up being big contributors. Second, younger/newer guys who w...
Sunday afternoon was a rough one for the New Orleans Saints as they fell 26-14 to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Yesterday’s game was one of numbers for New Orleans: 1 missed field goal by Blake Grupe, 3 sacks by the Bears defense, 4 interceptions thrown by Spencer Rattler and an 8-game winning streak […]
The New Orleans Saints dropped to 1-6 after a dominant performance from the Dennis Allen-led Chicago Bears defense. Similar to the Saints’ other losses this season, the Saints were down two scores early and couldn’t rally back. While there were a few promising performances from players for New Orleans in the loss, it was a […]
After almost a whole month since playing at Soldier Field, the Chicago Bears faced the New Orleans Saints on Sunday and took home a win. The Bears now have a four-game winning streak for the first time since 2018. What’s more is that before today, the Bears had not beaten the Saints since 2008 under […]

Following their 26 to 14 whistle-to-whistle win over the New Orleans Saints, the Chicago Bears have won four games in a row, and at (4-2), they’ve climbed out of the NFC North cellar. The Baltimore Ravens just had their bye week, and at (1-5), they are in last place in the AFC North. It’s been […]
I said it to lead off player grades as well, but this was one of the weirder-feeling Bears wins that I can remember in a long time (granted, there haven’t been many wins in general in recent memory). Similar to the Washington game, the offense was gifted a few chances to put the game out of reach early, but again came up with threes instead of sixes, and took a couple of penalties that shot them in the foot. CHICAGO BEARS WIN AGAIN: Player Grades | Game Recap However, the defense did...
In the Chicago Bears’ 26 to 14 win over the New Orleans Saints, rookie tight end Colston Loveland had a chance to show off the underappreciated reason the Bears made him the tenth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Loveland (6’6″, 241) was a part of why the Bears racked up 222 rushing yards, […]

The Ben Johnson post-game rah-rah speeches have been a sweet treat after Chicago Bears victories this year, but the team’s Week 7 win against the New Orleans Saints was all about Dennis Allen. CHICAGO BEARS WIN AGAIN: Game Recap | Player Grades So, naturally, the Bears’ defensive coordinator received a game ball for his efforts in Sunday’s win against the Saints. It was the only game ball Johnson handed out after the game. Let’s go inside the locker room to see how the magic happened...
They’ve done it! The Chicago Bears have just secured their fourth consecutive win. It is the first time this franchise has accomplished that feat since 2018. Do I care that the streak has come against the Cowboys, Raiders, Commanders, and Saints? Not one bit. We, on the whole, have been through a lot since then … so I am not going to take it for granted when this team goes on a winning streak. It was ugly, but the result was certainly enjoyable. FINAL: Chicago Bears 26, New Orleans Saints...
This is one of the weirder Bears wins I can remember in some time. They came out flying and dominated early. Let things get dicey late, but the Saints also never really got within an arm’s length. Not the cleanest win we will ever see, but never apologize for winning in the NFL. Four in a row. Bears Instant Grades Offense QB Caleb Williams | C- He did some good things and showed his ability to extend plays in the pocket. However, for most of the day, he just never really lo...
The New Orleans Saints didn’t quite come marching into Soldier Field on Sunday, and the Chicago Bears sent them home. A four-game winning streak puts the Bears at 4-2 with some tough games ahead. A few storylines ran through the week leading up to the game. The Saints’ starting quarterback, Spencer Rattler, lost his starting […]

1909 Hugh Duffy took over as the fifth White Sox manager of all time, after Billy Sullivan had a disappointing 78-74 year in his one year at the player-manager helm. Just as Sullivan’s defensive genius didn’t serve him particularly well as a skipper, Duffy was a Hall of Fame player who ended up a lousy […]
