Gene Chamberlain has covered the Chicago Bears full time as a beat writer since 1994 and prior to this on a part-time basis for 10 years. He covered the Bears as a beat writer for Suburban Chicago Newspapers, the Daily Southtown, Copley News Service and has been a contributor for the Daily Herald, the Associated Press, Bear Report, CBS Sports.com and The Sporting News. He also has worked a prep sports writer for Tribune Newspapers and Sun-Times newspapers.

Former Bears quarterback Jay Cutler gets some advice from former Bears offensive coordinator and Rams head coach Mike Martz.

Tyrique Stevenson can't stop a Justin Jefferson reception earlier this season at Minneapolis.

Caleb Williams looks for an open receiver late in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson returns an interceptions against the Green Bay Packers in Sunday's Bears loss.

Kevin Byard tris to slow down Josh Jacobs in Sunday's 28-21 Bears loss to Green Bay.

Dennis Allen and Kevin Byard saw ways the Bears' defense can improve over last week's effort but the ability to address these might boil down to better personnel.

Browns guard Teven Jenkins (74) looked like he'd be making his second start this season against his old team but now he's hurting.

Bears and Browns injury report: Cleveland had nine players miss both practices and a former Bears lineman now has an injury issue that might stop spoil his "homecoming."

Kyle Monangai powers off tackle against the Packers. The two-back attack being used by the Bears has averaged 175 yards over the last nine games.

The two-headed rushing attack of Kyle Monangai and D'Andre Swift has rolled along and there are reasons to think it's exactly what the Bears will need on Sunday.

Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell brings down Bears wide receiver DJ Moore in the Bears' 24-15 win on Black Friday.

Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle says the offense will "stay the course" with hopes Caleb Williams finds DJ Moore more than once a game.

Carson Schwesinger and Devin Bush, at linebacker, can make running on the Browns almost as tough as passing on them.

Myles Garrett is not the only issue for the Bears as they try to get back on track following last week's loss at Green Bay.

Bears safety Kevin Byard can't see his team getting caught in a trap game when they've constantly stressed not looking ahead.

The Browns might appear to be an ideal team to catch the Bears asleep, but looking past a struggling opponent now doesn't fit the profile for how they've built this team.

Myles Garrett fends off a block to get to Justin Fields. The Bears haven't had good success in three past games stopping the NFL sacks leader.

There is no greater test for an offensive line on pass plays than trying to keep Myles Garrett away from the quarterback, and it's a task the Bears failed at in the past. .

Rome Odunze was listed as a player who would have participated in practice had the Bars held one.

Two injured players would have participated in practice had the Bears not had a walk-through on Wednesday and it's a good sign for both sides of the football.

The last time the Bears had a really cold game at Soldier Field was when they honored Mike Ditka in 2013 and beat Dallas 45-28.

It used to be called Bear weather but the Browns play in it, as well, and Sunday the teams will try to keep from freezing on the lakefront.

Caleb Williams looks to do damage downfield against Green Bay last week.

What do Caleb Williams and Michael Jordan have in common? The Bears QB found something in describing his failed attempt to beat the Packers at game's end.

Caleb Williams looks downfield in the loss at Green Bay. His slow starts and inaccuracy are dragging down the passing game.

The start to games needs to be much better for the Bears' starting QB, and it's been this way much of the season in terms of accuracy and consistency.

Bears fans will be able to make advance purchase of playoff tickets on Thursday.

Refundable tickets will be sold to the general public an hour after season-ticket holders for the opening playoff game.
