Mark Sanchez Suspended Four Largely Hypothetical Games For Failed PED Test

That Time Sage Northcutt Hid Behind A Waterfall To Avoid A Bear

Report: Former Bears Great Charles Tillman Joined Up With The Man

I remember Charles Tillman as a fun player with a preternatural gift for causing turnovers, and though I have never been a Bears fan, I remember rooting for him personally out of appreciation for his mastery of the forced fumble and the defensive touchdown. Those were happy times, and like virtually...

Vikings Fall For A Bears Trick Punt Return

A few trick plays have been some of the only highlights of this otherwise poor Bears season, and Chicago sprinkled in another one for their final game of the year.

Kicker Robbie Gould’s 11-year tenure with the Bears came to an unceremonious end when the team released him a week before the 2016 season started.

Tarik Cohen Runs Like 90 Yards For 61-Yard Punt Return TD

Nothing gets a fan screaming in fear and disgust like a punt returner running the wrong way, but when the 49ers kicked to the Bears’ Tarik Cohen, the Chicago returner made the worst possible decision seem like a perfect one.
