13 OCT 2026 · The Chicago Bears were completely outclassed in their 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers, and there’s plenty of blame to go around.
In this episode of the BearsTalk podcast, Bryan Perez breaks down what went wrong in Green Bay, including the disappointing individual performances that contributed to one of Chicago’s ugliest games of the season. Jaylon Johnson's struggles take center stage as we examine what’s happening with the Bears defense and which players need to step up.
Plus, we turn the page to Week 6 and preview the Bears upcoming matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Can Ben Johnson get his team back on track, or are the problems exposed by the Packers a sign of bigger concerns?

14 JAN 2026 · The Chicago Bears delivered one of the most unforgettable playoff wins in franchise history, rallying past the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round and reigniting Soldier Field in the process.
In this episode of BearsTalk, we break down how the Bears pulled off the comeback, from Ben Johnson’s offensive vision to Caleb Williams’ poise on the biggest stage of his young career. We discuss what the win meant emotionally for Bears fans, what it confirmed about this team’s direction, and why this offense suddenly feels built for January football.
Then, we turn the page to the Divisional Round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. What challenges does this Rams team present? Where do the Bears have advantages? And why the defense may ultimately decide whether this playoff run continues or comes to an abrupt halt.
This episode is about perspective, celebrating what just happened while honestly evaluating what comes next for a Bears team that is no longer just happy to be here. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-bearstalk-podcast--5636996/support.

We revisit the story of the 2025 season, the players who defined it, the moments that changed the vibe, and how the city rallied around this team. We also look ahead to the playoffs and just what it means.
This is a conversation for Bears fans who rode through the tough years and are finally seeing the payoff.
