The Bears are looking to get a divisional win against the Vikings in Week 6. We breakdown some key matchups to watch.

The Chicago Bears square off in a divisional Week 6 showdown with the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday, and it’s shaping up to be one of the more exciting NFC North battles in a long while.

Justin Fields and the offense finally began to click, averaging 34 points in the past two games, and the defense took some big steps forward in getting sacks and turnovers. Conversely, the Vikings find themselves in an extremely winnable game, even without star receiver Justin Jefferson.

5 biggest storylines ahead of Bears vs. Commanders in Week 5

The Bears are looking to snap a 14-game losing streak against the Commanders tonight. Here’s a look at the biggest storylines.

The Bears take on the Commanders in a primetime Thursday night football Week 5 contest, and Chicago has a lot more than just a win or loss riding on this game. The team is on the precipice of a 15-game losing streak, and head coach Matt Eberflus may see his time as the Bears head coach come to an end if he doesn’t break that streak. All is not lost, however: Quarterback Justin Fields is coming off a red-hot four TD performance against the Broncos last week, and the offense as a whole took a major step up.

Though it’s not for the reasons Bears fans had hoped, this season has become very interesting. Let’s examine some of that interest as we break down the five biggest storylines ahead of Bears vs. Commanders in Week 5.

4 reasons why the Bears will beat the Broncos in Week 4

The Bears take on the Broncos today as they try to get their first win. Here’s how Chicago can finally break that 13-game losing streak:

Week 4 has arrived, and Chicago Bears fans are forced to forego the more exciting happenings around the league and subject to themselves to what will surely be a shameful game between the Bears and Denver Broncos.

Both teams are winless as they reach the conclusion of the first quarter of the season, and a win would have a lasting effect on both teams. Chicago particularly has been under fire due to the team’s lack of ownership in who is to blame for their disappointing start, and the rumor mill is beginning to pick up speed as both the media and fans are beginning to talk about in-season firings and major shakeups to the roster.

Much hangs in the balance as the Bears look to defend their home turf against the Broncos, so let’s go over the four ways Chicago can secure a win in Week 4.

5 storylines ahead of Bears vs. Broncos in Week 4

Many questions surround the Bears as they prepare to take on the Broncos in Week 4. We break down the storylines ahead of the game.

The Chicago Bears approach a winnable Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, and the organization is completely in “win-now” mode.

Players are throwing coaches under the bus, coaches are pointing the finger at the players and the entire team has the lingering anxiety of failing to snap a 13-game losing streak that dates back to Oct. 2022.

With so much disjointedness from Halas Hall, a win in Sunday’s game would do much to stop the bleeding. Let’s take a look at storylines to watch in Sunday’s game:

3 key matchups ahead of Week 4 against the Broncos

The Bears are readying themselves to battle the Broncos in Week 4. Here are three key matchups to watch.

The Bears’ Week 4 game against the equally winless Broncos is only a couple of days away, and the Chicago faithful are starting to become a bit more optimistic about their chances.

The drubbing the Bears received from the Super Bowl champion Chiefs in Week 3 is in the dark recesses of our memory, and many have concluded that a win would right Chicago’s sinking ship.

To pull off the upset win, there are crucial aspects of the game the Bears need to identify and work in their favor. Let’s break down those aspects and go over the three key matchups ahead of Week 4 against the Broncos.

5 keys to a Bears victory vs. the Broncos in Week 4

The Bears are looking to get their first win in nearly a full calendar year against the winless Broncos. Here’s how they can get it done.

After the Chicago Bears were blown out, 41-10, by the Kansas City Chiefs, the Bears can finally look ahead to a winnable matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 4.

Denver is also winless through three games, but that doesn’t mean they have the same level of dysfunction that Chicago does. The Broncos still have an above average quarterback in Russell Wilson, with a solid offense and defense surrounding him. The Bears will need to rise to the occasion and improve in several key areas if the fans can enjoy Chicago’s first win in nearly a full calendar year.

