'Going through a storm:' Bears' struggles continue to start 2023 season

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 03:25:57 GMT

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — A new year has not brought new success to the Bears early in 2023, instead, it's only continued struggles that were there in 2022. While Sunday was a little closer than the difficult Week 1 defeat at the hands of the Packers at home, it still hammered home the fact that the team is still far off from being a contender in the National Football League.Even quarterback Justin Fields agreed after a 27-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday, dropping the Bears to 0-2 on the still-young season.“I think we have a long way to go," said the quarterback to the media at Raymond James Stadium. "I just think, if we keep working, we'll get there. I think everybody has to keep that mindset. I think in this position, 0-2, you can do one of two things and that's either lay down and just kind of throw in the towel and just say whatever. "But I don't think anybody on the team is like that."Yet things are not easy for a group that's approaching a full year since they last won a regular...

There are two 'Monday Night Football' games this week — why?

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 03:25:57 GMT

(NEXSTAR) — If you were looking to see who plays in "Monday Night Football" for Week 2, you may have had to do a double-take after seeing two games slated rather than the traditional single game. You may recall seeing this last year. The Tennessee Titans faced off against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2 and the Minnesota Vikings played the Philadelphia Eagles in the first-ever two-game Monday Night Football series as part of a new deal. The reason? It's part of new broadcasting agreements the NFL reached with ESPN. The deal, completed in 2021, gave ESPN and fellow Disney-owned network ABC more games, The Athletic explains. Former NFL player missing, mother found dead in Illinois creek September 18 marks one of three multigame Mondays this season. In this round, the New Orleans Saints will visit the Carolina Panthers, with the game set to kick off at 7:15 p.m. ET on ESPN. Then, an hour later, the Cleveland Browns will play against the Pittsburgh Steelers on ABC.You can expect the seco...

Source: Vikings agree to terms with offensive lineman Dalton Risner

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 03:25:57 GMT

After hosting Dalton Risner for a visit a month and a half ago, the Vikings are finally bringing the veteran offensive lineman on board. A source confirmed to the Pioneer Press that the Vikings have agreed to terms with Risner and he’s expected to arrive in Minnesota this week.This is a huge addition for the 0-2 Vikings given their struggles on the offensive line in losses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a similar story in both games as the Vikings were unable to run the ball with any sort of consistency.Maybe the writing was already on the wall when head coach Kevin O’Connell talked to reporters last week at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. Asked postgame if he felt confident with the options the Vikings have on the offensive line, O’Connell left the door open for potentially adding a player at some point.“I do have a lot of confidence in our guys,” O’Connell said. “But clearly we’ve got to do somethi...
