The cold, hard truth is that Packers fans aren't what they once were. Extremely proactive in the 1990s, they have become more reactive after three decades of winning. Other than a playoff game or an occasional night game against an opponent that moves the needle, the fans no longer show up r…

LAKE FOREST – There won’t be a single run, pass, block or tackle involved, but the most important matchup Sunday for the Bears and Denver Broncos as they try to get off the schneid and in the win column this season just may be between the 2018 NFL Co…

David Bakhtiari said he and the team’s medical staff would “monitor” his back injury in advance of Sunday's game and that he will “hopefully” be good to go.

Sometimes referred to as the "snow globe" game, the shot has become one of the iconic photos of the retired Hall of Fame quarterback.

After going a combined 22-6-2 straight up but only 12-18 against the spread out of the gate, Arthur and Hub are back to pick all the Week 2 action:

Although the Denver Broncos struggled a lot more defensively in new coach Vic Fangio’s debut than the Bears did under his successor, Chuck Pagano, both teams are licking their wounds after embarrassing losses preceding their meeting Sunday at Empower…

It's pick time! Will the Bears bounce back in Denver from their miserable Week 1 loss to the Green Bay Packers?

Davante Adams had just four catches in the opener against the Bears, who made sure they had multiple defenders covering him.

Coach Matt LaFleur declined to comment about the All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari's health but said, "We’ve got a couple different options that we feel good about."

Of his final 63 regular-season games with the Green Bay Packers, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix played every defensive snap in 59 of them. In nine games after being dealt to Washington last year, Clinton-Dix never left the field defensively seven times, playing 9…

LAKE FOREST – Bears tight end Trey Burton was experiencing “not much pain” during warmups before the season opener against the Green Bay Packers last week, but he said the decision to sit out the game was not up to him.

The guys talk about how the Patriots and NFL could handle the sexual assault and rape allegations against new WR Antonio Brown and share their biggest Week 1 takeaways — including the standouts (New England, Baltimore and Tennessee) and biggest stenc…

It's been a week, but we're still trying to figure out what went so horribly wrong vs. the Packers, while turning attention toward Vic Fangio's Broncos. A lot more Mitch postmortem but also who has the upper hand in the first reunion of the minds, an…

The second of three Oakland Raiders first-round rookies, Josh Jacobs, had the trio's most impressive debut Monday night, turning his 40 snaps (of a possible 55) into 113 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 24 touches in a convincing win over t…

Lamar Jackson finishing a game with as many incompletions as carries would have been believable last year because he averaged a ridiculous 21 rushes per start.

Aaron Jones & Co. had only 47 yards on 22 carries in the season-opening 10-3 win over the Bears.

Aaron Rodgers has long talked about Mike Zimmer’s innovation of bringing a host of defenders to the line of scrimmage and then sending some after the quarterback and dropping others out.

The Chicago Bears will look to right the ship after their season opening loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday when they travel west to take on the Denver Broncos. The game will be a reunion of sorts, as former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is n…

A significant and almost certainly disproportionate amount of the blame for the Bears offensive debacle last Thursday night has been laid at the feet of Mitch Trubisky, and meeting the media Wednesday for the first time since last Thursday night, he …

New Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio fielded more questions during his 10-plus minute teleconference Wednesday with local reporters on his golf game than he did queries regarding his Week 2 reunion vs. his former team, the Chicago Bears.

It was only one game, but this feels a bit like uncharted territory.

The Packers are limiting Bryan Bulaga in practice in an effort to keep the often-injured right tackle on the field all season at age 30.

Finding the positives in Mitch Trubisky’s Week 1 performance is difficult — for whoever draws the assignment of polishing perhaps his worst game since his rookie season.

The unit converted just 2 of 12 third downs and Aaron Rodgers was sacked five times in the opener against the Chicago Bears on Thursday night.

Minnesota relied heavily on running backs Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison in its opening 28-12 victory over Atlanta.

Now that all the evidence is in, we need to have this conversation just one more time.After this I p…

Even as one of the Bears’ most versatile players, Leonard Floyd entered his fourth season with a bit of a one-dimensional pass-rushing track record.

Second-year WR Anthony Miller told PFW Monday that he’s as puzzled as the rest of us regarding his noticeably small role on offense in Week 1, when he played only 16 snaps while the Bears mustered their worst performance on offense of the Matt Nagy e…

I had an editor once tell me that when I get angry, I should write. “Some of your best work comes when you are fired up about something, it is then when your true passion for this comes through the piece.”

JK Scott's performance showed just how far the 2018 fifth-round pick has come since last season, when he was inconsistent with his placement and distance and saw his averages dip once the weather turned.

After the New England Patriots opened their latest NFL title defense season by dominating the Pittsburgh Steelers 33-3 in Foxborough Sunday night, it's clear that Antonio Brown’s football services are needed more by his old team than his new one.
