Regular Season

Week 1: CHI at DET (CHI 38 - DET 0) (1-0)

The Bears couldn’t have started the season any better. The offense and defense clicked in an absolute blowout. Carson Wentz and Jordan Howard had a combined four TD performance. The defense intercepted Matthew Stafford and Brett Hundley a combined eight times.

MVP: Jordan Howard (23 ATT, 125 YDS, 2 TDs)

Week 2: ARI at CHI (ARI 20 - DET 10) (1-1)

The Bears home opener left fans disappointing as the Bears lost to their rival Cardinals. The Henry signing proved to be crucial to the Cardinals success this year. Jordan Howard was held to only 39 yards on the day and Carson Wentz had to carry the offense.

MVP: Carson Wentz (14/24 203 yds, TD, INT)

Week 3: DET at CHI (DET 3 - CHI 34) (2-1)

Reigning Sexy Rexy Award winner Matt Stafford lived up to expectations, throwing his second six-interception game against the Bears this season. Carson Wentz threw for two touchdowns and Jordan Howard found the end zone twice as well. Logan Ryan had a field day, picking off Stafford three times. I would like to personally thank @jclaar51_lions for single-handedly delivering Logan Ryan a pro-bowl appearance.

MVP: Logan Ryan (2 TAK, 3 INT)

Week 4: CHI at JAX (CHI 22 - JAX 25) (2-2)

A disappointing game for Wentz, throwing for only 167 yards and an INT, the Bears offense struggled. The Bears would lose on a hail mary to Allen Robinson with less than a minute to go.

MVP: Jordan Howard (16 ATT, 103 YDS, 2 TD)

Week 5: BYE

Week 6: CHI at MIN (CHI 41 - MIN 7) (3-2)

CPU Game.

MVP: Carson Wentz (8/11, 142 YDS, 2 TD)

Week 7: HOU at CHI (HOU 0 - CHI 31) (4-2)

CPU Game. Second defensive shutout of the year.

MVP: Pernell McPhee (3 TAK, 1 Sack)

Week 8: CHI at NO (CHI 24 - NO 10) (5-2)

A rematch of the 2019 NFC Championship Game, the Bears had a score to settle. The defense went into New Orleans and shut down the potent passing attack. They kept Jared Goff under 200 yards and intercepted him three times.

MVP: Jordan Howard (20 ATT, 114 Yards, 1 TD)

Week 9: MIN at CHI (MIN 6 - CHI 35) (6-2)

CPU Game.

MVP: Carson Wentz (9/14, 177 YDs, TD, Rush TD)

Week 10: CHI at GB (CHI 19 - GB 7) (7-2)

The Bears defense was able to shut down rookie phenom QB Gabe Kurpeikis, picking him off 3 times in the game. This was a very defensive game and one of the better matchups in this historic BL rivalry.

MVP: Griffin Lovelock, (5 TAK, 3 Sacks)

Week 11: CHI at DAL (CHI 7 - DAL 38) (7-3)

Vacation

Week 12: CHI at IND (CHI 20 - IND 24) (7-4)

Week 13: TEN at CHI (TEN 7 - CHI 29) (8-4)

CPU Game

MVP: Bobby Wagner (1 Tackle, 2 INT)

Week 14: TB at CHI (TB 14 - CHI 20) (9-5)

Each team scored on their opening drives, but the defense would shut down the Bucs passing attack until the 4th quarter. MVP Luke Wagner was held to 31 yards on 13 carries. The Bucs scored on a last ditch effort hail mary, but would still come up short. Jordan Howard was able to get the job done on the ground for the Bears.

MVP: Jordan Howard (20 ATT, 95 YDS, 2 TD)

 

Week 15: CHI at CAR (CHI 31 - CAR 13) (10-5)

CPU Game

MVP: Carson Wentz (9/13, 137 YDS, 2 TD, INT)

Week 16: ATL at CHI (ATL 10 - CHI 28) (11-5)

CPU Game, Bears clinch playoff berth.

MVP: Carson Wentz (13/18, 247 YDS, 3 TD)

Week 17: GB at CHI (GB 7 at CHI 35) (12-4)

The NFC North Championship. Winner gets the division crown. Carson Wentz and the offense fired on all cylinders while the defense completely shut down the Packer offense. Gabe Kurpeikis once again threw 3 picks against the stout bears defense. Wentz exposed the Packers secondary throwing for 202 yards and three TD. Strong safety Kelcy Carswell had a two interception game filling in for the injured Deandre Clear. This victory secured the Bears 3rd consecutive NFC North title.

MVP: Carson Wentz (11/13, 202 YDS, 3 TD)

 

Post Season

 

Wildcard Round: GB at CHI (GB 23 - CHI 31) (13-4)

Playing for the third time this season, this would be the most intense match-up of the year. The Packers went up 10-0 early, but the Bears came roaring back. Jordan Howard broke away on a 58 yard TD run to make it 10-7. The Bears forced a fumble on the following kickoff and kicked a field goal to tie the game. The defense put up clutch stops and picked Kurpeikis off 2 times. The Bears fed the rock to Jordan Howard and he carried them to victory. Nose tackle, Eddie Goldman even got an interception off a screen and almost took it to the house. The Bears finally got their revenge for the 2010 NFC Championship.

MVP: Jordan Howard (22 ATT, 155 YDS, 3 TD)

Divisional Round: CHI at TB (CHI 42 - TB 15) (14-4)

Looking to reach their third consecutive NFC Championship, the Chicago Bears put on one of their best performances of the season. The offense was unstoppable, putting up 42 points on the Bucs. The defense shut down the high-octane Tampa offense and held them to 15 points while picking off Winston 3 time. Carson Wentz played his best football of the season, leading the Bears to a decisive victory.

MVP: Carson Wentz (11/13, 263 YDS, 3 TD)
NFC Championship: CHI at ARI (CHI 13 - ARI 20) (14-5)

A pure defensive battle. The two best teams in the NFC duked it out for four quarters. Derrick Henry was the star of the game, carrying the Cardinals to their first Super Bowl in Better League history. The Bears offense was shut down by the Cardinals and Carson Wentz’ two interceptions robbed the Bears of their chance for their second Super Bowl.

MVP: Cardinals’ Derrick Henry (15 ATT, 180 YDS, 2 TD)
