That gives him — finally — an edge over Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who led those outside of Lambeau Field to believe he was, too, even as his team knew otherwise. But because Fields did, the Bears probably won’t be in a situation as dire as the Packers are this week. By virtue of being […]
Two nights after overcoming a 19-point deficit in Boston, the Bulls fell into an 18-point hole in Philadelphia with low energy defense in the first half. “I thought we were a step late,’’ Donovan said of his defense in that first half. You talk about a 19-point comeback against Boston, and it showed great resolve […]
That was the biggest issue on the two-game road trip to Boston and Philadelphia – lack of defensive energy in the first half that led to huge deficits to try and scale out of. When we work together defensively, we’ve shown it throughout the games when we’ve needed it the most. His reason for why […]
“He was very comfortable,” quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo said of Fields’ performance in a 33-22 loss to the 49ers on Sunday at Soldier Field. Even with Fields’ big rushing game — 10 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown — the Bears still only had 148 net passing yards, tied for the 24th-lowest in the […]
“What Kyle went through is unacceptable and intolerable,” Cheveldayoff told reporters Tuesday in Winnipeg. Hawks lawyers met with Susan Loggans, Beach’s lawyer, for about an hour to begin settlement talks regarding the still-pending lawsuit. A seventh-round pick, he’s one of several later-round Hawks selections from the 2020 draft who have significantly increased their stock in […]
But I think having a guy like DeMar out there, he plays with a pace and a tempo and a poise. ‘‘Yeah, just a sense for me,’’ DeRozan said when he was asked whether he’s going out there and looking to take the pressure off LaVine early in games. ‘‘I feel like when you watch […]
The Hawks confirmed in a statement later Monday that they were notified by Susan Loggans, Beach’s lawyer, in December 2020. According to the statement, chairman Rocky Wirtz and CEO Danny Wirtz ‘‘relied on information’’ from their former lead counsel and former human-resources chief that indicated the ‘‘matter was appropriately looked into and resolved in 2010’’ […]
Then, too, guys named Mike White and Cooper Rush beat the Bengals’ Joe Burrow and the Vikings’ Kirk Cousins, respectively. So the subs get their chances. The week before, he hung half a hundred on the Jets, throwing for 307 yards and two touchdowns in a 54-13 rout. But when you try to think of […]
During an offseason in which they cut left tackle Charles Leno and cornerback Kyle Fuller, the Bears kept Graham believing he’d be a vital asset in the red zone and on third downs. That was better overall than all of the Bears’ tight ends combined in 2019, and Graham tied Greg Olsen’s team record for […]
After an improved but ultimately fruitless effort Saturday in a 1-0 loss to the Blues, the Hawks will finish October having lost all nine games in the month’s schedule. “Frankly, each guy has to look at themselves in the mirror,” McCabe said. Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury looked most emotionally taxed of all Saturday, with his spectacular […]
Undersized and down Patrick Williams in the starting lineup, the Bulls still had some rebounding issues, but also had the cheat code to counter that. “He’s been great,’’ coach Billy Donovan said of Jones’ mentality throughout being kept from the rotation. “This was the most consistent game that we played to an identity,’’ Donovan said. […]
They’re still saying all the right things, at least when it comes to their on-ice performance. We’re going to get out of this.’ We’re still trying to do that, we’re still trying to stay positive… The undefeated Canes quickly turned the tide, though, scoring five unanswered goals in a 14-minute stretch straddling the first intermission. […]
In the days after he tested positive for the coronavirus Monday, Bears coach Matt Nagy began preparing special-teams coordinator Chris Tabor for the possibility that he’d be in charge Sunday at Soldier Field. Nagy also began preparing himself for the fact that one of the most important games of his Bears tenure will take place […]
Second-year wide receiver Darnell Mooney figures to be key to the breakout game for rookie quarterback Justin Fields that Bears fans are waiting for. If you include a league-leading 250 yards on 11 pass-interference penalties, they drop to 12th in passing defense. Fields is coming off a miserable game in which he threw three interceptions, […]
In the days after he tested positive for the coronavirus Monday, Matt Nagy began preparing acting head coach Chris Tabor for the possibility he’d be in charge Sunday at Soldier Field. And that’s probably the biggest challenge as you go through this, is, just making sure that everybody is doing everything as best as they […]
In a season of shortcomings, one of Bears coach Matt Nagy’s greatest successes has been fulfilling his goal of saying as little as possible any time he answers a question. He has only gotten more enigmatic since. Nagy refused to say whether he has tested negative, which is the first box he needs to check. […]

His conduct disqualified him, however, and it was a mistake to submit his name,” team chairman Rocky Wirtz wrote in a letter to Lanny McDonald, the head of the Hockey Hall of Fame. In 1984, one of the Oilers owners at the time put the name of his father, Basil Pockington, on the Cup even […]
“I want to express my sorrow for the pain this young man, Kyle Beach, has suffered,” Quenneville said in his statement. The Hawks did file a support to their motion to dismiss Beach’s lawsuit Tuesday. …Read the full story
“Obviously, the guys are the guys for a reason,” inside linebacker Alec Ogletree said. He’s been on the Zoom calls the last couple of days in the meetings and stuff. After conducting meetings and interviews through Zoom on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the Bears were scheduled to hold news conferences Thursday at Halas Hall. …Read […]
