(Eileen T. Meslar/Chicago Tribune) At this point, every game is big for the Bears. Coach Ben Johnson’s team returns to Soldier Field for a matchup against the Browns. With only four games remaining, the Bears — who hold the seventh and final playoff spot in the NFC — need to keep winning if they’re going to reach the postseason. This game will pit two much-discussed young quarterbacks against each other. There is, of course, the 2024 No. 1 pick in Caleb Williams suiting up for the Bears. On the other side, Browns rookie Shedeur Sanders will make his fourth NFL start after beginning the season buried on the depth chart. Read more here.

(John J. Kim/Chicago Tribune) As the Bears continue a push for the postseason through the most difficult stretch of their schedule, it makes sense they will lean into the strength of the roster, which is the offensive line. Naturally, it took time for a new coaching staff to figure out where the team would excel, but for two months now, they’ve had a powerful running game that harkens back to the days when Walter Payton was the face of the franchise. No, they don’t have a Payton in the backfield, but the combination of D’Andre Swift and rookie Kyle Monangai has been highly productive behind the rebuilt line, and the Bears might just go as far as that group can push them.

A shared sorrow for the Bears and Browns: The never-ending search for a franchise QB Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders throws a pass under pressure from the Titans on Sunday, Dec. 7, 2025. (Sue Ogrocki/AP) Case Keenum is well aware of the jersey — the infamous, fan-altered jersey of former Cleveland Browns quarterback Tim Couch with a long list of his successors under his nameplate. Keenum should know it. He’s on it. “I’ve seen that shirt,” said Keenum, who played for the Browns from 2020-21 and joined the Bears as a free agent in April. “I think I’m probably the only undefeated quarterback on that list. … Minimum two games, right?” It’s true. Keenum started two games in 2021 and won both, but he knows that’s not what the spirit of the jersey is all about. It’s a meme about futility. It’s about a franchise’s exhaustive yet fruitless search for a solution at the game’s most important position.

(Eileen T. Meslar/Chicago Tribune)Expand The game was on the line. The Bears faced fourth-and-inches from the Packers 14-yard line inside the final minute. Trailing by seven points, they needed a first down or the game was over. Caleb Williams faked a handoff and rolled out to his left. Tight end Cole Kmet had a man beat in the end zone and Williams lofted a pass to him. But the pass was short of its target, and Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon came down with an interception that essentially ended the game, a 28-21 win for the Packers. It was the 211th meeting in the storied Bears-Packers rivalry, and first place in the NFC North was on the line. With the win, the Packers move into first at 9-3-1. The Bears fall to 9-4 with the 8-5 Detroit Lions lurking behind them. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for the Bears. Read more here.
