Luther Burden returns from injury, helps Bears to big win

Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about Luther Burden III. Because football is better in Chicago these days than in Columbia (unfortunately).

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Chicago Bulls

Often mocked as perennial Play-In Tournament participants, perhaps no one in the league is more familiar with being a middling team hovering around .500 than the Chicago Bulls.

Bears Nightcap: Chicago Survives the Weather, the Chaos, and the Giants

For most of Sunday afternoon, the story at Soldier Field wasn’t Caleb Williams or Jaxson Dart or even the Bears’ playoff chase. It was the weather. Light snow. Sideways wind. A stadium that felt more like a wind tunnel than a football field. And in the middle of all that, the Bears and Giants traded punches in a game that kept swinging from sloppy to dramatic to downright electric. New York, losers of 10 straight road games, briefly broke through the malaise thanks to Dart’s playmaking. B...

WATCH: An Absolutely Electric Ben Johnson Gives Caleb Williams a Game Ball After Bears Rally to Win

Caleb Williams made magic happen at Soldier Field on Sunday. So, of course he was going to get a game ball from Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson after the team’s come-from-behind win against the New York Giants. Cornerback Chauncey Gardner-Johnson got one, too. But let’s make no mistake about it — this was a signature game from QB1. And as you might imagine, the postgame festivities inside the Bears locker room were absolutely lit: Hits every time. pic.twitter.com/qgvNjbC1Nh...

Six Standout Performers From the Blackhawks’ Successful Six-Game Road Trip

The Chicago Blackhawks just finished a six-game road trip with a bang! The 5-1 win over the Red Wings on Sunday afternoon gave them three straight wins to end the trip. They come home with a 3-2-1 mark on the trip. When you consider the first game of the trip was the first — and, still, the only — bad loss the Blackhawks have suffered this season ( 6-3 in Winnipeg ), closing the trip the way they did is extremely impressive. A couple noteworthy team stats: The Blackhawks score...

Bears Instant Grades Offense QB Caleb Williams | A Caleb Williams, despite having his pass-catchers fail him, led the Bears to a win.

Bears come from behind to defeat Giants, improve to 6-3

The Cavs trust Jaylon Tyson, and he’s proving why

The Cleveland Cavaliers were on the verge of a comeback last night against the Chicago Bulls, when it became clear that the double-big lineup of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley was moving too slowly to keep up with Chicago’s pace. This left Kenny Atkinson with a decision: Roll with one of his veterans in Dean […]
