The Bear’s Den, February 9, 2025
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears to promote Press Taylor to offensive coordinator to replace Declan Doyle: source Ben knows what he’s doing. I hope. ‘You either do or you don’t’: Bears WR Rome Odunze is his own harshest critic despite improvement Sounds like he’s going to concentrate on his catching technique. We all approve. […]
Super Bowl 2027 Odds: Chicago Bears the 7th best in the NFC
A year ago at this time, the odds for the Chicago Bears to win the Super Bowl were +4000, and they stayed at that number all offseason. This year, following Chicago’s (11-6) NFC North-winning campaign and an offseason already brimming with hope and anticipation, our partners at FanDuel Sportsbook have the Bears at +2700. Overall, […]
Super Bowl TV Schedule, Live Game Message Board, and Fan Discussion
The 106th NFL season concludes tonight with Super Bowl LX, with the New England Patriots facing the Seattle Seahawks, and this will be your place to discuss the game all night. In case you missed it, the Seahawks elevated running back and former Chicago Bears draft pick, Velus Jones Jr., from their practice squad, so […]
The Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl Window is Open
No one was expecting year one of the Ben Johnson era to end in a Super Bowl for the Chicago Bears, but the 2025 season went better than most fans could have expected. But even so, it felt like it ended too soon. The loss in the NFC Divisional Round against the Los Angeles Rams […]
Drake Maye and Caleb Williams both won 2025–in their own way
I’m well aware of the fact that, in sports, there is almost always a winner and a loser. (Heard that in Ace Ventura’s voice.) But as someone who considers themselves a big fan of both Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and New England Patriots signal-caller Drake Maye, I’m not feeling like picking sides anymore. Seriously. […]
Bears Elevate Pass Game Coordinator Press Taylor to Offensive Coordinator
The Chicago Bears have their newest offensive coordinator under head coach Ben Johnson, and he’s a familiar face for the organization. The team has reportedly elevated Press Taylor, the team’s passing game coordinator, to the post after Declan Doyle’s departure to serve in the same role with the Baltimore Ravens, according to NFL Media’s Ian […]
Chicago Bears Top Ten Playoff Wins of Super Bowl Era: 1. 46-10
We’ve reached number one, and there’s no question what this game was going to be. In fact, the title of the article is just the score, and the score is enough for every Bears fan to know exactly what game it was. What went into ranking these games? I think what team they beat matters. […]
Which Super Bowl player would help the Chicago Bears the most?
The Super Bowl is tomorrow, and the eyes of the NFL world are on the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks, so our Chicago Bears question of the day has that LX slant. If you could have any player from the Seahawks or Patriots join the Bears in 2026, who would you want? You’re […]
Revisiting the Bears 2025 Draft: Second Round Pick 39
We all know it takes more than a single season to accurately assess the success of any draft class. Our own Josh Sunderbruch does a phenomenal job of explaining why this is and looking back at a more reasonable benchmark. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take a moment to look back and see how […]
Super Bowl predictions 2026: Bears fans pick Seahawks vs. Patriots winner
Chicago Bears fans have spoken! Like most NFL fans, we believe the Seattle Seahawks will win the Super Bowl over the New England Patriots, although a higher percentage of us (92%) have the ‘Hawks winning than the national results (82%). In fact, every fanbase but one has a majority of their fans picking the Seahawks, […]
2026 Bears draft: 5 dream prospects to fall to No. 25
With the No. 25 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the chances the Bears acquire a blue-chip prospect are pretty slim. That’s not at all to say that they can’t end up with a blue-chip player with that pick. Rather, we’re talking about an extremely highly-touted prospect heading into the draft. There’s a difference between […]
Chicago Bears Top Ten Playoff Wins of Super Bowl Era: 2. Bears send Green Bay Packing
There are just two games left for us to discuss in our top ten Chicago Bears playoff victories of the Super Bowl era. We can try to build the suspense for number one, but I’m pretty sure every Bears fan over the age of 6 knows what game would be first on the list. But […]
2025 Season In Review: Grading Out The First-Year Head Coaches
With the regular season over and the Super Bowl just days away, the 2026 NFL head coaching cycle is wrapping up. While we are still a calendar year away from evaluating that group, we can turn our attention back to the 2025 group. Although this offseason has seen 10 openings, last year saw three fewer. […]

Well, here it is, we’ve reached the top 3 on our list of the 10 greatest Chicago Bears playoff victories of the Super Bowl era. So far, our list has included overtime, it’s included some elite individual performances, and we’ve seen some crazy weather. In the last three places, we are going to look at […]
Why Ben Johnson’s Coach of the Year snub is great for the Bears
The NFL doesn’t know it yet, but it may have just already crowned the Chicago Bears next year’s Super Bowl champions. Because the only possible thing that disrespecting head coach Ben Johnson will accomplish is turning him into an even more maniacal supervillian than he already is. As a guy who lives in Boston and […]
Chicago Bears Question of the Day: What’s your bold offseason prediction?
