THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears coach Ben Johnson won’t use short playoff prep week as an excuse The Packers didn’t play their starters Sunday but the Bears did. While coach Ben Johnson defended his decision after the game — “Some teams, they rest their starters [but] we don’t, we play football,” he said — the playoff schedule might […]
For three quarters, the Chicago Bears looked like a team sleepwalking towards the end of the season, while the Detroit Lions played with passion and urgency. Through three quarters, one team was playing to prove something to the NFL, while the other was playing like they were content to be there. And then the fourth […]
The Chicago Bears were hoping to end the 2025 regular season with some momentum, but following their loss to the Detroit Lions, they seemingly ended the season with more concerns than reasons to feel optimistic about the playoffs. The game was certainly a much closer affair than the 31 point loss the Bears suffered to […]
Scared, Bears fans? Don’t be. We’ve known it was coming. Somehow, some way. Even when the Chicago Bears couldn’t seal the deal against the Detroit Lions, the Eagles made sure fate didn’t cheat us of what we deserve. Bears vs. Packers. Round 3. Win or go home. We’ve seen that movie twice before in recent […]
Week 18 came and went, which means the NFL playoffs are right around the corner. Over the last four seasons, the final week of the season has meant one of two things for Chicago Bears’ fans. This year, things are finally different. The last few weeks have been hectic. The Bears both clinched a playoff […]
That was a frustrating game for the Chicago Bears and a frustrating close to their 2025 regular season. The Bears played uninspired football for three quarters, while the Detroit Lions played with an edge all afternoon. When Chicago finally woke up, they tied the game at 16, but they didn’t have enough to finish. The […]
Was it the offense? Or the defense? Coaching or players? Makes no difference; these Chicago Bears did not appear ready for playoff football against the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field, finishing the 2025 regular season with a 2-4 divisional record and losing the last two games, sputtering to a discouraging finish as the playoffs near. […]
The 2025 regular season is officially over for the Chicago Bears after a dreadful loss to the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field, finishing 11-6 on the season. Before we get into this week’s Windy City Honor awards, I think it’s worth noting how pleasantly surprising and exciting this season was. After going 5-12 last season, […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears lose to Lions, finish regular season 11-6 Of course, it had to end this way. In a season full of last-second finishes, the Bears logged one more Sunday at Soldier Field. Chicago Bears’ 2026 opponents are set. Here’s who they will play With the NFL regular season wrapping up Sunday, the […]
The NFL has announced the schedule for the first round of the playoffs, and just as they’ve done in previous years, Wildcard Weekend will extend to Monday Night Football. Only the two top seeds in each Conference, the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC and the Denver Broncos in the AFC, will receive a first-round bye. […]
The NFL’s Week 18 games are nearly over, and our partners at FanDuel Sportsbook have some early odds set for the Wildcard Weekend matchups. They currently have the Chicago Bears as a 1.5-point favorite over the Green Bay Packers, with the point total over/under at 47.5. That line has already moved, and it’ll likely flip-flop […]
The Chicago Bears made a valiant comeback in their game against the Detroit Lions, but for a second week in a row, that comeback attempt fell short. They lost 19 to 16 on a last-second Lions field goal. The loss dropped them to (11-6) on the season, but by virtue of the Washington Commanders’ 24 […]
With his 25-yard touchdown pass to Jahdae Walker against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, Chicago Bears’ second-year quarterback Caleb Williams has broken the franchise’s single-season passing yards record previously set by Erik Kramer’s 3,838 in 1995. Heading into Week 18, Williams already held the Bears’ single-season records for fourth-quarter comebacks and game-winning drives. Before Sunday, he ranked third […]
One of the most memorable regular seasons in Chicago Bears history comes to an end today when the Bears host the Detroit Lions. A Bears win gives Chicago the two seed, but a loss coupled with a win by the Philadelphia Eagles means the Eagles are two and the Bears drop to the three seed. […]
With the final 2025 NFL season standings official(ish), we now know which teams the Chicago Bears will play in 2026 and where those games will be held. Besides the home-and-away games against their division rivals, the league’s rotating schedule means the Bears will play the NFC South and the AFC East in 2026. Chicago’s first-place […]

Good afternoon, folks. The end of the regular season is upon us. The best part right now is we’re talking about a team solidly in the playoffs, only playing for positioning within the top four seeds as the NFC North division champions, and not a team that is playing for draft position or merely to […]
There’s something fitting about the fact that Tom Brady has spent so much time watching and talking to Caleb Williams this season as the second-year quarterback leads the Chicago Bears’ epic NFC North-winning turnaround. It’s not just because Williams has always idolized Brady, shooting for the stars and hoping to land in the same universe […]
Hello, Chicago Bears fans! Well, after the thrilling game against the Niners that, unfortunately, ended in disappointment, the 1st overall seed and bye in the first round of the NFL playoffs is off the table for the Beloved. However, there is still something to play for, as a win against the Detroit Lions (or an […]

Chicago Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham has been up for a general manager job a few times the last couple of years, but this offseason feels like it’ll finally happen for him. There may only be a few general manager jobs open, but Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer lists Cunningham first on his annual Future […]
