Ninteen years ago, right about now, Devin Hester made one of the most ridiculous plays we’ve ever seen from a Chicago Bear, running the opening kickoff of Super Bowl LXI back for a touchdown.

I had not thought about Kliff Kingsbury as a Chicago Bears offensive coordinator candidate until I saw this post on Twitter from Ted Nguyen, who does a ton of good stuff at The Athletic — particularly with All-22 insight: Best thing for Kingsbury might be to try to get the Bears OC job (though no connection has been reported). Obviously, he wouldn’t call plays but getting experience learning an under center offense would benefit him and his stock immensely. It would be way better for his ...

Sean McVay’s coaching tree with the Rams has a wide reach, but one name that never comes up in those conversations is Thomas Brown. Although Brown actually has head coaching experience already (he was Bears interim head coach in 2024), his rise through the ranks since being an offensive assistant for McVay from 2020-2022 has […]

Day 16 of the Chicago Bears offseason. In quiet moments this time of year, I think about the only time I’ve ever seen my favorite team in the Super Bowl was at a Super Bowl party that I didn’t even really want to attend. I’m not sure what I’d do if the Bears made a Super Bowl now. But I know I wouldn’t go to a party I have no interest attending. And now, I’m wondering if people actually like Super Bowl parties. It’s been a busy morning at BN Bears. We can begin with Chicago’s search for...

Let’s address the elephant in the room: the Bears have negative cap space heading into the 2026 NFL offseason. It’s not the abundance of resources fans are used to seeing. Chicago has been big spenders almost every year that Ryan Poles has been their general manager. Last year was no exception: they traded for both […]

Earlier today, the Chicago Bears named tight end Colston Loveland, the tenth overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, as their Rookie of the Year. In any other year, the Bears could have honored wide receiver Luther Burden or running back Kyle Monangai, but this year, it was the dynamic Loveland who took home the […]

I am ready to follow any and all Trey Hendrickson rumors this offseason. Fans who support 30 of the NFL’s 32 teams are in offseason mode. And after the type of season the Chicago Bears just had, it feels like everyone has their general manager caps on with hopes of devising a plan to make this team better in 2026. As you might expect, many plans involve adding an impact pass-rusher to the mix. More specifically, Hendrickson. Over at Pro Football Focus, Mason Cameron has the best land...

Day 15 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I’ve already begun my Super Bowl food preparation by nailing down the chili recipe I’m going to use via my friend Jim. It is my favorite chili recipe to go off of because of its versatility. For instance, I love using a blend of Italian sausage and ground beef when I make that recipe. I once made it with ground turkey, chorizo, and diced chicken. There is an idea rattling around in my head of what I want to do this time. We’ll see if I can nail it down by...
