39:52 Injuries in NFL week 14

Caleb Williams and the Bears left Lambeau frustrated after a 28-21 loss to the Packers. Chicago managed just 3 points in the first half but rallied with 18 in the second. Still, costly defensive lapses and explosive plays allowed Green Bay to hold on. The Bears now sit at 9-4, dropping from the NFC’s top seed to the 7th spot in the playoff picture. These two rivals meet again in two weeks at Soldier Field—could that game decide the NFC North?

NFC Playoff Picture After Week 14

The race is heating up!

#4 Buccaneers (7-6)

Wild Cards: Seahawks (10-3), 49ers (9-4), Bears (9-4)

Teams like the Lions and Panthers are still in the hunt. Every game matters now

Is This the End of the Chiefs Dynasty?

Kansas City’s nine-year reign over the AFC West is officially over. At 6-7, the Chiefs have just a 10–15% chance to make the playoffs and would need to win out for any hope. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid face a brutal stretch and major offseason questions. [cbssports.com], [sports.yahoo.com]

POSTGAME: Chicago Bears LOSE to Green Bay Packers 28-21 Dec 08, 2025

Show notes

Despite a sloppy first half where the Bears trailed 14-3 at halftime, Caleb Williams led a second-half comeback to tie the game at 21. Green Bay answered with a long drive to take a 28-21 lead, and that score held as Caleb’s attempt for a game-tying touchdown to Cole Kmet was intercepted in the end zone.

The Bears will regroup and prepare for next Sunday’s matchup against the 3-10 Cleveland Browns at Soldier Field.

The Chicago Bears are making final preparations for a huge showdown at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. They’ll be without star wide receiver Rome Odunze, sidelined with a foot injury. Despite the setback, the Bears have nothing to lose—no one expected them to be in this position during Ben Johnson’s first year as head coach.

Can Chicago take advantage of the pressure on Jordan Love and Green Bay to win another critical game and separate themselves in the division?

Plus, what’s going on with Micah Parsons and his comments about being “disrespected”? Who exactly is disrespecting him?

The Chicago Bears head to Lambeau Field with everything on the line. At 9-3 and sitting atop the NFC, Ben Johnson’s team has no margin for error. A loss to the Packers could drop them from the No. 1 seed all the way to the 7th, with three tough conference games still ahead.

We break down the matchup, including how the Bears might exploit Green Bay’s defense without Devonte Wyatt. Plus, we discuss a great piece from The Athletic on Caleb Williams’ growth as an NFL quarterback.

And for a fun twist, we revisit the classic film Planes, Trains & Automobiles—including the Bears game referenced during the iconic “Those aren’t pillows!” scene.
