October 21, 2025

By Alex Izienicki

Soldier Field finally had something to celebrate again, as the Chicago Bears snapped their eight-game losing streak to the New Orleans Saints with a 26-14 win. Powered by a dominant defense and resurgent run game, the Bears overcame offensive struggles to notch their fourth straight win and move to 4-2 on the season.

Father John Misty played “I Love You, Honeybear” for the 602nd time in Des Moines at Val Air Ballroom, October 1.
