Hamp & O’B: Bears fall in season finale… what happens now?
Dan Hampton, Ed O’Bradovich and Andy Masur react to the final game of the season as the Bears lose to the Packers 17-9 (10th straight loss to Green Bay)
The Bears, riding so much momentum (winners 4 out of the last 5), came out flat in a game that was much worse than the final scoreboard shows. The Bears played like they had nothing to win, which showed in the result. Green Bay finished with a total yardage of 432 compared to Chicago’s 192 from the line of scrimmage, resulting in bad taste and heading into an offseason with many questions.
The Bears finish the 2023 season with a 7-10 record. The Bears will hold the 1st overall and 9th overall pick in April’s draft. Plenty of questions await the Bears as they head into a pivotal offseason.

Hamp & O’B: The Bears inability to close games remains intact
Dan Hampton, Ed O’Bradovich, and Andy Masur react to the Bears loss to the Cleveland Browns 20-17
Both teams started slow, but the Bears were able to strike first blood with a Justin Fields pass to Cole Kmet for a 5-yard touchdown reception. The Bears defense turned in another impressive showing, forcing another three turnovers, including a pick-six from linebacker Tremaine Edmunds. Trade deadline acquisition Montez Sweat turned in his best performance as a Chicago Bear, recording seven tackles and 2.5 sacks (6 sacks in 5 games). The Bears led 17 to 7 in the 4th quarter, but the team squandered the game in the fourth quarter after the Browns managed 13 unanswered points, ultimately leading to a 34-yard game-clinching field goal by Dustin Hopkins in the final 30 seconds. The Bears have lost three games this season with a 10+ point fourth-quarter lead.
