  2. This will give the script writers ideas to make Da Bears the 2027 Super Bowl Champions

  3. Caleb might be the most exciting player to come into the NFL since Mahomes breakout season, and he’s in a way bigger market. We’re getting scheduled for a lot of prime time games next year.

  5. That’s awesome, but definitely not that surprising since Chicago is known as the third largest market in the country.

  6. I’ve lived on both coasts including in NYC. Chicago is the greatest sports city in the country hands down. Not even close.

  10. If I was not a Bears fan, I would have watched. The field had a very cinematic quality with the little bit of snow and the very dormant grass. Our fans only add to the atmosphere. This is what playoff football should look like.

    And even though sucks we end up -3 in turnovers in the end, unlike the Houston/ne game, this was actually a well played game by both teams.

  15. If the Bears went on a fifteen year run with some championships and always in the mix, it would be amazing for the NFL.

  16. Chicago impact, but also the Bears were easily the most exciting team in the league to watch. Half of their games were so dramatic you’d think they were cheesy sports movies.

  19. calling it right now, but if the seahawks win the SB i wouldn’t be shocked if opening night for the 2026 season is Bears @ Seahawks.

    It could also be Niners / Rams @ Seahawks but Bears @ Seahawks would be a great game

  20. Bears games were so much fun to watch. The late game heroics by Caleb, snatching victory in the final few seconds, the underdog storyline, the locker room vibes—this team had it all.

  21. Sweet, can we get some more roughing the passer type calls then? Sounds like CW is a money maker, better protect him.

  23. No doubt. I live in Maryland so any time the Bears come to town, I go to the game, and every time, the Bears fans show up big time..went to see them play in Arizona a few years back, same thing. We’re everywhere

  24. Seems like the league is really trying to promote Caleb. Not quite in the way like they did with Mahomes in his huge 2018 year, but definitely in a way that “he’s the next star in the nfl”.

    Means more favorable calls our way going forward, and a demand that we stay good and competitive hopefully 😂

  25. I was telling my buddies that the Bears losing would be bad for business. Bears are the team to see. Looking forward to see what viewer numbers are for the next set of games and SB.

  26. Bears being good awakens a sleeping giant. Chicago goes crazy for their teams and that reverberates throughout the country/fan base

  27. Feel like this is true of all sports. Pretty sure when the Hawks were great that NHL was seeing a large surge in viewership.

  29. Always has been. Even John Madden said that the NFL is always better when the Bears are winning.
