In this miniseries, we’ll look at several Chicago Bears who are making a solid case for the Pro Bowl. The Player: Kevin Byard III was a third-round pick by the Tennessee Titans in the 2016 NFL Draft. Born in Philadelphia, the 5’11” safety has played for three teams in his 10-year career, and he has […]
I needed a vibe change, so I rearranged my entire bedroom. And while the good news is that I like what I did, the bad news is that I created a mess in the process that I have to clean up. Whoopsiedoodle. But first, Thursday’s BN Bears Bullets… CHECK OUT THE BN BEARS PODCAST: Apple | Spotify | YouTube In discussing Ben Johnson’s Coach of the Year chances, Brad Biggs ( Tribune ) points out that the best coaches hardly ever win the thing. Andy Reid, Mike Tomlin, and Kyle Shanaha...
That was a statement game. A short week, on the road, down your entire linebacking corps. against the defending Superbowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, and the Chicago Bears breezed to a fairly convincing 25-14 victory in a game where they did not trail, and held the lead for over 45 game minutes after a 3-yard D’Andre […]
As I’ve mentioned previously, one of the stats I’ve been tracking this season is something I’ve been calling Explosive +/-. Basically, it’s looking at how many explosive plays you’re creating on offense vs. how many you’re giving up on defense. Per a study by Brian Billick, teams that have had a +2 Explosive +/- in […]
The latest Prisco’s Week 14 NFL picks: Packers beat Bears, Cowboys keep rolling | CBS Sports This is a playoff game for these two. Loser has major problems and likely won’t make it. The Texans are also playing consecutive road games. But that defense is impressive. Even so, give me the Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes to stay […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Packers QB Jordan Love heard Ben Johnson’s dig at his coach but doesn’t add fuel to rivalry – Chicago Sun-Times Packers coach Matt LaFleur was the subject of arrows from Johnson in his introductory press conference, when the new Bears coach said he enjoyed beating LaFleur twice a year. First-and-10: […]

The Bears and Packers first played each other in 1921, and the Packers hold the all-time edge […]
Jaylon Johnson has never been short on confidence, and it has been one of my favorite traits of his since arriving as a Chicago Bears draft pick in 2020. The two-time Pro Bowl cornerback has been fueled by being a second-round pick, was fearless when being targeted by top quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers, and was a vocal leader as a captain last season. There has always been some good energy surrounding Johnson. Hence, it is no surprise that he exudes confidence going into this week’s upcoming ...
As the Chicago Bears prepare for their 13th game of the season against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, the first official team injury reports for week 14 have been released. The Bears did not practice on Wednesday, so player participation listed on the injury report is an estimation. Altogether, four Bears were listed as […]
The Green Bay Packers opened their week of prep for Sunday’s matchup with the Chicago Bears looking as healthy as they’ve been in a long time — and of course, that lines up just in time for a critical battle with Chicago at Lambeau Field. Several Packers returned to practice on Wednesday, including three players designated for return from injured reserve. Running back MarShawn Lloyd, defensive end Brenton Cox, and defensive end Collin Oliver were all back after lengthy absences. Lloy...
After his week 13 performance, where he ran the ball 18 times for 125 yards and a TD (6.9ypc), Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift was awarded FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week. He shared the award this week with Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love. It seems like the greatest rivalry in […]
The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears took very different approaches to their Wednesday practice schedule. The Packers, off their mini-bye after playing the Detroit Lions, had a fully padded practice, which they are only allowed three of in the final six weeks of the NFL season per the collective bargaining agreement. Meanwhile, the Bears, […]
The Eagles are preparing for the Chargers on Monday night, but defensive coordinator Vic Fangio spoke to reporters on Wednesday, and answered a few more questions about the defense’s issues against the Bears last week. He explained that the run defense wasn’t good enough, why that will be a problem against Los Angeles, and also […]
It was an eventful Thanksgiving, as the Cowboys pulled out a gutsy win over the Chiefs that, at one point, felt like it was doomed for yet another last-second Mahomes victory. Then, a day later, Black Friday yielded a great half-off deal, with the Eagles’ offense collapsing yet again in a loss to the Bears. […]
There have been a lot of brilliant coaching performances in 2025. Mike Vrabel has transformed the Patriots into the AFC’s most-fearsome team, Ben Johnson is turning the Bears into a contender, and Shane Steichen has unlocked Daniel Jones on the Colts, to return them to prominence. As good as these performances have been, Kyle Shanahan […]
Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai was as good as it gets against the Eagles in Week 13. The seventh-rounder rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries (5.9 YPC). Monangai’s big afternoon marked his second 100-plus yard rushing performance this season, and brought his season totals to 591 yards and five touchdowns. As I wrote in Tuesday’s Good, Better, Best , Monangai’s surge in usage in the middle portion of the schedule has allowed him to stack up favorably with the re...
About two weeks ago, the NFL decided to flex the Green Bay Packers’ Week 14 matchup with the Chicago Bears from the early afternoon time slot into the late afternoon. The reason was simple: to get a critical NFC North matchup in front of more eyeballs. Now that TV broadcast maps are out, it’s clear […]
Playing in the Black Friday Game makes it feel like the Bears last stepped foot on a playing field forever ago. And with their Week 14 game being a 3:25 p.m. CT start, the wait will feel that much longer. I hope they make it worth it for us! Speaking of start times, the Bears-Packers Week 16 game now has a 7:20 p.m. CT kickoff. It will make the first night game at Soldier Field since 2019 between these long-time rivals. I imagine that when (if?) the new stadium gets built, we will get m...
The Philadelphia Eagles were credited with two sacks on Friday, but Caleb Williams nearly evaded one, and he was a few inches away from avoiding the second one. Even with the two sacks allowed, he and the Chicago Bears have done a phenomenal job in getting that aspect of his game under control. Last year, […]

Oh, baby! The Chicago Bears decided to give the Haters the middle finger on Black Friday and announce to the NFL world that they are for real. The Haters are still clinging to “Oh, well, the Eagles are collapsing! They still haven’t beaten anyone!” Beat the Packers, and they’ll blame the Tucker Kraft injury. It’ll […]
1. The Chicago Bears (9-3) and New England Patriots (11-2) are the two best teams in their respective conferences. Just like we figured before the season, right? Two teams led by second-year quarterbacks with new head coaches, at that. In the weirdest year of NFL football we’ve seen in a while, it’s perfect to see […]
One of my favorite things about the first year of following the Ben Johnson experience has been that he does not mince words. And when it comes to players, the Chicago Bears head coach is straight and to-the-point while not going overboard. It is a tough balance to strike, but one the first-year coach is handling well. However, his commentary about Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and the passing game raised some eyebrows: From Monday ( transcription via Pro Football Talk ): “We go...
