Note: Due to unforeseen New Years plans, play reviews won’t be done this week. I will be doing a deep dive into play reviews next week to make up for the lack of them the last two weeks! First and foremost: Happy New Years to all of you Windy City Gridiron faithful! I hope 2026 brings you all the happiness and blessings you deserve! I don’t think any Bears loss has made me feel as inspired as the loss we had on Sunday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers last week.

Note 1: I apologize for how late this is releasing, with the holiday and losing about 2 days of the week to travel I have not had much free time during the week to do this, we will be back to a regular schedule next week! Note 2: Much like week 12, Play reviews for this week will not be done, due to the aforementioned traveling for the holidays, I don’t have access to the tools I need to record and overlay information on those recordings. So this weeks recap will be abridged.

It’s good to be back to winning football, especially in a commanding way. For the first time in what feels like all season the Chicago Bears were solidly in the driver seat from gun to gun when the visiting Cleveland Browns came into town and suffered a 31-3 blow out. The performance across all phases cannot be understated, the defense held the Cleveland offense to the 11th worst performance via DVOA since 1978, the offense racked up 21 first downs, 361 total yards of offense

All good things must come to an end. But even if they do, there are good things to glean from those things that come to an end. At least that will be my stances after the Chicago Bears’ 5 game winning streak came to a halt at a frigid Lambeau Field. A game that saw the Green Bay Packers defend their frozen tundra and take home a 28-21 win, stamped by a game sealing interception in the endzone by Keisean Nixon. It was a slow start for the Bears offense and Caleb Williams, whic
