While this setup may trigger unfortunate memories of 2013 when a Week 17 loss to the Packers cost the Bears a playoff spot, the odds are looking better for the Bears than they have in weeks. If the Bears beat the Packers, they will be in the playoffs no matter what. If the Cardinals lose to...

In the third quarter Sunday, the Bears held decisive advantages in total yards (156-8), first downs (11-0) and time of possession (11:15-3:45). They needed just one third-down play on three touchdown drives of 77, 54 and 25 yards. The TDs came on 6-yard runs by Mitchell Trubisky and David...

The Bears' third-quarter touchdowns came on 6-yard runs by Mitchell Trubisky and David Montgomery and Trubisky's 22-yard pass to Jimmy Graham—their second TD connection of the game. "We just kind of just said, 'Let's just go out and be us,'" Trubisky said. "We weren't finishing the way we...

"I just feel lucky and blessed to be lucky to play," said Trubisky, "to be back in this offense, to be out there with my guys playing. And it's been a crazy season. But I'm just fortunate to be out there, to be able to play and to be able to help this team win." Trubisky completed 24 of 35...

On the Bears focusing on one game at a time: "It's just the way our league works. It's how you've got to operate. Honestly, a lot of this is just focusing on us—our team, our locker room—what can we do to improve and get better every week. That's been the focus, and I think Matt [Nagy] has...

After a sluggish start Sunday in Jacksonville, the Bears scored 31 unanswered points, turning a 10-10 tie into a commanding 41-10 lead. They took a 13-10 lead on Cairo Santos' 40-yard field goal as time expired in the first half and then scored TDs on their first four possessions of the second...

With the Cardinals losing Saturday, the Bears cannot be eliminated from the playoffs Sunday, even with a loss to the Jaguars. With the Buccaneers' 47-7 rout of the Lions Saturday in Detroit, the Bears can no longer catch Tampa Bay (10-5) for the first wild card and No. 5 seed. But the Bears...

Shelley is also dealing with an injury, however. He was limited in practice Friday due to knee and foot issues and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Rookie fifth-round pick Kindle Vildor started in place of Johnson last Sunday against the Vikings and registered five tackles. On the...

"You just see a lot of smiles," said Whitehair. "You know we're still playing for a lot. We're still in that playoff race. We're taking every game like it is a playoff game, and that's just what we've got to continue to do these next two games and get into the show." Last season, Whitehair...

That's exactly how Nichols approached his offseason conditioning work after being limited by an injury last year. The 6-3, 313-pounder broke his hand in a Week 2 win in Denver and missed three games. He recorded one more tackle in 2019 than he had as a rookie in 2018 (28-27) but produced fewer...

Since the season began, Montgomery has decided to step up his diet game: he has removed all meat and animal products from his diet. He's been happy with his results. Correlation is not causation, but he has rushed for more yards than anybody in the league, save Derrick Henry, since making the...

"I would say I just wanted to control my own destiny," said Trubisky. "I'm controlling what I can control at this point. And I'm just trying to take control of my career and put it in the direction I want it to go." Since his return to the starting position, Trubisky has been more forceful in...
