Originally from the small town of Elba, New York, Sonny received his degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and currently resides in Cleveland, Ohio.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Chicago Bears</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>Over the last five weeks, Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen has looked like <i>peak Keenan Allen </i>despite the fact that the Bears have been at far from peak form. In these five games — five losses, as part of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-william-encouraging-8-game-losing-streak">an abysmal two-month-long losing streak</a> — Allen is averaging 82.4 yards per game and has scored five touchdowns, and on Sunday against the Detroit Lions, he played what was certainly his best game of the season.</p><p>Keenan Allen had his best game as a Bear on Sunday afternoon, hauling in nine receptions for 141 yards and a touchdown in a 34-17 loss to the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lions-news-detroit-makes-history-dominant-win-bears">NFC-leading Lions, who set a franchise record with their 13th win of the season</a>. However, Bears fans <i>probably </i>shouldn’t grow too comfortable seeing the 12-year veteran in the Navy Blue and Orange, because it sounds like this performance was nothing more than an audition of sorts for Allen, who will be a free agent at the conclusion of the season.</p><p>After the loss to the Lions, Allen was asked if he’s been trying to prove himself to the Bears front office. Turns out, Chicago is just <a href="https://www.shawlocal.com/bears/2024/12/23/chicago-bears-players-have-nothing-left-to-say-after-3rd-consecutive-blowout-loss/" rel="noopener">one of the 32 teams</a> Allen is auditioning for. These last few weeks have been all about, “putting good stuff on tape.”</p><p>“Yeah, you just got to prove it to all 32 teams,” Allen said, per Sean Hammond of Shaw Local News Network. “At the end of the day, that’s what it’s about and the last name on your back is really what matters. I ain’t never going to quit. Just keep going.”</p><p>If Allen were to turn out to be just a one year rental — <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/keenan-allen-trade-grade-for-bears-chargers-deal">at the price of a 4th round pick</a> — it would be a gut-punch considering at best, Chicago will have mustered just six wins at season’s end. But given how the last two months have gone, a spring departure for Allen would be a fitting end to what has thus far been a mostly unspectacular stint in the Windy City.</p><h2><b>Cheer up, my fellow Bears fans… Caleb Williams is here to stay </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/A-disgruntled-Chicago-Bears-fan-in-the-crowd-on-Sunday.jpg?w=1024"><figcaption>Mike Dinovo-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Take that bag off your head, man! I know it may not seem like it right now, but for the first time in, well, decades, there is reason for hope in Chicago. Even as the world is crumbling around him, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-historic-frustrating-rookie-season">Caleb Williams continues to deliver in a way that quarterbacks historically haven’t for this franchise</a>. And that’s with an inept coaching staff, a battered offensive line, and a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-dj-moore-clarifies-controversial-vacation-comment">cast of weapons that are already eyeing vacation</a>.</p><p>Still, Williams has now gone 326 pass attempts without throwing an interception, the sixth-longest streak in NFL history, and he’s closing in on Chicago’s single-season passing yardage record. Just under 600 yards shy of Jay Cutler’s mark, Williams will probably fall short, but I do believe it’s only a matter of time until that record, and every other Bears passing record of note belongs to him.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Los Angeles Rams defeated the New Orleans Saints 21-14, where Kupp posted three receptions for 17 yards <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/rams-news-cooper-kupp-contrasts-matthew-staffords-preparation-jared-goffs">from Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford</a>. While it wasn’t the stat line that fans were accustomed to seeing out of Kupp, he still made his mark.</p><p>Kupp has become <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42726632/los-angeles-rams-cooper-kupp-sets-nfl-record-most-receptions-first-100-career-games" rel="noopener">a new record holder</a>. It was his 100th NFL game, reaching 625 catches in his career – the most in a player’s first 100 games. Keenan Allen was <a href="https://www.profootballhof.com/news/2021/01/keenan-allen-claims-receiving-record/" rel="noopener">the previous leader</a> with 623 receptions as a member of the Chargers, passing Antonio Brown in December 2020.</p><p>“Kupp credited the team, saying, “It’s a cool thing to have been a part of an organization that’s put me in positions to go do that,” per ESPN’s Sarah Barshop.</p><p>“At the end of the day, we’re all asked just to do your job, whatever that is that you’re asked,” Kupp said. “Sometimes it’s like today, and it’s putting the neck roll on and blocking for Kyren and doing whatever you can in that regard. And throughout my career I’ve been asked to do a lot of different stuff, and I’m glad to be a part of an organization that that is a possibility. You got to be able to play around a lot of really good football players, part of a lot of good coaches, and I’m just thankful for the people I’ve been able to play this game with.”</p><p>It was a milestone that made the Rams victory all more special. Kupp is certainly a player who has never put himself above the franchise, and they are now staring down a shot to win the NFC West, just one game behind the Seattle Seahawks.</p><h2><b>Cooper Kupp’s Rams legacy continues to grow</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Cooper-Kupp-1.jpg"><figcaption>Joe Nicholson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Kupp has recorded 7,631 yards and 56 touchdowns over his eight-year career, while boasting 12.2 yards per reception.

This team, one that I’ve rooted for my entire life, is improbably, almost comically, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-fans-begging-for-matt-eberflus-firing-vs-lions">finding utterly heartbreaking ways to lose football games</a>. It’s actually like something you’d see in a cheesy sports movie, right before the team has their moment where they come together and right the ship, except this is real life and there’s no such moment coming… at least until <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-chicago-firing-head-coaches-stat-will-catch-matt-eberflus-attention">Ryan Poles does what he needs to do, and fires Matt Eberflus</a>.</p><p>I won’t go as far as saying that the Bears have “quit” on Matt Eberflus, because this team continues to play competitive football, at least in four of their last six losses. But at the very least, it’s become abundantly clear over the last month that this Bears roster hates playing for their third-year head coach who is a miserable 5-19 in one-score games since taking over in Chicago, including one on Thursday afternoon, which the Bears lost in large part because <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-matt-eberflus-explanation-no-timeout-loss-vs-lions">Matt Eberflus failed to take a timeout in the final seconds</a>.</p><p>Multiple players have taken veiled shots at Eberflus over the course of the season, and Keenan Allen <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/42668132/bears-clock-management-handled-right-way" rel="noopener">became the latest to do so</a> on Thursday following Chicago’s 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions.</p><p>“It was tough,” Allen said after the game, per ESPN’s Courtney Cronin. “I feel like we did enough as players to win the game.”</p><p>Allen certainly did enough for the Bears to win the game. Despite coming into the week with some doubt regarding his availability for the Thanksgiving matchup with the Lions, the 32-year-old wideout caught five passes for 73 yards and a pair of touchdowns, his second consecutive game with at least 70 yards and a touchdown.</p><p>Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams did plenty too, setting an NFL rookie record for consecutive pass attempts without an interception in the process of throwing for 256 yards and three touchdowns. For the season, Williams has now thrown for 2,612 yards, 14 touchdowns and just 5 interceptions. And still, the rookie quarterback had the presence of mind to do what Matt Eberflus has repeatedly proven he’s unwilling to do… <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-caleb-williams-takes-accountability-matt-eberflus-late-game-blunder">take any of the blame for Chicago’s loss</a>.</p><p>“My job is to go out there and make plays, my job is to get everybody lined up,” Williams told reporters after the game. “That’s it. Win games. Didn’t do that today.”</p><p>No, the Bears didn’t win the game. But the players <i>did</i> do enough to do so.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
