Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (4) reacts to a first down | IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect The Chicago Bears enter Week 4 with one of the NFL’s most productive rushing attacks, but they could face a tougher test against the New York Jets. Through three games, the Bears are averaging 184.3 rushing yards per game. That number is heavily influenced by the 291 rushing yards Chicago recorded in Week 1. Even so, the ground game remains a prominent part of the Bears' off

Last night saw the Chicago Bears produce a dominant (and much-needed) win over the Philadelphia Eagles for the second straight season. While there was lots to like about the victory, the best part was the play of Case Keenum, who filled in for injured starter Caleb Williams. In fact, Keenum's play was so strong that many have already asked whether or not he will remain the team's starter in Week 4. And there are certainly plenty of reasons for the Bears to stick with Keenum n

Chicago Bears defensive tackle Grady Jarrett pressures Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts on Monday during their game at Soldier Field in Chicago. (Mark Busch Through the first two weeks, the Chicago Bears’ run defense was poor. In Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers, Chicago allowed 125 rushing yards. Then in Week 2, the Bears allowed 119 rushing yards in a rainstorm. The way Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles started, it looked like the Bears were on cou

Eagles vs Bears Promotional (Credit: ESPN) There is something strangely familiar about tonight’s matchup between the Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles. Last season, the Bears traveled to Philadelphia to face the defending Super Bowl champions. What happened that afternoon arguably became one of the defining moments of the season and, perhaps more importantly, marked the beginning of what would become the Ben Johnson era in Chicago. The Bears leaned heavily on their rushin

According to Pro Football Network (PFN), Chicago’s defensive line has a 71.8 pass-rush grade, which ranks 20th in the NFL. It seems Bears fans were right to be wary of the pass rush heading into the season

It didn't take more than two minutes after Caleb suffered his injury during Sunday's game for social media to explode. Of course, some people immediately started attacking the Bears' QB1 from all sides. They accused him of overreacting and crying out in pain, saying that such behavior is not fitting for the reputation of a tough NFL player. Caleb's defenders on social media responded to his critics and detractors with a video showing Rob Gronkowski's reaction in 2015, when Gr

Rome Odunze was expected to continue developing into a legitimate No. 1 option. Luther Burden III entered his second season with expectations of becoming a bigger part of the offense. Meanwhile, Colston Loveland was viewed as a potential breakout candidate after showing plenty of promise last sea

Bears head coach Ben Johnson shared this morning that quarterback Caleb Williams is considered only “week-to-week” with his hamstring injury, and that he hasn’t even been ruled out yet for the team's next game. However, given that Ben Johnson also said that he doesn’t believe Williams will practice this week, it seems unlikely that he’ll return so soon. Which begs the question: when will he be back in action? Here are three potential return scenarios for Caleb Williams

Peter Casey-Imagn Images After Week 1, the Chicago Bears looked like they were going to have one of the best run games in the NFL. D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai combined for 224 rushing yards in Week 1. However, against the Minnesota Vikings, neither back found the same success. The Chicago Bears' Running Game Was the Polar Opposite in Week 2 In Week 1, the Bears' running game was explosive. Chicago had three runs from its running backs that qualified as explosive runs, whi

Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson (Credit: Chicago Sun-Times) The Chicago Bears' offense gave fans plenty to be excited about in its matchup with the Carolina Panthers. From a dominant rushing performance to the depth of weapons available to Caleb Williams, there were several positive takeaways from the game. While there are still areas for Ben Johnson's offense to clean up, the Bears showed just how dangerous this unit could become. The Bears might have the best rushing a

For as impressive as the Bears’ offense looked during their blowout win in Week 1, the game also saw the defense allow 37 points and almost 500 total yards. As such, there’s plenty to talk about—both good and bad—when it comes to that side of the ball. Here are three things Week 1 taught us about the Bears defense.

Chicago Bears Wide Reciever Rome Odunze (Credit: Yahoo Sports) Let me start with a disclaimer: at 100%, I believe Rome Odunze is the best wide receiver on the Chicago Bears. His talent is undeniable, and if he can stay healthy, there is every reason to believe he can develop into one of the best receivers in the NFL and be one of the key cogs of the Ben Johnson machine. That is exactly why the Bears need to think carefully about whether putting him on the field against the Ca
