The Mac & Read Show: Bears get back in the Win Column!
The first place Chicago Bears control their own destiny (is a sentence I love to type), and this week they can clinch a playoff spot (another sweet collection of words), albeit they’d need a little help. But still, it’s mid-December, and the Bears are playing meaningful football! On our latest Mac & Read Show, Evan McLean and […]
Bears vs. Packers Injury Report: Odunze, Burden DNP
As the Chicago Bears prepare for their 15th game of the season against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, the first official team injury reports for week 16 have been released. The Bears had a walk-thru practice on Tuesday, so player participation listed on the injury report is an estimation. Four players were listed as […]
Caleb Williams Stat Tracker Week 15
I skipped this update last week. The Green Bay game wasn’t particularly great stats wise (186 yards, 2 TDs) but it’s one of those things that no one really likes to look at the stats after a tough loss anyway. After Sunday’s blowout win against the Browns, Caleb’s 242 yards puts him over 3,000 on […]
10 Thoughts on the NFL: Injuries suck, Bears back on top, and more from Week 15
1) I don’t care how tired people were of the Kansas City Chiefs’ dynasty or the Green Bay Packers being a thorn in the Chicago Bears’ side. No one wants to see Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons, two of the best players in the game, tear their ACLs on the same day. It’s terrible for […]
Stock up, stock down: Bears-Browns review
The Chicago Bears took care of business Sunday, by the way of smoking the Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field. It was the comfortable, dominant win fans have been hoping for all season. For it to come in a spot many had labeled a trap, and right in between the two meetings against the Green Bay […]
Week 16 WCG NFL Power Rankings and Each Team’s Most Deserving Pro Bowler
As we trend toward the start of January, the playoffs draw closer, and the weather grows colder. Week 15 became the first week of the season where teams could clinch playoff spots. On the other side of the coin, there have already been multiple groups eliminated from postseason contention. No matter the record, there’s one […]
The Bear’s Den, December 16, 2025
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears in prime position for playoff berth, but it’s delicate heading into final 3 games – Chicago Sun-Times The Bears are 10-4 and close against the Packers (9-4-1), 49ers (10-4) and Lions (8-6).

Caleb Williams TD Throw mirrors greatest throw in NFL history
We were all in shock as we watched it happen. It was impressive in real time; it was legendary by the time we saw the instant replay. Caleb Williams’ toss to DJ Moore in the back of the end zone on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns was a throw that defied logic. Let’s see what […]
Bear & Balanced: Bears Handle Business and Down the Browns
The Chicago Bears put last week’s loss in Green Bay behind them, focused on the job at hand, and beat the Cleveland Browns 31 to 3. Previous Bear teams may have fallen into the trap of looking ahead to the rematch with the Packers, but that’s not the culture head coach Ben Johnson has built […]
Bears vs. Browns Game Balls: The Ice Man Cometh
Despite concerns of a possible let down and trap game, the Chicago Bears had no problem vanquishing the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at frozen Soldier Field. The Bears’ margin of 31-3 felt even wider as the Bears defense completely stifled Shadeur Sanders and the Browns’ offense, forcing three turnovers in the process. The Bears’ offense […]
Why Caleb Williams deserves to go to the Pro Bowl
The Player: Caleb Williams was the #1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, taken by Chicago with the selection earned from the trade with the Carolina Panthers. The Case For Him: He currently leads the NFC in 4th-quarter comebacks and he just set the record for the fewest interceptions (12) of any quarterback in […]
Bears open window for Tremaine Edmunds to return
The Chicago Bears have had up-and-down luck with injury this season, but even with Kyler Gordon returning to IR, there’s some good news. The team announced on Monday that they were opening the 21-day window for two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Tremaine Edmunds to return to the team. Edmunds has four interceptions on the season in […]
Why Drew Dalman deserves to go to the Pro Bowl
The Player: Drew Dalman was a 4th-round pick out of Stanford by the Falcons. After four years in Atlanta, he signed a three-year deal as a free agent with Chicago. Some reports note that he took less money to play with Caleb Williams and to work with Ben Johnson. The Case For Him: Dalman was […]
10 Bears Takes After a Convincing Blowout Over the Browns
Facing a three-win Cleveland Browns team might not score many “style points,” but in the end, the Chicago Bears’ 31-3 blowout victory was more than enough to get them to 10 wins and keep them right in the mix for the NFC North crown. Although I’m not sure I would consider this a “complete” performance […]
Chicago Bears Week 15 Notes: Frozen Domination
It may have taken the first offensive drive to thaw out but from that point on, the Chicago Bears put together their most complete game of the season enroute to a 31-3 thumping of the Cleveland Browns at frozen Soldier Field.

The Chicago Bears knocked off the Cleveland Browns in a must-have game to maintain their spot in the NFC playoff picture, and they did it in dominating fashion, 31 to 3. The Bears never trailed, and while it was closer in the first half for some fans, this one was never really in doubt. The […]

THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears: We taught Browns QB Shedeur Sanders to ‘stay in a rookie’s place’ – Chicago Sun-Times Sanders’ 30.3 passer rating was the sixth-worst by any quarterback with at least 10 passes in game this season.

NFC Playoff Picture: Chicago Bears Back in First Place of the North

Chicago Bears vs. Cleveland Browns Open Thread
The Chicago Bears (9-4) host the Cleveland Browns (3-10) today from frigid Soldier Field, and there’s a lot on the line for the Bears. While they’re currently in the seventh seed in the NFC, there are only four games left in the season, so every game is magnified. They need a win to stay in […]
Bears vs Browns Inactives: Rome Odunze ruled out, Tyson Bagent sent home

WCG Sunday Livestream: NFL Week 15 – Chicago Bears vs Cleveland Browns
Good morning. So it turns out the Chicago Bears can be beaten after all. Sarcasm aside, we knew that game in Lambeau against the Green Bay Packers was going to be a very tough assignment, and the Bears did a solid job of asserting themselves in the second half as a team that just will […]