Despite the Super Bowl on Sunday, it feels like the Chicago Bears are amidst one of the two major news cycle lulls in the offseason. The NFL combine is still 3 weeks away, free agency doesn’t start until March 11th, and the NFL draft is still 2.5 months into the future — so there is […]
Chicago Bears Top Ten Playoff Wins of Super Bowl Era: 4. Bears Dent Washington
Number 4 on our list is a game rarely discussed. You could say this game has gotten lost in Bears history. But this is a significant win that announced to the country that the Monsters of the Midway were back. What went into ranking these games? I think what team they beat matters. I think […]
The Bear’s Den, February 6, 2025
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL Ken’s Note: Yesterday I posted a Bad Bunny video, but I have to admit BB is not really my cup of tea when it comes to musicians from a Spanish speaking cultural background. I’m not hating here, BB is loved by millions. The Warning, however, is my kind of music. Three […]
Caleb Williams to DJ Moore is the Next Gen Stats Moment of the Year
The remarkable Caleb Williams to DJ Moore touchdown pass to beat the Green Bay Packers took home the Next Gen Stats Moment of the Year Award at this season’s NFL Honors. Not gonna lie, I don’t know the full criteria for his award, although with Next Gen Stats involved, I’m guessing it has something to […]
Bears LG Joe Thuney wins inaugural Protector of the Year award
Chicago Bears left guard Joe Thuney has won the inaugural NFL Protector of the Year award. Thuney, 33, adds the prestigious award to his tremendous 2025 campaign. He was a first-team All-Pro and a Pro Bowler in his first season with the Bears, and now, he’ll go down in history as the first offensive lineman […]
Chicago Bears re-sign Theo Benedet
On Thursday, the Chicago Bears re-signed offensive lineman Theo Benedet to a one-year, $1 million deal. The Athletic’s Kevin Fishbain was the first to report. Benedet, an exclusive-rights free agent, was originally an undrafted free agent by the Bears in 2024 after playing at the University of British Columbia. He was also a second-round pick […]
2025 Season In Review: Grading Out The NFC North
One year after entering the playoffs as the best division in football, the NFC North simultaneously took a step back and also wrote its place in history during the 2025 season. Despite only sending two teams to the playoffs and only one with 10-plus wins, all four teams finished above .500, which is almost unheard […]

We’ve reached the top 5 in our top ten Chicago Bears playoff victories of the Super Bowl era. Some of the games in the top 5 are predictable, but some may not be ones fans would expect to find this high. What went into ranking these games? I think what team they beat matters. I […]
The Bears Draft: How Good Gets Better
Year one of the Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson pairing is in the books, and it was arguably better than anyone realistically thought it could be. The Chicago Bears won the NFC North title with 11 regular-season wins, earned a Wild Card victory over the Green Bay Packers, and quarterback Caleb Williams was one of […]
