So much has been made of the Chicago Bears prolific offense.

We will give you the BLUEPRINT on how the Bears can bring the Vikings back to reality.

The Chicago Bears are an offensive-dominated team with head coach Ben Johnson at the helm, but is the defensive line a sleeping giant for defensive coordinator Dennis Allen? Allen spoke today at Halas Hall and called it one of the team’s deepest position groups. Have we not been giving the D-Line enough credit to this point?

When the Chicago Bears signed CB Kyler Gordon to a 3-year, $40M extension in 2025, they made him the highest-paid slot corner in the NFL.

We have reached the conclusion of Chicago Bears Training Camp with the initial 53-man roster officially set. On today’s episode, we award the winners of camp including the MVP, most-improved player, rookie MVP and others. What did we learn that can set our expectations over the past 5 weeks?

Ryan Poles got together with his former assistant general manager Ian Cunningham sending Gervon Dexter to Atlanta for defensive back Clark Phillips and a fifth-round pck. Dexter had wanted a contract extension that wasn’t coming from the Bears. He will not get a chance to prove his worthy of one in Atlanta while the Bears move on with depth at corner and a draft pick. Adam Hoge, Mark Carman and Greg Braggs Jr react on an emergency CHGO Bears Podcast.

In the preseason finale Chicago Bears backup QB Tyson Bagent proved he’s a starting-caliber QB after playing one half and passing for over 200 yards and 2 TDs. With Bagent once again improving his stock, could an NFL team call and make the Bears an offer that's too good to refuse?

The Chicago Bears used an efficient first half to build a lead and never look back in a preseason win over the Tennessee Titans on Saturday night. Tyson Bagent starred in the game, using his first play on offense to throw a 97-yard TD to rookie WR Zavion Thomas who was playing in his first game of the preseason. Later, Bagent found Maurice Alexander for a TD on 4th & Goal to oad the lead. Bagent finished the day 16/17 for 208 yards and 2 TDs.

What’s stood out since the players took part in their first minicamp? Join Mark Carman and Adam Jahns on the CHGO Bears Podcast.
