The Panthers didn’t do the Bears any favors this afternoon. Carolina fell to Seattle, eliminating the cleanest path for Chicago to take control of the NFC’s top seed on Sunday night. But while the door didn’t swing open, it’s not closed, either — the Bears still very much have a route to the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
Here’s where things stand:
The Bears (11-4) are guaranteed to finish as either the 1, 2, or 3 seed in the NFC. They entered the day sitting at No. 2 behind the Seahawks (12...
Are we about to get a Chicago Bears Flu Game?
The team is getting some good news on the health front. Brad Biggs shares the latest:
#Bears RT Darnell Wright is en route to Santa Clara. He did not travel with the team Saturday because of an illness. Wright is questionable and his availability will be a game-time decision. He's had a Pro Bowl-caliber season and this is potentially good news. — Brad Biggs (@BradBiggs) December 28, 2025

The NFC North banner is already hanging — at least figuratively — after the Bears clinched the division Saturday night thanks to Baltimore’s win over Green Bay. But the most meaningful stakes of the season are still ahead. With a win over the San Francisco 49ers tonight and a Panthers upset of the Seahawks this afternoon, Chicago would wake up Monday holding the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
And on the eve of the biggest December game the franchise has played in years, the Bears may be catching ...
Hello, Chicago Bears fans! After the Lions’ loss to the Vikings and the Packers’ loss to the Ravens, the Chicago Bears are officially Kings of the North! With the division in hand, the Bears will face off against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday with playoff seeding in the balance. It is still possible for […]
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported early on Sunday morning that San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is “highly unlikely” to play tonight against the Chicago Bears. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Kittle will give it a go pre-game to see if he can play. Ricky Pearsall, who is also listed as questionable, is “likely to […]
The San Francisco 49ers have another big primetime game in Week 17, facing the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football as they look to continue their push for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

To follow up the intro from Saturday’s BN Bears Bullets lead-in: My first pho experience was great. Tremendous. I’m sure I’ll like it more once I get the hang of using chop sticks.
In case you missed it: The Chicago Bears are the 2025 NFC North champs ! And in doing so, they became the 20th team to put up a one-year worst-to-first turnaround in the last 23 years. Because I’m sure you’re curious, the Bears have done it three times (2005, 2018, 2025).
More history: Did you know t...
Tonight’s Sunday Night Football matchup is a massive one! The Bears are battling for a shot at the top seed in the NFC after clinching the NFC North, and the 49ers still have playoff seeding at stake as well prior to today’s slate kicking off.
Who will come out on top in Santa Clara?
Let’s take a look at some odds, props, and more for tonight’s game.
Dec 7, 2025; Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA; Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (18) warms up before the game against the Gr...
It wasn’t just what Ryan Poles said in his opening presser as Chicago Bears general manager, but the moment immediately following his last word that stuck with me: “We’re going to take the North and never give it back,” he said, followed by a flipping of the page as he continued his remarks. In reality, […]
DA BEARS ARE THE NFC NORTH CHAMPIONS . That’s not the end goal in a season that has become as compelling as this one, but it’s absolutely something you want to achieve when the year starts. And something very few would’ve predicted back in September. So I’m gonna smile about it. (Now go get that number one seed …. )
We’ll have more analysis on the Hunter Harvey signing , because, like I said, I love the potential upside there. Here, though, I wanted to talk about the various implication...

The San Francisco 49ers look to continue their push for the No. 1 seed in the NFC on Sunday night with their most unique challenge of the season against the Chicago Bears. The 49ers are coming off a rousing 48-27 Monday night victory against the Indianapolis Colts and look to continue that momentum into their […]
Sitting with an 11-4 record heading into Week 17, the Bears have had the greatest turnaround in the NFC and one of the greatest in the NFL compared to last season. It’s no surprise, then, that members of their coaching staff could be high in demand for promotions when the year ends. In a Saturday […]
The San Francisco 49ers return to the friendly confines of Levi’s Stadium to host the Chicago Bears. Both teams are battling for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, despite their current seedings. These are two of the hottest teams in the NFL. There have been two combined losses since the beginning of November. Week […]
Save for one extremely shaky Brock Purdy performance in a game in which they still prevailed, the 49ers have excelled on the primetime stage. Sunday’s meeting with the Chicago Bears is a different animal, however, as it holds the highest stakes of any game they have played so far this campaign. If the 49ers prevail […]
In a game the Green Bay Packers want to forget, their biggest weakness was exposed in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens that ended their hopes of an NFC North title. A 41-24 loss to the Ravens officially gave the Chicago Bears their first divisional title, but it also gave the rest of the NFC […]
For the first time in seven years, the Chicago Bears are the NFC North champions. The Bears clinched first place in the division after the Packers’ 41-24 loss to the Ravens on Saturday night. Heading into their Week 17 matchup against the 49ers, Chicago has a 2.5-game lead for first place in the NFC North. […]
Two very good football teams meet up on Sunday Night Football as the (11-4) Chicago Bears travel West to play the (11-4) San Francisco 49ers. Last season, these two teams combined for 11 wins and were each last in their respective divisions. The Bears are looking for their third straight win, while the ‘Niners are […]
There is some good news and some bad news regarding the latest updates to the Chicago Bears injury report ahead of the team’s game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football.
The bad news is that starting right tackle Darnell Wright is a late addition to the injury report and is listed as questionable to play on Sunday because of an illness. Five other Bears players dealt with an illness this week that limited their practice participation. One player, Nick McCloud, did not p...
The San Francisco 49ers are inching closer towards the playoffs, having already clinched a postseason berth with two weeks to go. Next up on the docket is the Chicago Bears at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday Night Football. A win would set up a potential Week 18 matchup for the NFC West division title and the […]
I’m excited to try pho for the first time ever tonight. But first, I’ve gotta get through this set of Bears Bullets in one piece.
Before the 2025 NFL Trade Deadline, Raiders star pass rusher Maxx Crosby made it clear (via NFL on FOX insider Jay Glazer) that he didn’t want to leave Las Vegas. He was just months removed from signing a noteworthy extension and was a clear building block for a team that didn’t have much else going for it. Fast forward to December and we have Jay Glazer hint...
The San Francisco 49ers have a crucial game this weekend, facing the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football at Levi’s Stadium as they look to continue their push for the No. 1 seed in the NFC. San Francisco had a nice 49-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Monday, getting the victory without a couple […]
The Cleveland Browns do not have the longest NFL playoff drought, not by a long shot, but fans are frustrated with the direction of the team. The discussion around Browns fans has been about how to build a winner, starting with the 2026 NFL draft. The desperate need for top-level players, especially at the quarterback […]
Note 1: I apologize for how late this is releasing, with the holiday and losing about 2 days of the week to travel I have not had much free time during the week to do this, we will be back to a regular schedule next week! Note 2: Much like week 12, Play reviews for this […]
The Green Bay Packers ended up losing 22-16 in overtime to the Chicago Bears in week 16, primarily because the offense could not produce a single touchdown inside the red zone. They finished the game 0-for-5 on red zone scoring opportunities as they had to settle for three field goals, two of which came on […]
