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 Chicago Bears’ 2026 opponents are set. Dates and times won’t be announced until May, but the Bears already know who they will be playing at home and on the road.

Bears lose on walk-off field goal to the Lions, 19-16

As has been...

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. All the other playoff teams will be playing, and after the games, the lowest remaining seed in each Conference will travel to play the top seed.

Here’s the schedule; all times Central.

Saturday, January 10

3:30 p.m. – 5 Los Angeles Rams at 4 Carolina...

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 all week as these two teams split two very close games earlier this season. In Week 14, the Packers won by seven, 28 to 21, as Caleb Williams’ last-second pass was intercepted in the end zone. In their Week 16 game, Williams threw a game-winning...

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 to 17 upset over the Philadelphia Eagles, the Bears remain in the second seed in the NFC and will host the Green Bay Packers in Wildcard Weekend.

As for the Lions game, the Bears couldn’t get anything going for nearly three quarters, but 16 fourth-quarter...

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 in franchise history with 3,730 passing yards in 16 games, narrowly trailing Kramer and Jay Cutler’s 2014 season. Now, he’s etched his place in the record books as the quarterback with the most yardage in one year.

The Bears’ 2025 season has...

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.

Both the Bears and Eagles kick off at the same time, so let the scoreboard watching commence!

This will be your open thread to talk about the game. Keep in mind that all our open threads are rated WCG-MA. Also, this is a division game,...

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 portion of their schedule means they also get the first-place finisher in the NFC East, the NFC West, and the AFC South.

The Chicago Bears (11-5) are back home at Soldier Field to take on the Detroit Lions (8-8), and each team has just announced their inactive players list for the game.

In case you missed it, yesterday, the Bears elevated tight end Nikola Kalinic and linebacker Ty Summers from the practice squad for today’s game.

Odunze did get a limited practice in on Friday, so he could be ramping up for...

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 play spoiler.

Today’s game features the NFC North Champion Chicago Bears against a team that absolutely demolished them all the way back in Week 2 in the Detroit Lions. Back then we thought the Lions were cruising to a division crown and top seeding and...

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 as the man collectively called the “GOAT.”

It’s because the more I watch Williams play, I find myself thinking of Brady. Not what Brady finished his career as, but how he began it.

True, Brady was the 199th overall pick in his draft, not the...

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 Eagles loss) will secure the #2 seed for the Bears, ensuring a home playoff game against the Green Bay Packers next week. While the Eagles are expected to sit their key starters, including their starting QB, Jaylen Hurts, there has been no indication to date...

The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and the final week of the 2025 season finds your Chicago Bears firmly atop the NFC North and locked in to the #2 seed in the NFC with a win. This week, Chicago hosts the defending NFC North champion Detroit Lions in a rematch of their week 2 battle in Detroit when the Lions won 52-21. The worst loss of the season by far for the Bears and one that former Lions Offensive Coordinator and current Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson would like to amend for more reasons than one.

In...
