Leftover Lou Malnati’s pizza makes for a wonderful Friday morning breakfast option.
We are just 24 days away from the Chicago Bears opening their regular season with a game against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football. Rejoice! Meaningful football is just around the corner. The Buffalo Bills are in town today for their joint practice session with the Bears at Halas Hall. Buffalo brings reigning NFL MVP Josh Allen, running back Dalvin Cook (and his newly minted extension), and a team with Super Bowl aspirations. Also returning to Halas Hall is quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Things didn’t end on a high note for the 2017 first-round pick, but he did take Chicago’s football team to two playoff appearances in three years (2018, 2020) as a starter and was a Pro Bowl alternate. I’ll be curious to hear from him this weekend. (Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty Images) As for the Bears’ current starting quarterback, it sounds like Caleb Williams had a good practice session on Thursday. These details from the Trib’s Dan Wiederer provide a refreshing update on the developing QB, which included an end-of-game drive situational period that resulted in what would have been a game-deciding field goal attempt (and the only reason there wasn’t one was because Cairo Santos was given a rest day):Williams completed three of his four true pass attempts on that drive — excluding a pair of clock-killing spikes. The biggest gain covered 25 yards, with the quarterback delivering a pinpoint fastball into a tight window over the middle to Rome Odunze. Three snaps later, Williams and Odunze connected again for 14 yards along the right sideline. From there, the offense was successful lining up to kill the clock with one tick remaining.
Williams had a solid practice overall and proved sharp during a 7-on-7 red-zone period, too, throwing touchdown passes to Olamide Zaccheaus and DJ Moore. (The latter, it appeared, may have been negated by an illegal procedure.)
My favorite anecdote from the passage above is the accurate ball to Rome Odunze. Maybe this is a sign that the Caleb-Rome connection will hit the ground running in 2025. My least favorite anecdote from the passage above is that one of QB1’s practice TD passes was wiped off the board because of an illegal procedure penalty. It would be preferred that the Bears clean it up on that front before games of consequence kick off in September.

Mandatory Credit: David Banks-USA TODAY Sports Football is fun: The Bears’ Thursday practice ended with offensive and defensive linemen going head-to-head catching passes from Caleb Williams. I’m a sucker for these stories because they provide a reminder that football is taken overly seriously by too many people — and it doesn’t have to be like that. (Sun-Times) A wild story from The Athletic: Someone spent $12,000 on a Jay Cutler football card. In 2025. What a time to be alive.

Packers quarterback Jordan Love could have played through the thumb injury that he just had surgery to fix. And had it been during the regular season, he might have done so. But Green Bay’s QB1 told reporters (via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) that he followed the recommendation to get surgery because there was enough time for him to recover before the team kicked off its regular season in Week 1. That may be so, but hand injuries can be tricky for quarterbacks. Even though the Bears won’t play Love until December, his early-season performance will be worth monitoring. The Minnesota Vikings will not play starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy in the team’s Preseason Week 2 game against the New England Patriots. Sam Howell will get the starting nod in his place. There isn’t enough of a sample size to declare who is handling preseason playing time decisions the best. Hence, I am intrigued by every decision by each coach in the league because they all serve as data points as we whip around the league. Over in Detroit, the Lions are cooking up more ways to use running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery at the same time. Quarterback Jared Goff (via Pro Football Talk) sets the table and explains what is happening with Motown’s new-look offense:“We’re working on how many different ways we can use them. As often as we can get both those guys on the field is a good thing for us. Finding creative ways to do that is the hard part, and that’s the challenge upstairs for those guys, but they’re doing a good job of figuring it out. You don’t ever want to take either of them off the field, so we’re trying to find ways to throw it to one of them and have one of them block, and then throw it to the other guy have the other guy block, hand it to one of them. It’s a lot of fun and those two guys are good.”
The Bears will see the Lions in Week 2 at Ford Field. Facing the two-time defending NFC North champs was already going to be a challenge. But doing so after a short week and on the road makes it that much tougher. But nothing worthwhile comes easily, so I hope the team is ready to embrace the road ahead.HAPPY FRIDAY FROM BLEACHER NATION BEARS: Go Ad-Free | Subscribe to the BN Newsletter
