Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady continues to heap praise on Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams.
It doesn’t get much better than being acknowledged by The G.O.A.T. for having the best throw of the 2025 NFL season. Brady breaks it down here:

Caleb Williams made the best throw of 2025, so says Tom Brady
I could watch that throw allllll day. But also, I am...
Ok, I know it might not mean a whole lot in terms of where he plays next season, and pretty much everyone who watched it knew how special Caleb Williams’ TD pass to Cole Kmet was on Sunday night, but hearing Maxx Crosby get excited about it, well, got me excited too.
On his podcast, “ The Rush “, Crosby talked about the improbable TD pass from Williams to Kmet to tie the game with just seconds left in the 4th quarter of Sunday’s Divisional Round matchup with the Rams. Obviously, the Bears...
The moment that stuck with me from Ben Johnson’s season-ending press conference had nothing to do with scheme, game management, or even the sting of the playoff loss . It was simpler than that, and more revealing about where he believes the Chicago Bears are headed.
Catching the football.
Johnson made it clear Wednesday that his focus has already shifted to 2026. And when asked what needs to improve for the Bears’ offense to take the next step, he didn’t sidestep it, soften it, or dr...
Day 4 of the Chicago Bears offseason. It took all of four days for me to think “the intro part of this should be in bold-face type.” OK, we can dig into Bullets now that we’ve got that out of my system.
ICYMI: Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is up for the AP Coach of the Year award. The loaded field of finalists includes Mike Macdonald (Seahawks), Mike Vrabel (Patriots), Kyle Shanahan (49ers), and Liam Coen (Jaguars).
If I had to power rank them based solely on this year’s perform...
Many of the Eagles candidates for offensive coordinator have already accepted other offers, including their first in-person interviewee Zac Robinson, who will be heading to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers instead. It appears that the team is now moving on to their next batch of names, and have requested an interview with Bears OC Declan Doyle. […]
The Los Angeles Rams may not beat the Chicago Bears in the NFC divisional round of the playoffs without the key contributions of second-year linebacker Omar Speights. Speights’ standout play last weekend was an important fourth down stop at the goal line to slow Chicago’s comeback attempt. He stepped in front of a Caleb Williams […]
Mock drafts are going to hit differently this offseason for the Chicago Bears, because for the first time since 2013, Chicago’s first-round pick is in the 20s. That draft, they took Kyle Long at 20 overall, and he played in three straight Pro Bowls to begin his career. Long is also the last Bear drafted […]

