As a lifelong Bears fan who has been on the wrong side of this divisional rivalry for most of my life, I have never had a problem admitting that the Packers were the better team. They had better coaches than the Bears and, for the last three to four decades, two of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. I’ve said countless times that I believe Aaron Rodgers is the greatest pure passer of all time, and that Brett Favre was the last true gunslinger of a dying NFL era. I’ve even argued that if the Packers had a better coach than Mike McCarthy, Aaron Rodgers could have won three Super Bowls.

But times are changing.

Caleb Williams is, without a doubt in my mind, the real deal. Kurt Warner recently said in an interview that to be a good quarterback in the NFL, you have to be either incredibly efficient or incredibly explosive—but great quarterbacks are both. This season, Caleb was one of the most explosive quarterbacks in the NFL while learning one of the most complex offenses in the league.

For just the third time in their storied rivalry, Chicago and Green Bay meet in the postseason with the season hanging in the balance. This is the NFL’s greatest rivalry, and when it matters most for both teams, it becomes something else entirely  intense, ruthless, and unforgettable.

This is Bears vs. Packers!

This is playoff football!

This is your Playoff Preview. 🐻⬇️

The Bears enter Week 17 riding momentum and tightening their grip on the NFC North after a dramatic home victory over their hated rivals, the Green Bay Packers. That win not only energized the fan base at Soldier Field, but also reinforced Chicago’s growing identity as a tough, resilient team built for meaningful January football. Now, the challenge shifts west. Chicago travels to Santa Clara this week to face the San Francisco 49ers. This is your week 17 preview:

It’s Packers Week, and the balance of power in the NFC North is on the line. The Bears and Packers meet for the 211th time in one of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries. In their most recent matchup, Green Bay edged Chicago 28–21 at Lambeau Field just two weeks ago.

The Chicago Bears return home looking to rebound after a tough loss in Green Bay last week. Waiting for them on the lakefront: The Cleveland Browns. This is your week 15 preview. 🐻⬇️

It’s Packers Week and the stakes couldn’t be higher. It’s a heavyweight showdown. The Bears march into Lambeau as the NFC’s top dog and rulers of the North. This is your week 14 preview.

The Chicago Bears head to the City of Brotherly Love for a Black Friday tilt against NFC East leading PhiladelphiaEagles, and they’re bringing some serious momentum on the road with them. Chicago has now won eight of their last nine games, and if you're watching, yes, a defibrillator is required weekly! This is an elite NFC matchup and your week 13 preview. 

The Chicago Bears head to Minnesota for a huge divisional matchup against the Vikings! The Bears are carrying some momentum north after a couple of come-from-behind wins, and Caleb Williams is starting to come into his own.

Can the Bears keep it rolling and steal a big divisional win on the road? This is your week 11 preview.

Both the Chicago Bears and Cincinnati Bengals are looking to bounce back after tough losses as they meet in Week 9 at Paycor Stadium. Each team enters the matchup searching for consistency in a season that has already seen its share of ups and downs. This is your week 9 preview.

After starting the season 0-2, the Bears have bounced back impressively with four consecutive victories. Meanwhile, the Ravens are struggling through a tough stretch, dropping four straight games and managing only 13 total points over their last two outings. However, there's a glimmer of hope for Baltimore, as star quarterback Lamar Jackson could return to the lineup this week. (Still iffy) This is your week 8 preview.

Week 7 has arrived, and the Chicago Bears are riding a three-game win streak as they return to Soldier Field for the first time in nearly a month. After a bye and back-to-back road wins, they’re finally home, and waiting for them are the New Orleans Saints, fresh off their flight from the Bayou and ready for battle on the lakefront.

The Chicago Bears enter Week 4 riding the momentum of their first win of the season, a dominant 31-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. It was a complete team performance across all phases, a much-needed bounce-back after their embarrassing showing against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. Head coach Ben Johnson’s squad looked sharper, more disciplined, and finally delivered on the promise that had eluded them early in the season.

The Dallas Cowboys come into Soldier Field at 1-1. The Chicago Bears? 0-2 and licking their wounds after a humiliating blowout loss to Detroit.

This isn’t just another Sunday on the schedule, this is a moment of truth. It’s time for this Bears team to rise up, respond, and show any signs of life.

It’s gut check time on the Lakefront

This Week 2 matchup carries plenty of intrigue, especially given the recent history between these two NFC North rivals. All time series Bears lead 105-80-5

The Bears are 4-6 in their last 10 vs Detroit.

The Chicago Bears kick off the 2025 NFL season under the Monday Night Football lights with a fresh identity — and perhaps, finally, real hope.

Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick from last year's draft, enters his second NFL season with a rebuilt offensive line, an arsenal of weapons, and a legitimate offensive architect in new head coach Ben Johnson. Expectations are high, and the Bears appear ready to deliver.

For over 100 years, the Bears have mostly been reactive, not proactive, lacked QB vision and offensive innovation, chased old-school toughness instead of modern football smarts.

This guy in the building is a lot different than anyone that’s ever even stepped foot in Lake Forest in over 100 years.

As “Who’s Line” host, Drew Carey used to say, “where the rules are made up and the points don’t matter”.  A story without an ending. Literally. The Bears hosted the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon for their first preseason contest of 2025 and under new Head Coach Ben Johnson.  In an aggressive all or nothing finale orchestrated by both Ben Johnson and Dolphins head coach, Mike McDaniel, neither team managed to score, both opting not to attempt a field goal on their their final few possessions. Resulting in a tie, 24-24. After watching Jacksonville Jaguars kicker, Cam Little split the upright on a 70 yard field goal attempt on Saturday night, Ben Johnson elected not to attempt a 56 yard field gaol to take the lead with less than 2 minutes left in the game. I must admit, the overly persistent “go for it” approach, prompted a lazy and manipulated memory based comparison to Johnson’s former mentor, and Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell. It is just and only the preseason, however, the Bears had a few opportunities late in the game to test their young undrafted free agent kicker Jonathan Kim. “NO OVERTIME?” You ask? There is of course another reason that the game resulted in a tie. Nobody cares. Nobody cares enough to see the rest of the story written. Not even the players….especially not the players. Admit it or not, an NFL preseason game, is the only game, in which the parts matter more than the sum. The performance of the individual, provides a lot more implication, than the result of the entire unit. Especially considering the Dolphins decided to play both of their starting units on offense and defense on the first drive of the game, where Ben and company did not.

The first preseason game rarely offers a full picture of what a team will become in Week 1. It's a time for players to get their legs under them, shake off the rust, and start playing competitive football again—albeit in a very "vanilla" version of the playbook. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t plenty to learn, especially from young players trying to earn a spot on the 53-man roster.
