The Chicago Bears have finally answered one of the biggest questions on every fan's mind: where will they be hitting the road this season? While we already knew they wouldn't be heading to Europe, Mexico, or Down Under, the team has now confirmed exactly when their big road trip is happening. For Bears fans, any year that doesn't involve a transatlantic flight is a good one—unless it's to the UK or Ireland, where the loyal Bears faithful always show up strong.
In other news, the Bears' defensive line approach after the NFL draft is sparking plenty of conversation. Our latest Q&A dives into what the team is thinking up front, while rookie minicamp highlights how Zavion Thomas can refine his game and make an impact. Meanwhile, defensive coordinator Dennis Allen is opening up about what went wrong on defense in 2025, offering insights that make sense—at least in part. We'll see if the adjustments pay off.
On the offensive side, rookie minicamp also showcased how Sam Roush and the tight ends could reshape Chicago's attack. If nothing else, expect to become very familiar with the number 13 this season. And speaking of numbers, we can't help but wonder what the reporters' room sees in Mike right now—it's a developing story worth watching.
Elsewhere in the league, Patriots seventh-rounder Quintayvious Hutchins is facing assault and battery charges, a tough way to start an NFL career. Unless you play for Kansas City, of course. Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart is singing the praises of John Harbaugh, calling him the best coach he could ask for, and there's a fun debate brewing over whether Walter Payton could have been an elite dual-threat quarterback.
Finally, our Question of the Day: Will anyone on the Bears have more sacks than Montez Sweat this season? It's a bold question for a defense looking to turn the corner.
