This is *easily* my least favorite picture of all time. By a mile. My dad was nervous but still so eager and confident to fight cancer. He was never given a fair shot and was gone 16 days later. Today is the anniversary of that brutal farewell.

Any emerging, attention-grabbing Bears stadium proposals should face this question first … Is the Bears organization actually invested or engaged at all in said proposal? If not … 🤔 Question 2: Can the Bears, with patience thinning and other league owners seeking clarity, really afford to start back at the start in exploring new possibilities with extensive due diligence required?

Jaylon Johnson’s pick six. Devin Bush’s fourth-and-1 stop. Cam Lewis’ INT. Jeffery Simmons’ TD-saving tackle. The Bears defense came to the rescue Sunday night. Man, was that performance needed. nytimes.com/athletic/7766906…

“The Bears have proven thus far that they’re a playoff-caliber team with real potential to play in February. Ben Johnson has seen enough to know this is a group worthy of both his ire and his high expectations.” @jon_greenberg weighs in … nytimes.com/athletic/7766861…

Ben Johnson has seen enough from his team this season that he knows it can still draw his ire even after a win.

The Bears have a double-digit lead going into the fourth quarter ... and yet the vibes at Soldier Field are anxious as hell. For understandable reasons.

This Bears team has a big-time response gene. Remember that dropped Rome TD on the first drive? Me neither.

Caleb Williams enjoying the spoils of distributing right now. RAC city for the pass catchers right now. Burden gets loose as his QB beats the blitz. 56-yard TD.

Since Caleb Williams returned from a hamstring tear in Week 6, the Bears have not trailed. With an early 7-0 lead at Soldier Field tonight, that streak continues for now -- 28 days and counting.
