Bears GRADES After Heartbreaking Rams Loss | Brisker HEROICS, Drops KILL Drives, & Ben Johnson’s Risky Calls

Author: The B.R.E.A.K.S Media January 19, 2026 Duration: 22:31

The Chicago Bears’ magical season ended in gut-wrenching fashion with a 20–17 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round. On this episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down the BEST and WORST performances from Soldier Field, the coaching decisions that decided the game, and what this loss means for Chicago’s future.

🏆 Best of the Night

  • Jaquan Brisker put on a playoff MASTERCLASS — 14 tackles, a sack, TFL, PBUs, and a game-changing presence everywhere.
  • Kyler Gordon returned in elite form, holding up vs. Puka Nacua while impacting coverage, run defense, and pressure packages.
  • Bears Pass Rush showed life — four sacks and real disruption of Matthew Stafford.

🚨 Worst of the Night

  • Bears pass catchers let Caleb Williams down — brutal drops, including a likely TD from Rome Odunze, and a killer miscommunication in OT.
  • Ben Johnson’s game management — six fourth-down attempts and questionable decisions that left points on the board.

📰 Offseason Storylines

  • Eric Bieniemy expected to return to Kansas City as OC — what this means for Chicago’s rushing identity.
  • Jaquan Brisker’s free agency — will the Bears pay him, or did he price himself out?
  • Ben Johnson on the future — “Next year is a new story,” and he’s not ready to move on yet.

🎧 PLUS: Voicemails from Bears fans reacting to the loss, expectations moving forward, and the defensive line priority this offseason.
