The BN Bears team took an unofficial vote and concluded that Tuesday is the worst day of the week. And that was before our favorite baseball teams blew leads in key pennant-race games. Oof.
Ben Johnson is a madman. And I love it. The Chicago Bears head coach hinted to play-by-play voice Jeff Joniak that he considered going for a two-point conversion that would have brought the team to 60 points late in that Week 1 win against the Carolina Panthers:Ben thought about going for 2 to get that 60 piece.Joniak: “At that point I was hoping for 60. I was thinking a 2pt try at some point.”Ben: “I don’t think you were the only one.”Ben wants it all lol. pic.twitter.com/tJLrsK5pvu
— Trey² (@PeanutChillman) September 15, 2026 The Bears’ last score came with 3:40 left in the fourth quarter, so there was still technically time to push across one more scoring drive had the Panthers not successfully run out the clock. Call it a hunch, but if it were the Packers, I think Johnson would not have hesitated to go for two to put a 60-burger on the cheesedoodles. Fearless prediction: This won’t be the last 50-point effort of the Ben Johnson era. It might not be the last 50-burger this offense puts up this season. Given the concern about what is happening on defense, Chicago’s football team might need multiple 50-point offensive bombardments to finish this season with a winning record.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST HERE: Apple | Spotify | YouTube
A quick look at where the Bears check in as outlets drop their power rankings ahead of Week 2: 2nd (FOX Sports), 3rd (Pro Football Talk), 7th (ESPN), 8th (NFL dot com), 9th (CBS Sports). The blurb from FOX Sports, whose power ranking placement of the Bears is eye-opening: “Ben Johnson doesn’t want to just beat other teams. He wants to destroy them. And with that offense, his team is going to break some bodies and records along the way.” And from PFT’s Mike Florio: “The 59 offense is possibly better than the 46 defense.” Sep 13, 2026; Charlotte, North Carolina, USA; Caleb Williams during the second half at Bank of America Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Bob Donnan-Imagn Images Dan Wiederer (The Athletic) highlights a game-changing play that got lost in the shuffle:With the game tied at 31 late in the third quarter, tight end Colston Loveland was flagged for a holding penalty in the red zone. That pushed the Bears back into a second-and-20 situation from the Carolina 21. That could have been a drive killer had the Panthers not reciprocated with a costly penalty of their own.
Instead, on a passing play that went haywire, Williams shuffled and skittered and scrambled, retreating 25 yards behind the line of scrimmage before throwing the ball out of bounds. The football was out of his hand for a half-second when Carolina defensive end Derrick Brown took an extra step and drilled the Bears quarterback.
Roughing the passer. Fifteen yards. Free first down.
Not only did that drive end with a D’Andre Swift touchdown, but it also sparked Chicago to go on a 28-6 run to end the game. Those little things can really add up. It’s why this coaching staff bangs the drum to play disciplined football. The Tribune’s Brian Casella has photos of the new food and drink options available for Bears games at Soldier Field this year. I wish more of these new menu items were available in places that were more accessible to all fans. Don’t get me wrong. I think it is cool that certain club sections get exclusives. But what about the rest of us? I’m wrapping this set of BN Bears Bullets with a fun fact! Caleb Williams has thrown 2+ touchdown passes in six consecutive regular-season games. These are his stats in those games: 121/201 (60.2%), 1,489 yards (7.4 yards/attempt), 12 touchdowns, 2 interceptions, 98.9 rating. That comes out to a 17-game pace of 342/569, 4,318 passing yards, 34 TDs and 6 INTs.FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook | Twitter | BlueSky