Al Harris, next man up? The Washington Commanders are interviewing Bears secondary coach Al Harris, who had the same role under Dan Quinn when they were with the Dallas Cowboys two years ago. Dallas blocked Quinn’s attempt to add Harris to his coaching staff in Washington. If Harris is hired, he would replace Joe Whitt […]
Chicago Bears defensive backs coach and defensive pass game coordinator Al Harris interviewed for the Green Bay Packers’ defensive coordinator vacancy today, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. So far, this is Harris’ only interview that has been set up for this cycle. Since his playing days, which included 2003 to 2010 in Green Bay, Harris […]
Eric Bieniemy is one-and-done in Chicago.
Just days after the Chicago’s season came to an end with a loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round, Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson will be searching for a new assistant to coach up his running backs. Eric Bieniemy, who was hired as Chicago’s running backs coach last offseason, is rejoining the Kansas City Chiefs as the team’s offensive coordinator:
Done deal: The Chiefs agreed to terms with Eric Bieniemy as their offensive coor...
The Chiefs have officially hired Bears running backs coach Eric Bieniemy to become their new offensive coordinator, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported on Wednesday. Jordan Schultz had reported on Monday that Bieniemy was expected to return to Kansas City, and the hiring is now official. Bieniemy returns to the Chiefs’ organization, where he spent ten […]
The Bears’ season comes to a heartbreaking end with a 20-17 overtime loss to the Rams in the Divisional Round, and the crew takes time to process it all on the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast, presented by Obvious Shirts .
Hosts Patrick Flowers, Matt Rooney, and Luis Medina open the show by reacting to the midweek Ben Johnson and Ryan Poles press conference, sharing their biggest takeaways — including Johnson’s advice for Caleb Williams to step away from football for a bit, a sentiment th...
The Los Angeles Rams are set to play the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in the NFC Championship game after defeating the Chicago Bears in overtime, 20-17. However, if one thing is certain, it’s that if the Rams perform as they have over the last four weeks, and especially over the last two, it won’t be […]
Now the Falcons general manager search is really ramping up. On Wednesday, we learned that the Falcons put in for a flurry of interview requests with Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham, Texans assistant GM James Liipfert, and 49ers director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams. They join Steelers assistant GM Andy Weidl, who […]
Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles met with the media for the final time this season on Wednesday at Halas Hall. Poles didn’t sound like a general manager ready to take a victory lap, even after Chicago’s success in 2025.
When he met with reporters at Halas Hall following the Bears’ season-ending overtime loss to the Rams, Poles struck a tone that mirrored his head coach’s : appreciative, clear-eyed, and unsatisfied. The 2025 season delivered real progress and real momentum, but in ...
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson didn’t sound like a coach interested in perspective when he stepped to the podium at Halas Hall for the final time this season.
In the days since the Bears’ 20–17 overtime loss to the Rams in the Divisional Round , much of the conversation around Chicago has leaned toward optimism, from me included. A wildly successful first season, a foundation laid, a team ahead of schedule.
Johnson made it clear Wednesday that he doesn’t see it that way at all....
It’s another week which means more questions at cornerback for the Los Angeles Rams as we head into the NFC Championship. Unlike previous weeks, this isn’t necessarily because the cornerbacks played poorly in the divisional round against the Chicago Bears. Outside of Cobie Durant’s gaffe while covering tight end Cole Kmet on Caleb Williams’ touchdown […]
While Kevin Stefanski has been hired and is busy building his staff, the Falcons general manager search has been a much quieter affair. We’ve all been waiting to see when they’ll interview candidates like Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham, who interviewed for the president of football job that was inevitably going to Matt Ryan, […]
Day 3 of the Chicago Bears offseason. After plowing through the first season of Andor on Disney+, I think I need to pace myself binge-watching shows moving forward this offseason. We’ve got a lot of time to bridge the gap between now and when training camp opens.
Bears General Manager Ryan Poles and Head Coach Ben Johnson will speak to the media at 10 a.m. CT at Halas Hall. We’ll have key quotes and thoughts on what was said throughout the day.
I’m still thinking about this Ben...

Coming off an 11-win NFC North championship season, a Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers, and a nail-biting divisional-round playoff game against […]
On Monday, reports surfaced of the Kansas City Chiefs’ plan to fill the vacant offensive coordinator position with a coach who has held that title in Kansas City before: Eric Bieniemy. After one year as the running backs coach with the Chicago Bears, he will return to the Chiefs for the 2026 season. Bieniemy will […]
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is one of five finalists for the highest honor that the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) has for a player, the Alan Page Community Award. According to the NFLPA, “The award annually recognizes one union member who goes above and beyond to perform community service in his team city […]
1. Congratulations to the Chicago Bears on one of the most fun seasons of football they’ve ever put together. Seriously. That was awesome. Obviously, it’s over now, but it was awesome to take the ride with all of you. 2. Weren’t we just talking about how Caleb Williams just made the greatest throw Bears fans […]
Even though we are just two days into the Chicago Bears offseason, it is never too early to take a look at players we’d like to see back next season. One such player in my book would be safety Kevin Byard III, who is a free-agent-to-be when the new league year begins and is coming off a solid two-year run with Chicago’s football team. Perhaps a third year is on the horizon.
While speaking with reporters at Halas Hall, Kevin Byard said there is “mutual interest” between the two sides:
