A collection of random thoughts on the Chicago Bears (and the NFL) to help bridge the gap between college football Saturday and Sunday’s NFL slate.
It sure seems like things are lining up for Theo Benedet to make his first NFL start at right tackle in place of an injured Darnell Wright. Transitioning from an undrafted rookie who became a viral sensation on “Hard Knocks” to a starting NFL player is a fun story. More than that, starting in Sunday’s Bears game against the Raiders would be a testament to the hard work he has put in to get to this point. But it would be troubling to see Chicago’s second-round rookie (who is a right tackle by trade, mind you) not get the call when one of your starters goes down. Raiders defenders have compiled 7 sacks and 15 quarterback hits in three games. At first glance, those numbers are eye-opening. But four of those sacks (and nine of those QB hits) came in Week 1 against the New England Patriots. Maybe it is no coincidence that Vegas’ output slowed down against the Los Angeles Chargers (fifth-best OL via Pro Football Focus) and Washington Commanders (11th-best OL). This will be a major test for Chicago and its blockers, which come in at 20th on PFF rankings.

— Computer Cowboy (@benbbaldwin) September 24, 2025 How much will the Bears miss Darnell Wright? PFF notes that Wright has allowed pressure on just 4.2 percent of pass plays this season, which is the best rate of his career (so far). On the other side of the ball, I hope the Bears’ defense is as hungry as it was last week. The Raiders allowed three sacks and 19 pressures on 34 pass plays vs. the Commanders in Week 3. Those numbers were key in Vegas’ 67.6 pass-blocking efficiency rating, which was the second-worst among NFL teams that played in Week 3. Right guard Alex Cappa’s 24.5 pass-blocking grade makes me think someone like Gervon Dexter Sr. could shine out in Vegas.

Mandatory Credit: David Banks-Imagn Images It would be nice to see Colston Loveland in the lineup on Sunday. The rookie from the University of Michigan is questionable to play against the Raiders due to a hip injury that limited his practice participation leading up to game day. Loveland has skills, talent, and athleticism. However, I’d like to see that translate into production sooner rather than later. I’m doing my best not to be impatient about a tight end’s development, but seeing Tyler Warren’s stats through three games (14 catches, 193 yards) when compared to Loveland’s (3 catches, 42 yards) fills me with angst. Colts QB Daniel Jones sure loves throwing to the tight end. Jones has a 66.7 completion percentage, is averaging 9.2 yards per attempt, and owns a 95.9 passer rating when targeting Warren this season.

— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing.bsky.social) September 27, 2025 at 8:24 AM If the Bears can pull off a Sunday win in Vegas, it means I won’t have to spend the entirety of my bye week thinking about which college prospects make the most sense as possible targets in the 2026 NFL Draft. Also, a Bears win probably nudges me to push harder for a trade to bolster the running back position. New England Patriots Head Coach Mike Vrabel says he has spent hours studying the Carolina Panthers kickoff team, which is regarded as the best in the league right now. Can someone send Bears Special Teams Coordinator Richard Hightower whatever film Vrabel has at his disposal?
