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.

The 6-3 Bears remain flawed, sure. But they also have a lot going for them right now plus undeniable momentum in mid-November. https://t.co/yJFMebT8mY

Time was running out on the Bears on Sunday. Then it happened … Three top-10 draft picks all making big-time plays on the same snap, three core pieces of the future demonstrating the value of high-end talent in high-leverage situations.

With a thin margin for error, three top-10 draft picks excelled on the same snap to spark a rousing Bears comeback win.

Week 10 ends. The Bears leapfrog Green Bay and are tied with the Lions atop the NFC North. Detroit owns the tiebreaker.

It’s rare that I watch Jordan Love play and come away with the sense that he’s ascending. Feels like the posterchild for the “mid” QB tier. That fumble at the end of half was gross on multiple levels.

From @kfishbain ... C.J. Gardner-Johnson is already third on the Bears in sacks, and his impact plays Sunday helped rally the defense. Big day from an important newcomer. "(D.A.) knows what he’s good at. I think he allowed him to be himself today.” https://t.co/WikQFBds6d

Newcomer Gardner-Johnson had two sacks and a forced fumble to help the Bears come from behind to defeat the Giants.

A rare blend of composure, confidence and playmaking ability in the clutch is establishing Bears QB Caleb Williams as a game-on-the-line magician. His latest trick came in Sunday afternoon's late rally. FROM SOLDIER FIELD: https://t.co/vlkBvZZ38f

Timely takeaway by the Bears. Strong drive. But then some red-zone stallage and they settle for a FG to pull within 17-10. Defense is going to need to come up big again here down the stretch.

Bears are sleep-walking here right now. Pretty ugly sight. Now in a 10-point hole with a response needed quickly.

I haven’t been as present covering the Kings lately — not from disinterest, but because I’ve been pouring my energy into something that feels like the foundation of everything I care about. While I rarely talk politics online, I’ve quietly built my path in international

Bears called 19 pass plays in the first half and 13 runs. Color me a bit surprised. That requires some course correction in the second half.

Up and down sequence for D'Andre Swift who converts fourth-and-2 with an impressive run and then can't catch a pass on fourth-and-4. Bears have failed to convert twice on fourth down today.

Rome Odunze up to 66 receiving yards in the first half. Four catches on five targets.

If you sign a 50 year mortgage you are an IDIOT. If you sign a 15 year car loan you are an IDIOT. Trump's economy has failed. We are a year in and everything sucks. He can't blame it on Biden anymore. But he can act like a vulture and sign poor people in need to lifetime debt.

Bears opt to punt on fourth-and-8 from the 36. Tory Taylor gives them a 25-yarder that's fair caught. Weather a factor.

Russell Wilson calls tails. The coin says heads. Bears win the toss. And, based on wind presumably, they will take the football first. Off we go.

Chilly. Gusty. But not extreme. A HUGE opportunity for the Bears today. I have said a couple times that the only way the Bears lose this game is if they lose this game.