Let’s take a look at five keys to a Bears victory over the Broncos in Week 4.

Injuries continue to mount for Bears secondary

The Bears’ secondary has been ravaged by injuries this season.

The Chicago Bears were embarrassed by the Kansas City Chiefs, 41-10, where things quickly spiraled out of control. To make matters worse, Chicago lost a couple key starters in the process.

A depleted Bears secondary got thinner with cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson exiting the game with injuries.

Stevenson left the game in the second quarter to be evaluated for a concussion after a big hit on Chiefs running back Isaiah Pacheco near the goal line. While Stevenson did come back in for a play, he soon exited the game again. He was replaced by fellow rookie Terell Smith.

Johnson suffered a hamstring injury later in the second quarter. While he tried to play through it, he eventually was ruled out with a hamstring injury and was replaced by Jaylon Jones.

Even reserve nickel cornerback Josh Blackwell reaggravated a hamstring injury during the game.

The Bears were already without starting safety Eddie Jackson, who suffered a foot injury last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and nickel cornerback Kyler Gordon, who was placed on injured reserve two weeks ago with a broken hand.

Right now, Chicago’s secondary is in shambles.

Chicago Bears Stock Exchange: Who’s up and who’s down entering Week 3?

Here are the Bears players who raised and lowered their stock this week.

The collective stock of the Chicago Bears is in the toilet this week after another frustrating loss leaves them at 0-2 to start the year. The Bears couldn’t stop Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, losing 27-17 with very few answers on either side of the ball.

Despite playing a closer game on the road, the Bears are still looking for those standout performers to make themselves known on a consistent basis. Some players did exceed expectations last Sunday, while others were put through the ringer.

Here is our Chicago Bears Stock Exchange heading into Week 3 of the season.

8 takeaways from the Bears’ troubling loss vs. the Buccaneers

From an incompetent offensive game plan to Ngakoue’s inability to finish sacks, here are our takeaways from the Bears loss to the Bucs.

For the first time since 2017, the Chicago Bears have started a season 0-2, dropping a frustrating game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-17. Coincidentally, that 2017 team also lost to Tampa in the blazing September heat in Week 2. But unlike that year, there is no allure or hope of a promising rookie quarterback waiting in the wings while a veteran struggles under center.

This group was supposed to be set at the quarterback position with Justin Fields, featuring an upgraded supporting cast, ready to build on last year and begin competing. But after mustering just 17 points with many of the same issues on display, this team is stuck in the mud with no rope to pull them out.

The Bears were too inconsistent on offense, unable to build on their early momentum and sustain a lead. Even when things got back on track late in the game, catastrophe struck with a pick-six late in the game.

The Buccaneers, meanwhile, were able to capitalize on third downs all day, which kept the defense on the field for far too long. Baker Mayfield had one of his best performances in recent memory, and Mike Evans abused the Bears secondary on multiple occasions.

It was another frustrating showing from a team that doesn’t have many excuses left. Here are our takeaways from the game:

4 reasons why the Bears will beat the Buccaneers in Week 2

The Bears take on Tampa Bay in crucial Week 2 game, and we go over the four reasons why Chicago will win.

Week 2. Bears. Buccaneers. Gameday. Week 2 arrives with much greater stakes for the Bears than it has in year’s past, as a Week 1 Packers thrashing left both the team and fans at a loss for words. While it may just be an early season overreaction, the Bears seem to be at a critical juncture in just the sophomore week of the season. A win could right a quickly sinking ship; a loss could see major lineup and coaching changes.

Luckily for Chicago, they go into Tampa with reasonable expectations that they can win. The Buccaneers have talent at some key positions, but Chicago is not the talentless void that has been previous seasons. The team has talent up and down the roster; now it’s just about tapping into it on a weekly basis. Even with the threat of a disastrous outcome looming overhead, let’s break down the four reasons why the Bears will beat the Buccaneers.
