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 […]

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: ...

With the 20-17 win over the Chicago Bears in the NFC Divisional Round, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay earned his 10th playoff win of his career. It moved him into a tie for 14th all-time with coaches like Bill Walsh and George Seifert. What’s unique about McVay’s playoff record is that all 10 […]

Dominique Robinson made the most of his playing time in the Bears’ NFC Divisional Round appearance. Robinson, a Day 3 pick from Ryan Poles’ first draft class as Bears general manager, earned a team-best 91.4 grade from Pro Football Focus for his efforts in Chicago’s second-round playoff loss against the Los Angeles Rams on its initial breakdown of the game.

The Kansas City Chiefs are reuniting with former offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy after a disappointing 2025 season that resulted in a major shakeup in the coaching staff. Bieniemy’s 2025 season was the opposite: he was hired to coach the running backs for the Chicago Bears and first-year head coach Ben Johnson, who was the hottest […]

One of the underrated aspects of the Los Angeles Rams’ divisional round playoff win over the Chicago Bears was how they adjusted at corner and forced three interceptions on Caleb Williams. Corner has been the Achilles heel of the Rams team for the 2025 season. Bigger receivers—AJ Brown, Michael Wilson, and others—have abused this secondary […]

Day 2 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I woke up, saw it was 6 degrees outside, and questioned the life decisions that led me to this point.

The Detroit Lions are bringing in a new offensive coordinator for the 2026 NFL season. And the name might be familiar to some Chicago Bears fans.
