Bears edge rusher Dayo Odeyingbo suffered a torn Achilles in the team’s win over the Bengals on Sunday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport announced on Monday. As a result, he will miss the remainder of the 2025 regular season. Odeyingbo was one of the prized free agent acquisitions that Ryan Poles made this past offseason, as […]

The Chicago Bears won a thriller against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9, which makes it so much easier for us to tackle the Cairo Santos situation without rage-typing so hard that I need a new keyboard. Santos made two field goals and five extra points in a 47-42 Bears victory in which every point mattered. And I’m thankful that he had those points.
However, I can’t stop thinking about the two misses.
Only one of the misses counted for the record book because a Bengals offside pena...

Anyone else still struggling to catch their breath after the final two and a half minutes of Sunday’s game in Cincinnati? It was an up-and-down game that saw eight lead changes, and when it felt like the Chicago Bears had all but salted the game away with just over two minutes remaining, the Bengals scored […]

The Miami Dolphins are open for business ahead of the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline.
Tuesday’s 3 p.m. CT deadline for the NFL Trade Deadline is rapidly approaching, and the Dolphins are declaring they are open cut deals with teams. We’ll get to where the Chicago Bears fit into this momentarily, but first let’s share details of the deal new Dolphins Interim General Manager Champ Kelly (if that name sounds familiar to you, then I know that you are probably a long-time reader here) made with the P...

That was a fantastic and fun roller-coaster-of-emotions type of game, with so many lead changes and improbable moments. On Sunday afternoon, the Chicago Bears beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 47-42. That was Chicago’s most points scored since 2018, when they put up 48. This was also the first time the Bears had ever won a game […]

Please tell me you watched the Bears game yesterday. That was UNREAL . One of the wildest games in years, with the Bears blowing a huge lead late – in large part because of a brutally bogus call on a should-have-been-game-ending-pick-6 – and then somehow summoning the moxy to turn it right back around into a last-minute win.
The MLB offseason has officially arrived, and this is the slate of dates and deadlines if you missed it or want to brush up. The first wave of deadlines comes on Th...

The Chicago Bears fought for all 60 minutes, and in the end, they came out victorious against the Cincinnati Bengals, overcoming a huge Bengals’ fourth-quarter comeback. After this 47-42 win, the Bears’ advance to 5-3 on the season. This high-scoring game was equally exciting and messy, leaving fans on the tip of their toes. We […]

Have a day, Colston Loveland!
The Chicago Bears are back in the win column with their Week 9 triumph against the Cincinnati Bengals. And, naturally, that means the return of the behind-the-scenes look at what goes down in the winning locker room. Ben Johnson’s second road win as a first-year head coach was a memorable one. It wasn’t for the faint of heart. However, it is one we’ll be talking about for a while thanks to the heroics of rookies Colston Loveland and Kyle Monangai.

I’ve written and re-written this post in my head more times than I’d care to admit. But all is well that ends well with a Chicago Bears victory in Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was absurd, ridiculous, and unthinkable. There were unfathomable plays, irredeemable mistakes, and events that occurred that words cannot accurately describe. But I’ll do my best to put words together in a way that they make sense as I go about recapping this game.

It’s not hyperbolic to call that Chicago Bears 47 to 42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals one of the craziest games in Bears history. It was a back-and-forth contest with over a thousand combined yards of offense that fittingly came down to the final seconds. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams continues to show that clutch-gene that […]

In a game where defense was optional on both sides and no lead felt safe, it was Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland delivering the game-winning touchdown.
This is how the Bears won their Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals:

It was a barnburner from start to finish, but the Chicago Bears came away from Sunday with a 47-42 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, improving to 5-3 on the 2025 season. Both defenses failed to put together solid outings, while both offenses were tremendous in the showdown in Cincinnati. The Bears moved the ball consistently […]

Bengals coach Zac Taylor just went full John Fox — and the end result was a Bears touchdown.
Taylor threw a review flag hoping that Bears wideout DJ Moore fumbled the ball through the end zone. That would’ve given the Bengals the ball at the 20. At worse, I imagine the Cincy head coach thought it would be Bears ball at the 1-yard line as it was called on the field. Instead, this play goes down as a Chicago Bears touchdown:
After review, DJ Moore crosses the goal line for a 17-yard ru...

Colston Loveland isn’t the only Bears player who secured their first NFL touchdown on Sunday .
Running back Brittain Brown, who was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday because D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson were out with injuries, just did this to give Chicago’s football team a lead:

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland just scored his first NFL touchdown. And it gave his team a lead!
Just as I was pressing publish on Cole Kmet’s concussion injury update , fellow tight end Colston Loveland was securing his first NFL touchdown reception.

The Chicago Bears will be without tight end Cole Kmet for the rest of their Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Kmet went down after making a first-down catch during the first half and was evaluated for a concussion. And early in the third quarter, the Bears announced Kmet would not return:
