With the Bears having already handled business on Saturday, I started watching “Severance” at the suggestion of a new friend. The early returns have me intrigued, even if I realized quickly that it might not be the best show for me to watch on an eerily quiet night in the neighborhood because of its mind-bending plot. Anyway, I’m always open to new show suggestions. Bonus points if they’re funny and I can watch as background noise.

— Kevin Kaduk (@KevinKaduk) December 21, 2025 The Bears’ futility between 2021 and 2024 makes it so much easier to celebrate the 2025 team’s ascent to postseason qualifier. Since their last playoff appearance, the Chicago Bears went 21-47, fired two head coaches, started seven different quarterbacks, and spent more than $884 million in cash salaries (h/t spotrac) on teams that failed to sniff a winning season. But after a five-year hiatus, they will be back in the playoffs when we flip the calendar to January.PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THE BN BEARS PODCAST: Apple | Spotify | YouTube
Now that the Bears are officially in the dance, we can share some other nuggets from The Athletic’s playoff simulator. For instance, it gives the Bears a 75 percent chance of hosting the wild card and a 14 percent shot at earning the No. 1 seed. Chicago’s football team will need to win out and get some help along the way with a Sehawks loss, but stranger things have happened. I look forward to seeing this all unfold. Caleb Williams (18) is pressured by Packers defensive end Kingsley Enagbare (55) at Soldier Field. The following NFC teams are still alive for a playoff spot: Panthers, Bucs, Lions, Packers. Someone has to win the NFC South. And someone has to clinch that final remaining wild-card spot. I’m just glad the Bears already have their ticket punched for the dance. I thought the CBS A-team broadcast lived up to its billing with how it handled the end-of-game scenario that played out between the Steelers and Lions:The ruling of the final call in the Steelers-Lions game… "The ruling on the field is a touchdown… however, pass interference, No. 14, on the offense…" Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, and Gene Steratore react to the wild scene for CBS. ???️ #NFL[image or embed]
— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing.bsky.social) December 21, 2025 at 7:07 PM I can’t believe I have to acknolwedge that Aaron Rodgers played a role in helping the Bears secure a playoff spot. This is outrageous. It’s unfair. But it is what it is. And it almost wasn’t because Pittsburgh tried coughing that game up in so many different ways down the stretch. What an unreal finish to a bonkers game. Thank me later: You can rewatch the thrilling finish to Bears-Packers all over again at the NFL’s YouTube page. DJ Moore on what it was like to catch a 46-yard game-winning touchdown: “It was scary, but it was cool.” (The Athletic)If you were wondering what the Bears were trying to do at the end of their first offensive drive on Saturday, here you go:

— Coach Dan Casey (@CoachDanCasey) December 21, 2025 A good snap likely results in the Bears getting a first down or even a touchdown. I don’t hate the decision to go for it. Scoring a touchdown after your defense put up a fourth-down stop to shun the Packers would have been a huge momentum swing. And I don’t necessarily dislike the playcall. But you absolutely have to execute it when you get in the moment. There are no do-overs on fourth down. For as fun as the finish was, I can’t stop thinking about how this team can’t afford any more slow starts or sloppy play. They got away with it against the Packers. And they’ve gotten away with it for a chunk of the year. Kudos to this team’s grit, resilience, moxie, poise, and gumption. This group has all of that in spades. And for whatever reason, the players and play-callers level up in crunch time. But I can’t imagine Chicago’s football team winning a playoff game when it gets dinged for 10 penalties and 105 penalty yards while giving up three first downs from penalties. Having that happen against your arch rivals is bad enough. But to have it happen in a postsseason game would be unacceptable. On the one hand, I understand why the Packers are upset with Austin Booker’s hit on quarterback Jordan Love…#Packers were not pleased with Bears pass rusher Austin Booker’s head shot on Jordan Love that left their QB1 with a concussion.

— Ryan Wood (@ByRyanWood) December 21, 2025 … but on the other hand I didn’t see it as a dirty hit. With that being said, I know why that was a penalty and understand that it will be called often (if not every time). As far as I’m concerned, that is the football equivalent of a pitcher losing their grip on a fastball and letting one sail right into the batter. Additionally, I do think Packers offensive lineman Aaron Banks is in the right to file an appeal to the NFL for a more serious in-game punishment for players who deliver cheap shots and dirty hits. We need to legislate that stuff out of the game. But something incidental like what we saw with Austin Booker? I think that is a brige too far. ESPN’s Rex Ryan had the best reaction to news of Matt Eberflus moving to the booth to call the Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 16:"If [Matt Eberflus] wants to get a better view of the game, buy a ticket." ?—Rex Ryan reacts to Cowboys DC Matt Eberflus moving to the booth from the field to call plays ? pic.twitter.com/cJFNN3APfa
— NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) December 21, 2025 In case you’re curious, the move resulted in the Cowboys coughing up 452 yards of offense and 34 points to the Los Angeles Chargers in what turned out to be a 34-17 Dallas defeat. It wouldn’t surprise me if Eberflus didn’t make it through to the end of the year. But on the other hand, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is so out of touch with reality that he might let Flus stick around for reasons unbeknownst to any logical-thinker with an iota of football IQ. This is cool: Taysom Hill became the first NFL player in the Super Bowl era with 1,000 career passing, rushing, and receiving yards. Now, that is how you carve a niche out as a pro.
