With a 30-24 victory over the heavily favored Philadelphia Eagles, the Bears put themselves on track for their second straight playoff appearance.
Yes, he's maddening. And he looks like that guy in college who you always wanted to punch in the mouth, just because. But Jay Cutler has also proven himself as the best QB in Bears history.
The McNeil and Spiegel Show's Over/Unders for Bears at Eagles on Monday Night Football:
Another big game for the Bears as they travel to take on Philadelphia tonight. If the Bears can find a way to win, they put themselves in a great spot to continue the playoff race. A loss with a rested Detroit coming in next week makes things more difficult. Here are the matchups I'm looking at:
After the Bears defeated the Bucs 24-18 in London on Sunday, Bears expert Hub Arkush had several revelations regarding the state of the 2011 Chicago Bears.
The votes are in and the McNeil and Spiegel Show has awarded their weekly game ball to Matt Forte.
Briggs says a rift is developing between the players and management.
Indeed the Bears were in a must-win situation against the NFC North's worst team Sunday and needed a better effort from the defense. Peppers, who was doubtful to play, found out shortly before the game that he was cleared by the trainers and led by example in one of the gutsiest performances of his career.
For a team that ranks 28th in the league in run defense, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is not the guy you want to face.
Bears GM Jerry Angelo isn't buying the idea that his defense is too old to play at an elite level, though.
The final score reads 24-13, but it might as well have been 240-13. As poor as the Lions played, nobody in the Chicagoland thought the Bears had a snowball's chance in pulling that one out after the Lions went up 21-10. The offensive line was outmatched, and almost the entire defense failed to show up Monday night. From there, the rest just fell into place.
Lovie Smith evaluates the regular season in four quarters, so let's evaluate Lovie's crew in the same fashion.
Should Devin Hester really be considered a legitimate Hall of Fame candidate? One Hall of Fame quarterback seems to think so.
Devin Hester set an NFL record with his 11th punt return for a touchdown, Forte ran for a career-high 205 yards and the Bears beat Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers 34-29 on Sunday.
The Packers shut down Jay Cutler and the Bears, who lost 27-17 Sunday.
It's strange to think this, but this is a big game for the Bears, beyond the usual Chicago vs. Green Bay storyline.
Brian Urlacher had a pretty simple way to summarize what happened in New Orleans Sunday.
I was steeling myself for an afternoon of mawkish sentimentality, with Fox Sports presenting a football game through the prism of death – cameras tracking Brian Urlacher all afternoon, announcers consumed with his feelings after he buried his mother just the day before. Thanks to the tone set by Urlacher himself and reflected by Lovie Smith, however, it turned out I was wrong.
The Bears will need a physical approach and a well-tuned strategy to defeat the New Orleans Saints this Sunday, says analyst Tom Thayer.
The final installment of Laurence Holmes' Superhero Football Team: Team Marvel's defense.
Brian Urlacher has been out of practice all week tending to his family after the sudden death of his mother, but the middle linebacker intends to play against the Saints in New Orleans Sunday.
Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week Wednesday.
Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher will be away from the Bears for several days after the unexpected death of his mother.
With the regular season underway, I'm excited to see what's on your mind. So let's get started with this week's mailbag.
Call it the "church of the takeaway" because Bears coaches preach about the importance of winning the turnover battle.
