The referee for the Green Bay Packers’ matchup against the Denver Broncos will be Brad Rogers, who holds an interesting designation going into this week. No referee in the NFL throws more flags on the away team, which in this case would be the Packers, relative to the home team than Rogers’ crew. Right now, […]
The Chicago Bears lost to the Green Bay Packers… again. The feelings coming off the loss on Sunday were tough, no doubt about it. When Caleb Williams’ pass floated into the hands of Keisean Nixon and ended the Bears’ final drive, there’s no other way to slice it, it was deflating. The Bears kept finding […]
Every game from here on out is a must-win for the Chicago Bears, and it feels good to be watching our favorite team play meaningful football in December. On our latest Mac & Read Show, Evan McLean and Ross Read discuss the Bears’ narrow loss to the Green Bay Packers, Caleb Williams’ growth this season, and […]
This week’s Green Bay Packers depth chart update is going to be a little longer than usual, because we’ll be covering what happened in both Week 13 and Week 14. Because of that, I split this up into offense and defense (for this week only), so keep an eye out for the companion piece out […]
Caleb Williams’ performance against the Packers ended on an interception, a play Williams admitted on Sunday evening he needed to deliver a better ball on to tight end Cole Kmet.
Personally, I think he needed to be a tick earlier on the release, and the ball itself would have been fine, but we’re splitting hairs at this point. The fact that we can even have a conversation about that end zone interception in the closing seconds is because Williams drove the Bears down to that spot on the f...
1. I must admit, I’m a little shocked at how much everyone is praising the Chicago Bears for losing so competitively to the Green Bay Packers. Of course, I agree the Bears played well, especially in the second half. But eventually, we have to get to a point where we expect the Bears to win […]
The Bears’ loss to the Packers shook up the NFC a bit. With Chicago falling to No. 7, Green Bay moves to into the No. 2 spot. Meanwhile, the Rams take over the top spot again. Over in the AFC, the Broncos used the Patriots being on their bye to move ahead of New England. Elsewhere, the Colts’ freefall and Chiefs’ collapse continue.
That, and more, in this week’s NFL playoff picture check-in.

The Bears’ five-game winning streak came to an end on Sunday with their 28-21 loss to the Packers. Though Chicago stills sit at 9-4, they are no longer in first place of the NFC North and find themselves a game away from being on the outside looking in on the playoff race. That goes to […]
Thanks to Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson, we can finally put to rest the “DJ Moore was open!” angle when discussing the final offensive play of the Chicago Bears’ Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers
Let’s allow the Bears coach to take us through it ( via The Athletic ):
“I didn’t see him as being the answer in that time. I think he came open more after the ball was released from Caleb. Nixon was man-to-man with DJ and was trailing him and ended up falling off and making a play on C...
Another loss to the Green Bay Packers for the Chicago Bears, but it didn’t feel like a typical loss. Chicago lost by a touchdown on the second-to-last play of the game. Somehow though, it wasn’t a gut-wrenching, nut punch of a loss like so many that came before. Is it because the Bears get a […]
I’m running out of superlatives for Christian Watson. A little more than two weeks ago, I wrote about Watson’s resurgence after his torn ACL. Since then, he’s gone ahead and gotten even better, hauling in eight catches for 169 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games. Week over week he continues to improve […]
14 weeks of the NFL season have passed, and some former Scarlet Knights have had major impacts for their team in recent weeks. Kyle Monangai has proved himself to be a steady, every-down back, while Bo Melton’s breakout performance helped lift Green Bay to victory in their recent matchup against Monangai’s Bears. RB Kyle Monangai […]
Back in Week 11, I wrote about Christian Watson’s two-touchdown game against the New York Giants. The Green Bay Packers wide receiver followed that up with a 5-catch, 49-yard game against the Vikings and a 4-catch, 80-yard, 1-TD game against the Lions on Thanksgiving. With Watson fully integrated into the offense after returning from his […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears’ Ben Johnson downplays Packers handshake, but the NFL world will be watching the next one in 2 weeks – Chicago Sun-Times The oh-so-brief exchange was caught on TV after the Packers’ 28-21 win Sunday. It was notable given LaFleur’s annoyance at Johnson’s remark during his introductory news conference that […]
The Los Angeles Rams lost the top spot in the NFC last week, but they regained it in Week 14 with the Chicago Bears losing. The Rams are once again the top team in the NFC thanks to their tiebreaker win over the Seattle Seahawks. The Green Bay Packers are the new second-place team after […]
The Green Bay Packers are back where they should be atop the NFC North after their win over the Chicago Bears. they sit second in the NFC. The Los Angeles Rams remain in first place after their win, moving to 10-3. The Seattle Seahawks tied them but they are in the same division and the […]
A split with the Green Bay Packers always seemed likely heading into the 2025 season, so the good news for the Chicago Bears is that it’s still a plausible outcome despite the team’s loss on Sunday in Green Bay. Heck, the Bears might still have a chance to emerge 2-1 against Green Bay this year. […]
Following the loss of defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt, who had previously started for the Green Bay Packers in the under tackle position, the Packers signed two defensive tackles last week: Jordon Riley and Quinton Bohanna. Both Riley, poached from the New York Giants’ practice squad, and Bohanna, claimed on waivers via the Seattle Seahawks, are […]
To make room for the addition of receiver Jayden Reed from the injured reserve, the Green Bay Packers waived receiver Malik Heath, who had been with the team for three years, last week. The Packers likely wanted Heath to return to the team on the practice squad, considering his experience with the squad, but that […]
Don’t get me wrong, I’d have liked to beat the Green Bay Packers. Would have loved nothing more than to depart Lambeau last night chanting “Green Bay sucks” with my buddies. But the Bears came up just a play or two short. However, and I don’t really care if this sounds like loser talk, the feeling I had leaving the stadium yesterday and the one I have today is one of optimism.
The Bears lost. But for the second straight game, they went on the road against a legitimate Super Bowl contender...
The Bears fall 28-21 in Green Bay, and the crew has plenty to say about it on the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast, presented by Obvious Shirts .

The San Francisco 49ers had a bye week this week, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t action in the NFC playoff standings. The 49ers moved up one spot to No. 6 after the Chicago Bears dropped from No. 1 to No. 7 due to their loss to the Green Bay Packers. They’re still third in […]
The NFL is the ultimate week-to-week league. Things change in an instant. For the San Francisco 49ers, the bye week was kind as the team moved into the sixth seed with the Bears’ loss to the Packers. Possible reinforcements are on the way for the 49ers (no, not Brandon Aiyuk), and the team is in […]
The audible groan I let out when Caleb Williams’ final pass landed in the hands of Keisean Nixon (and not Bears tight end Cole Kmet) could have been heard from here to Green Bay. The Chicago Bears quarterback had played so well in the second half. Williams was playing with conviction, making quick reads and good decisions. He also displayed some stellar arm strength. And for a moment late in the fourth quarter, it looked like QB1 was going to author a new chapter in the historic Bears-Packers ...
