With all the wins they stacked up in 2025, you already knew the Chicago Bears weren’t going to be picking particularly high in the 2026 NFL Draft. Which, if we’re being honest, isn’t a sad thing after three straight years of top-ten picks.
The Chicago Bears drafted Caleb Williams with the hope that he’d eventually become a perennial top-10 quarterback in the NFL—at the worst. (With his skills and talent, his ceiling is undoubtedly MVP-level if he ever reaches it.) At least one writer thinks Williams is already knocking on that door.
The Chicago Bears host the Detroit Lions on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET in the regular-season finale with a chance to secure the NFC’s No. 2 playoff seed. Chicago enters at 11-5 after a Week 17 loss in San Francisco, while Detroit is 8-8 and eliminated from playoff contention.
The Chicago Bears will play their last regular-season game on Sunday, but for the first time since 2020, they will be dancing in the postseason after clinching the NFC North championship.
Rule changes have made passing numbers easier to compile in the modern era, and the game's top quarterbacks have taken full advantage. While the heaviest hitters are represented here, some storied postseasons by slightly lesser-celebrated QBs remain entrenched in playoff annals as well.
If you had said at the beginning of the season that only one team in the NFC North would be playing meaningful football in Week 18, a lot of people would be surprised.
While Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams prepares for the Lions in Week, he’s also chasing a 4,000-year season. However, John Elway isn’t totally sold on the Williams comparisons yet, according to a post on YouTube by Club Shay Shay.
Very early in this season, Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen made it clear how much he hated talking about the game in the rear-view mirror. That's fine for him but fans and media want to rehash and try to see what went wrong .
The Chicago Bears are looking like a force to be reckoned with heading into the playoffs, but there have continued to be discussions surrounding veteran wide receiver DJ Moore.
A couple of years ago, Jaquan Brisker appeared to be a rising star for the Chicago Bears. He was a tackling machine, decent in coverage and was always up for a good quote.
The Chicago Bears are entering their Week 18 matchup against the Detroit Lions looking to clinch the NFC’s No. 2 overall seed. Their wide receiver situation is headed in two different directions entering the matchup.
For years, Thanksgiving belonged to the NFL, but Christmas belonged to the NBA. Occasionally, an NFL game would fall on Christmas, but it was anomalous, even avoided if possible.
How last Sunday's loss turned out did not sit well with the Bears' defense, but the fact they needed to try to outscore the 49ers in a shootout definitely didn't surprise the Chicago coaching staff .
If the Chicago Bears' surprising run to clinching the 2025 NFC North championship can be explained by one statistic, it would be turnover differential.
So many final games of the regular season devolve into exhibitions with practice squad players doing battle instead of competitive football. It happens for virtually every team already eliminated and for some of those getting ready for the playoffs.
Could the Chicago Bears actually swing a trade for Las Vegas Raiders superstar Maxx Crosby this offseason? Everyone knows the Bears need another pass rusher, and Crosby could ultimately be the best one available in the coming months.
The Chicago Bears, surprisingly, are playing for a higher playoff seed with the NFC North title already clinched. The visiting Detroit Lions, unexpectedly, are playing for pride.
The Bears can come up with many different reasons for wanting to win Sunday's game against the Lions to close the regular season, and on Wednesday they did.
The Chicago Bears attempted to shore up their pass rush last offseason by signing former Indianapolis Colts edge rusher Dayo Odeyingbo to a three-year, $48 million contract in free agency.
Whether he wanted one or not, Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson got a history lesson from the team’s media on Wednesday. Johnson was asked if there was any added incentive to get quarterback Caleb Williams over 4,000 passing yards for the season during the team’s final game.
The Chicago Bears announced they have placed LB Noah Sewell on injured reserve with his Achilles injury. The team also restored TE Nikola Kalinic to the practice squad from the practice squad injured list. Sewell, 23, was selected in the fifth round by the Bears in the 2023 draft.
When the Chicago Bears drafted tight end Colston Loveland with the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Bears were hoping to land a big-time player that could shine in big moments.
Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson admitted that he erred on the team’s final play in their loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Bears had one chance to get a game-winning touchdown on 2nd and goal with five seconds left in Sunday’s 42-38 loss at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Ca.
The Bears lost out on the opportunity to secure the No. 1 seed during their loss yesterday. The team’s defense was also dealt a blow in the process. Linebacker Noah Sewell was carted off the field Sunday and quickly ruled out with an ankle injury.
The Bears have seemingly got every fortuitous bounce during this magical turnaround season, and it was fair to question whether they could hang with the league’s best offenses without generating takeaways.
