5 things to watch in the Bears-Lions game — plus our Week 14 predictions
Justin Fields ‘focused on what I can control’ with Bears future
Justin Fields didn’t feel the need to debate whether the speculation about his Bears future is fair.
He has been around Chicago long enough to know the noise comes with the territory, even as it heads toward a fever pitch this month. With five games to play in the NFL season, the Bears have major decisions ahead, and many involve the quarterback position as Fields nears the end of his third season. Read the full story here.

‘You can tell these shoes really mean a lot to people’
When Sneakerhead University first opened its doors on State Street in fall 2022, co-founders Shay Belvin and Mykol Branch had one room with three tables, a bucket of 12 paints and a desire to preserve sneaker history and tell stories using sneakers.
A little more than a year after its modest opening, The SHU Experience led more than 100 members of the Bears organization in customizing Nike Air Force Ones as part of the NFL’s My Cause, My Cleats initiative.
It’s the eighth year NFL players have an opportunity to participate in the campaign, which allows them to design and wear custom cleats that support a charitable organization of their choice.

Bears stadium update
The Bears continue to check out a variety of sites in and around Chicago — including the site of Soldier Field — as potential homes for a new stadium, officials said Wednesday.
The Bears are doing due diligence on the viability of the south parking lot at Soldier Field as the location for their next stadium, according to unnamed sources cited by The Parkins & Spiegel Show on WSCR-AM 670 The Score.
The parking area south of Soldier Field includes a garage and a ground-level lot. The area is party central for tailgating fans. The area once was recommended by a mayoral task force as the site of the proposed Lucas Museum. Read the full story here.
