Bearing It All with Mark and Chris
Close… and Coming

Losing to Green Bay always hurts — but this one felt different.

In Season 3, Episode 12 of Bearing It All with Mark and Chris, the guys process a gut-punch 28–21 loss at Lambeau Field that came down to the final seconds. Mark and Chris dig into why this wasn’t the “same old Bears,” how Chicago closed the gap on its biggest rival, and why this loss actually reinforces that the team is on the brink.

They break down Caleb Williams’ resiliency, the second-half execution that fueled a comeback from a 14–3 halftime deficit, the critical plays that swung the game, and what this loss means for the NFC North race with four games remaining. The Bears fall to second place — but the rivalry is officially back, the season is far from over, and Soldier Field still awaits.

Painful, honest, and hopeful — this one is about growth, belief, and what’s coming next.

Go Bears. All day. Everyday.

In this week’s episode of Bearing It All with Mark and Chris, the guys celebrate a wild 19–17 victory in Minnesota that pushed Chicago to 7–3 and into first place in the NFC North.

The Iceman Cometh

The Chicago Bears are officially back. In this week’s episode, Mark and Chris break down the Bears’ thrilling 24–20 comeback win over the New York Giants. A game that proved this team’s got grit, heart, and a franchise quarterback who’s earning his new nickname: The Iceman. Caleb Williams delivered another Houdini-like performance, leading a 14-point fourth-quarter rally with a touchdown pass to Rome Odunze and a game-winning scramble that electrified Soldier Field.

The guys celebrate how the Bears have already surpassed last year’s win total and dive into what’s fueling the team’s turnaround, discipline, belief, and clutch playmaking. They don’t shy away from calling out the near-costly mistakes either, from dropped passes to missed tackles.
