Bears fell short against the Rams 20 to 17 in overtime. The Bears were driving at the end of the game and Quaterback Caleb Williams threw an Interception that allowed the Rams to convert a field goal ending this historic season. Although the Bears fell short in their quest to return to the Super Bowl, that did make a Giant step in going from worst to first in one season under Ben Johnson. With the offseason upon us now the Bears will position themselves to reload for the 2026 season. With eight draft picks coming up in the draft and with about 40 million in cap space after redoing key veterans’ contracts. The Bears will focus on the Defensive Side of the Ball. The need in this offseason is to add depth on the Defensive Line at Tackle and add an edge rusher. In secondary Bears need to lock up a few players like Brisker, Wright and Byrad to lock up the Secondary. On the Offensive Side of the Ball Bears need to lock up the left tackle spot and focus on continuing growing Caleb Williams and exploring new opportunities that this offensive gives them in the run and pass game. Focus on developing young Offensive Line and focus on locker room development. Looking at the offseason there will be allot of surprises and changes coming as we continue to push to get back the Super Bowl and focus on improving last season huge step in the right direction.

Chicago Bears pulled out yet another miracle wins last Saturday Night and to win their first playoff game in over 15 years. Caleb Williams put his cape on and drove the Bears for a late 4th quarter touchdown to once again add to his mystique as the emerging Quarterback and future star in the NFL. What makes this team the most fun to watch is the fact that the guy’s support and love each other and never give up. This is contributed to Ben Johnson and his staff getting their guys ready each week and ensuring that all the players are ready to suit up and take the field and give their best. Bears heading into this week’s contest with the Rams are going to have to improve on first quarter performance and set the tone by establishing the running game. Bears need to come out and take the Rams Defensive line out of the game by moving the chains and creating opportunities for Caleb Willams to pass the ball. The Bears need to control the clock and keep the Rams offensive off the field. Bears defense has yet been able to stop the run or the pass and relies on turnovers to win games. At this point in the post season that philosophy needs to take a back seat and figure out how to stop the high-powered Rams offense led by Mathew Stafford. If the Bears can establish this game plan, then they have a chance to be close heading into the 4th Quarter. Caleb Williams and the Bears have pulled out many miracles this season and heading into Sundays Game the Bears will need all the luck they can muster against this tough Rams Team. Winning, lose, and even draw this team has proven that they are heading in the Right Direction. So, let’s hope for one mor miracle and continue this Cinderella Season.
