If Dillon Thieneman isn't a SERIOUS candidate for Defensive Rookie of the Year after tonight, I don't know what somebody has to do to win the award.
This defense is winning BECAUSE of the rookie.
He is on pace to win it in 2026 #beardown
Nobody understands how much a guy like Caleb loves the game, his team and the city that calls him theirs. When you go down and you know you’re INJURED there is a certain intensity of emotion that hits you. All of your immediate goals and plans are derailed: that causes emotion.
As long as Ryan Poles remains the GM of the Chicago Bears, they will be the Joe Burrow Bengals 2.0.
Top tier QB in Caleb Williams, but a terrible defense that continuously lets the offense down.
Poles hasn’t drafted 1 impact player that will start week 1 in 2026.
Ryan Poles before Ben Johnson:
W/L: 15-36
34 Drafted Players
1 All-Pro
0 Pro Bowlers
The Bears have the 3rd most expensive defense in the NFL but ranked 29th in Total Defense in 2025.
