My Saturday is off to a wonky start, but my plan is to get it back on track by lunchtime. Wish me luck, Bears fans!
The Federal Aviation Administration mandated a nationwide ground stop on Friday (Friday the 13th, go figure!) that threw so many travel plans for a loop. The stop has since been lifted, but the residual effects are still being felt. And, as you might expect, college football and the NFL are dealing with it, too. The NFL has adjusted officiating assignments for Week 10 games, reassigning officials to games that are within driving distance of their hometowns. Nine college football games received new kickoff times because of the ground stop. What a mess. You didn’t need me to tell you that the Chicago Bears have one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses. But I am a visual learner who appreciates charts:Which NFL offenses are creating the most explosive plays? t.co/uiMbcD8zhb

— FTN (@FTNFantasy) November 13, 2026 And I also like where Luther Burden III ranks. The Bears have some pass-catching weapons that other teams would envy. They have a quarterback who will throw them the ball. And they have a coach who schemes these guys open. Don’t get me wrong. I love the bye week. I need the time to rest and reset before the post-bye grind begins again. But I’m looking forward to seeing what this offense has in store for us starting in Week 11. Seeing Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson land on PFN’s Defensive Team of the Week put a smile on my face:NFL Week 9 defensive players of the week, per PFN’s Impact metrics ?

— Pro Football Network (@PFN365) November 12, 2026 Jaylon has been one of my favorite Bears to follow since he was drafted. That guy put together strong seasons despite suboptimal surroundings, so it hurt to see him struggle out of the gate this year. That said, I hope his pick-six of Bucs QB Baker Mayfield (in what was his best game since 2024) is what sparks an in-season turnaround. Two Bears earned spots on Pro Football Focus’s Week 9 Team of the Week. Return specialist Zavion Thomas found his way to stand out among the specialists. Hopefully, excelling in that role will allow him to earn some more playing time on offense. Of course, he’ll need to stop with the silly penalties first. Also making PFF’s All-Week 9 Team is right tackle Darnell Wright. I’ll try to squeeze in a post early this coming week on Wright, whose 88.7 grade in Week 9 was a season-best. I love the idea of Chicago’s best offensive linemen going into the bye week on a high note and then coming back from it playing their best ball down the stretch.

— SFdata9ers?? (@sfdata9ers) November 13, 2026 Given what we’ve seen in the past, I’m not surprised to see Packers quarterback Jordan Love rank high on this list. And the Cowboys have been getting beneficial treatment since the 1990s. But Kirk Cousins making moves thanks to penalties stopped me in my tracks. Something to keep tabs on in our Bears stadium watch:In Springfield parlance, this maneuver is called a “gut-and-replace.” It’s basically a legislative cheat code. HB 958 itself was a shell bill that became the Senate’s Bears bill in May. And it could be used again since it’s already passed both chambers. But not a guarantee.

The Chicago Cubs have “shown early interest” in left-handed starting pitcher Trevor Rogers, a free agent who piques my interest. Rogers seemed to figure something out over the last two seasons with the Baltimore Orioles, making 48 starts, tossing 279.1 innings, and posting a 3.16 ERA to go along with a 3.20 FIP. The strikeout numbers (23.2 K%, 8.4 K/9) and walk numbers (6.1 BB%, 2.2 BB/9) are nice. I know he’s not Tarik Skubal, but Rogers is the kind of pitcher the Cubs rotation needs. If you’re looking for some good news from Hawkeytown, Tab Bamford has it at BN Blackhawks, writing about how the team’s prospect pipeline is still near the top of the newest batch of organizational rankings. IT’S OVER! The Chicago Bulls’ eight-game losing streak has come to an end! They needed overtime to defeat the Atlanta Hawks, but a win is a win. Now that I’m thinking about it, I could use another winter hat for my rotation. You could probably use one, too:This hat from @payhomage.bsky.social is what you need to keep your head warm in the winter *AND* let people know you root for the best team in the NFC North. ?⬇️ homage.sjv.io/dyzqyq #ad[image or embed]
