Bear & Balanced: Bears Backups Step Up to Beat the Steelers

The Chicago Bears caught a break when Aaron Rodgers’ left wrist prevented him from suiting up for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But the Steelers caught a break when Chicago’s Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon remained on injured reserve after practicing in full on Friday. The Steelers also benefited from the Bears’ injuries to starters Theo Benedet, […]

Did the Colts lay half an egg?

I’m not willing to accuse the Colts of laying an egg this week. We just experienced what the rest of the league has felt for the last six or seven years, in that it is an extremely low odds proposition to go into Arrowhead and beat that team in a win or go home game. […]

Being on top is a fleeting moment, as the Los Angeles Rams can attest to: This is the first time that the Rams have truly been on top since they won the Super Bowl four years ago. The Rams not only rank first in DVOA, which is Defense-adjusted Value Over Average (think of it as […]

Cowboys doing the one thing they can to save season

There’s been plenty of debate around here about how the Dallas Cowboys should approach the remainder of their 2025 season. That’s only normal when you go into a Week 10 bye with a losing record. But now back at .500 after two post-bye wins, and especially given Sunday’s shocker over the Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas’ sudden […]

Bears vs. Steelers Game Balls: The Defense Steps Up

The Chicago Bears earned another victory on Sunday, bringing their win total to eight for the first time since 2020. This time, it was a 31-28 victory at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

When the New England Patriots boarded their flight from Providence to Cincinnati on Saturday, linebacker Jahlani Tavai was not with the rest of the team. While healthy, he was ruled out of the game for what was announced as personal reasons by the club. The exact nature of Tavai’s absence is not known, and something […]

Four Down Territory: Seahawks beat Titans, play like a 5-seed

Coming off a frustrating defeat last week against the Los Angeles Rams, the Seattle Seahawks took a trip back east and took care of business in a 30-24 victory over hapless Tennessee Titans. While the score doesn’t exactly tell the whole story of the game, it was a more competitive game than most fans would […]

Let’s Hear It For the Chicago Bears Rookies!

If I could split a game ball among the Chicago Bears rookies, I’d do it without thinking twice. There were plenty of contributors in the Bears’ 31-28 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12, which makes it hard to choose who should get a game ball. But with that being said, making Bears rookies share a game ball is something that feels sensible, logical, and fitting. Practical? Not so much. However, with several first-year players making strong cases for a game ball, I’m down to be...

Because of that, both teams’ first injury reports of the week are only estimations. Still, there’s some information to take from the self-reporting. Packers’ Non-Participants Had Green […]
