Before the Chicago Bears defeated the New England Patriots last Thursday, 30-24, Albert Breer of SI.com polled 17 coaches and executives from around the NFL about whether they'd prefer to build their franchise around Caleb Williams or Drake Maye.
The Chicago Bears are making moves as they look to take the NFC North in 2026. Chicago is releasing cornerback Nick McCloud, per The 33rd team. McCloud appeared in just two games this season for the squad. McCloud is a journeyman player. The defensive back was in his second stint in Chicago. He has also […] The post Bears release veteran cornerback after 2nd stint with team appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Seattle Seahawks bolster their depleted receiver group by signing former “Hard Knocks” standout Montorie Foster Jr. and rookie Malick Meiga to the practice squad after injuries to Rashid Shaheed and Velus Jones Jr. Foster, who made the 53-man roster but was a healthy scratch for six games, returns after being waived for Anthony Bradford. Meiga, an undrafted Coastal Carolina product, re‑joins after a brief release. The moves come ahead of Monday night’s matchup with the Chicago Bears, who will focus on limiting Jaxon Smith‑Njigba.
Week 8 is setting up to be a massive one across the league, with a marquee of great matchups occurring.

The Patriots’ Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears sparks a detailed grade‑by‑grade film review. Quarterback Drake Maye earns an A‑, despite a costly interception, matching Chicago’s Caleb Williams in EPA per play (0.34). Veteran running back Rhamondre Stevenson shines with a career‑high 93 receiving yards and a 48‑yard TD, while the backfield collectively receives a C+. Wide receiver A.J. Brown, the top Patriots target, drops to a D grade after limited impact. Tight end Hunter Henry posts a solid B‑ as the team’s most‑used receiver, and the offensive line earns a C after strong pass protection but shaky run blocking. Defensive line notes are cut short.
The Philadelphia Eagles were among several teams, including the Packers and Bears, that reportedly showed interest in Indianapolis Colts All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson before the Colts traded him to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2027 third‑round and 2028 fifth‑round pick. While Eagles GM Howie Roseman has been shopping for a starting blocker, the team's 2‑5 record and impending 2026 trade deadline suggest they may be sellers rather than buyers. Nelson, 30, becomes a free agent after the season, making him a short‑term, high‑cost option the Eagles likely hesitate to pursue.
The Chicago Bears could clearly use help at the edge position and Maxx Crosby remains an elite source of production when it comes to wreaking havoc in the backfield
The Bears head into a Monday night showdown with defending champion Seattle after an 11‑day break following a gritty win over New England. Wide receivers are the hot stock: rookie Luther Burden III exploded for 140 yards and a TD – his first 100‑yard game – while Rome Odunze rebounded with four catches for 69 yards after a shaky start. In contrast, the secondary is tumbling: Jaylon Johnson continues to underperform, Devin Bush lacks the expected speed, and Cameron Lewis has surrendered 139 yards and two TDs in 12 targets. Defensive standout D’Marco Jackson logged six tackles, an interception and a pass breakup against the Patriots.
The Colts' trade of All‑Pro guard Quenton Nelson has sparked a new round of speculation ahead of the 2026 deadline, focusing on defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. Reported talks link Buckner to the Chicago Bears, who need interior depth behind aging Grady Jarrett; the San Francisco 49ers, who originally drafted him and could use him to replace injured linemen; the Green Bay Packers, looking for a short‑term boost after losing Javon Hargrave; the Houston Texans, eager to improve a struggling defense; and the Las Vegas Raiders, whose line has faltered this season. Buckner’s $26.6 million cap hit and proven pass‑rush ability make him a coveted upgrade for any contender.
With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, teams around the NFL are deciphering how exactly they want to build their roster. That includes the Chicago Bears, who at 5-2 are expected to be aggressive at the deadline. On the surface, it seems like the Bears are targeting any defensive stars available.

The Chicago Bears face the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football with a chance to overcome two frustrating historical trends under Ben Johnson.
The latest NFL Week 8 power rankings from Blogging The Boys show the Dallas Cowboys climbing to #20 after their Monday night victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite the Eagles’ struggles, the win nudges the Cowboys up from last week’s #24 spot. The rankings still favor the Buffalo Bills (#1) and San Francisco 49ers (#2), with the Detroit Lions surprising at #3. Notable moves include the Chicago Bears at #4, Jacksonville Jaguars #5, and a dip for the Kansas City Chiefs to #12. The list rounds out with the Los Angeles Chargers as the only winless team at #32.
The Bears surrendered three sacks to New England, exposing a pass‑protection problem against a blitz‑heavy Patriots defense. Caleb Williams faced a league‑leading 61.5% blitz rate (up from his season‑high 55.3%) yet posted a career‑high 205 yards and a touchdown on 12‑of‑20 throws. The article breaks down each sack—highlighting Leonard Taylor III’s hit on Williams, the role of guard Jonah Jackson’s lost leverage, and left tackle Ozzy Trapilo’s inability to contain edge rushers. Post‑game comments from Williams and coach Ben Johnson reveal miscommunication on a critical fourth‑quarter three‑and‑out that led to a 58‑yard field‑goal attempt. The analysis points to needed adjustments in edge protection and play‑calling.
With Cole Kmet no longer in the picture, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson teased using left tackle Ozzy Trapilo more in jumbo sets.
