Day 16 of the Chicago Bears offseason. In quiet moments this time of year, I think about the only time I’ve ever seen my favorite team in the Super Bowl was at a Super Bowl party that I didn’t even really want to attend. I’m not sure what I’d do if the Bears made a Super Bowl now. But I know I wouldn’t go to a party I have no interest attending. And now, I’m wondering if people actually like Super Bowl parties.
It’s been a busy morning at BN Bears. We can begin with Chicago’s search for a new offensive coordinator. Arizona Cardinals Passing Game Coordinator Connor Senger reportedly receiving a request to be interviewed for the opening makes him the first official candidate on our radar. Senger is fresh off calling plays in the East-West Shrine Bowl and has recently interviewed for QB coach opportunities with the Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers. It feels worth pointing out that Senger worked under former Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, who is now the Detroit Lions’ offensive play-caller. Petzing is friends with Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson. Sometimes, who you know can be as valuable as what you know. We’ll keep an eye out on Senger (and other OC candidates) for obvious reasons. Elsewhere, friend Matt Nagy found a new job as the New York Giants offensive coordinator. Nagy gets a chance to call plays for second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart and stud wide receiver Malik Nabers. I’m rooting for Nagy to figure it out because I love a good bounce-back story. With that being said, I find it a bit odd that the job he ultimately landed is one that still connects him to Andy Reid. Both Nagy and Giants Head Coach John Harbaugh were long-time Reid assistants. Again, this is a reminder that sometimes it is as much about who you know than what you know. Speaking of old friends making headlines, former Bears quarterback Justin Fields reportedly turned down an opportunity to be a Pro Bowl quarterback:One note before the Pro Bowl Games on Tuesday: #Jets QB Justin Fields was asked to participate, I’m told.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 3, 2026 On the one hand, I would’ve had a hearty laugh seeing the reaction of Bears fans online to the news of Fields being named to the Pro Bowl. But on the other hand, I know the discourse would have quickly gotten rotten. And after surviving the Great Bears Quarterback Civil War of 2024, I don’t want to have to live in that space again. Good on Justin for focusing on improving his game for next year. After the season Fields had in New York, the 2021 first-round pick has a lot of work to do. Over at the Bears’ official website, All-Pro safety Kevin Byard checks in from the Pro Bowl Games. Jason Lieser (Sun-Times) gets reaction from Rams receiver Puka Nacua, who shares what he was feeling when Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed that game-tying touchdown to Cole Kmet in the NFC Divisional Round. “‘It’s freezing out there and negative [wind chill], and I’m sweating like a mother, saying, ‘There’s no way that he just did that,’” Nacua said. “He’s going to be great.’” Mandatory Credit: David Banks-Imagn Images My favorite thing about the image above is waaaaaay in the back on the left-hand side is a seated Caleb Williams, after being knocked down by a Rams defender, watching Cole Kmet come down with the grab. After that catch, I saw a lot of Packers fans online (presumably, because the algorithm wants me to be angry and engage in nonsense) say that Kmet got away with offensive pass interference. So I watched that play over and over again. And yet, I failed to see anything that would have merited an OPI call. The cope is real, folks. The NFL will play games in the following international locations in 2026: Australia, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, London, and Spain. I think we’ll get to a point where the NFL plays 17-18 international games each season. And I believe there will come a time when each team will make one overseas trip per year. I’m not sure how that will work out on the schedule, but the answer to that question is well above my pay grade.THE BLEACHER NATION BEARS PODCAST: Apple | Spotify | YouTube
A pair of Chicago sports media stories on very different ends of the emotional spectrum. Jeff Agrest (Sun-Times) writes about Kevin Kaduk’s departure from the ALLCITY Network. Many sports fans remember Kaduk from Yahoo’s “Big League Stew” column. But, more recently, Kaduk helped get CHGO off the ground. Kaduk is one of the great influences from my formative years as a writer when I was in my 20s. It was a bummer to read about his departure because guys like that deserve better. I hope someone provides him with the soft landing he deserves. On a brighter note, there was some Chicago sports media history made on Monday with 670 The Score flipping the switch to the FM dial. The Score, which is the radio home of the Cubs and Bulls, will still be simulcasted on the AM side. But their new home at 104.3 FM marks a new era for the station. As as long-time listener, former caller, and occasional guest, I marvel while thinking about how far this station has come since the days my uncle used to have me listen with him when the station was on 820 AM. Cheers to the next step.We've officially launched on 104.3 FM!Adjust your radio presets now and you can find us on all our socials @TheScoreChicago. pic.twitter.com/VMV5WFl3jQ
