After a potential momentum-turner coming out of the bye, they are right back into it — experiencing their first true short week with Miami just ahead on Thursday. First, let’s look into how this past Sunday went. Malaki Starks […]

Ahead of the trade deadline the Seattle Seahawks are reportedly set to add a speedy former third round wide receiver. Velus Jones was selected by the Chicago Bears in […]

The most anticipated player activation in the history of the Chicago Bears has finally happened. Earlier today, the home office of Windy City Gridiron received a fax from second-year defensive end Austin Booker that made his intentions crystal clear. Chills. Okay, it may not have happened like that, but the ongoing discourse in our comment […]

“We going up, up, up, it’s our moment…” Any father of a kindergarten-aged-or-older kid, especially a girl, knows what that means. (Then again, so do most people who don’t live under a rock.) But as the KPop Demon Hunters find out (spoilers if you haven’t seen it!), the path to that final triumphant moment is […]

If you’re fed up with the penalty problems plaguing your favorite football team right now, just know that you are not alone and that Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is right there with you. When discussing the penalty issues on ESPN 1000-AM, this is what the first-year head coach had to say: "We're here as coaches, we're gonna help support these guys & be along with them…but it would go a long way if we just had a little bit more ownership in that locker room to take the bull by...

The Steelers are evaluating new safety talent following DeShon Elliott’s injury against the Green Bay Packers. Pittsburgh will be working out veteran safeties Eddie Jackson and Vonn Bell today, head coach Mike Tomlin said in his press conference Tuesday. Jackson was a fourth-round pick in 2017 by the Chicago Bears. He was a first-team All-Pro […]

All of the good vibes Chicago has been riding have dried up. It happens quickly after a loss. This was a frustrating loss because it should have been a game the Bears were competitive in. If they are going to take the next step as an ascending team, there should be signs of growth. But […]

Staying up to watch 18 innings of World Series baseball was a mistake. And I’d do it again. I think this is just the beginning of us seeing a wave of comparisons between where Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is now and where Lions quarterback Jared Goff was at this time in Year 1 operating in Ben Johnson’s offense: Caleb Williams is near the point on the Jared Goff/Ben Johnson timeline when Goff's production went thru the roof. That isn't realistic for Williams right now based o...

1. It’s mind-boggling how unserious the NFL can be sometimes. Banning reporters from using All-22 film the NFL offers, that they pay for, to help make fans smarter about the game is simply ridiculous. If you’re that worried that people breaking down film publicly will give away trade secrets or that the film will be […]

Human beings are complicated and pretty much nobody is actually a pure hero or a complete villain. Well, Vlad the Impaler was most likely not the nicest guy on the planet. And Clay Travis is not very redeeming. When it comes to famous athletes, this truth is all the more inconvenient. Our sports heroes are […] The post Bears, Ravens Share History of Star Players with Off-Field Problems appeared first on The Sports Bank .

The Washington Commanders are playing on Monday Night Football for the second time in two weeks. They lost at home to the Chicago Bears in Week 6, and are now traveling to Missouri to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 8. The Commanders are on a two-game losing streak and fell to 3-4 after […]

The Chicago Bears let a winnable game slip away from them at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Much like the loss to the Minnesota Vikings in week one, this was a game that the Bears will almost surely look back upon at the end of the season with regret. Could have, […]

During the Chicago Bears’ four-game winning streak, they received pick-me-ups from all three phases, but yesterday against the Baltimore Ravens, they were let down by all three. I’ll even throw in the coaching, because the game plan on both sides of the ball had some issues. That said, the Bears were facing a Ravens team […]

Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson shared injury news updates during his Monday availability with the media at Halas Hall. Among the biggest injury news notes Johnson shared ( via The Athletic’s Kevin Fishbain ) is that rookie Shemar Turner suffered a season-ending ACL tear. Shemar Turner was one of three second-round selections the Bears made in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Texas A&M product was a tweener of sorts coming out of college because there was some position uncertainty surrounding...

Another rough injury to the Chicago Bears’ defense. This time, it is rookie defensive lineman Shemar Turner whose season is over with a torn ACL, per head coach Ben Johnson. Turner, one of the Bears’ three 2nd round picks in the 2025 NFL draft, was having a solid rookie year with 6 tackles and 2 […]

The moment Ravens pass rusher Mike Green exploded off the edge en route to sacking Bears quarterback Caleb Williams in the first quarter of Chicago’s 30-16 loss on Sunday, I immediately jotted it down as the moment that pushed me to start looking into left tackle prospects who will be eligible for the 2026 NFL Draft. But I let the rest of the game play out because I didn’t want to overreact. While there were moments when Theo Benedet was holding his own on the edge, Nicholas Moreano (Marq...

The four-game winning streak is over, and so is the good vibes tour — at least for a week. The Bears ran into a buzzsaw in Baltimore and dropped a 30-16 decision to the Ravens , and this week’s episode of the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast (presented by Obvious Shirts) is all about unpacking what it means, what matters, and what’s noise. We dig into Caleb Williams’ recent slump and ask the fair question: Is this just a rough patch for a young QB, or the first hint of real long-term concern...

Going into Sunday, the Chicago Bears had a chance to rid themselves once again of the demons that haunted them in 2024, breaking through a (4-2) start with an additional win to match their 2024 win total seven games into the season. Instead, the team will leave Baltimore with many more questions than answers after […]

Sloppy play continued to spoil the Chicago Bears’ efforts this week, this time too much to overcome. Let’s get to my notes. Offense: Defense: Special Teams: What about you? What were some of your top takeaways from the loss in Baltimore?

If you are still trying to piece together how that Week 8 Chicago Bears loss happened, just know that you are not alone. All Caleb Williams had to do was outperform Tyler Huntley and the Bears would’ve had a real shot at winning this game. And in the first quarter, he did. But then, the rest of the game happened. It should not sit well with anyone at Halas Hall that the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft was outplayed by a journeyman backup. Granted, Huntley is one of the league’s...
