Will the Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams actually win the NFC North? Has Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson been frustrated with their floundering offense? What does Aaron Rodgers’ wrist injury mean for the Pittsburgh Steelers? And will the Kansas City Chiefs actually miss the postseason?

Scoop City returns with a deep dive into the surprising Chicago Bears. Ben Johnson’s group is currently leading a highly competitive division in his first year at the helm. The Athletic’s senior NFL insider Dianna Russini and co-host James Palmer discuss whether the Bears’ success is sustainable for the remainder of the season.

Aaron Rodgers suffered a fractured wrist in Week 11 against the Bengals, putting his status for Week 12 against the Bears in question. The Steelers quarterback is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. Russini and Palmer share the latest on Rodgers.

The Philadelphia Eagles' offense has struggled all season, leaving star players like A.J. Brown frustrated with the team’s production. But the Minnesota Vikings' offense has experienced similar struggles without the same level of team success. So why hasn’t Justin Jefferson expressed similar frustration with the Vikings offense? They discuss.

The Kansas City Chiefs' AFC West championship streak isn't the only thing in jeopardy as Thanksgiving nears. A matchup with the high-powered Indianapolis Colts looms, and a loss could spell trouble for Patrick Mahomes' playoff hopes.

And as we enter Week 12, Palmer shares 12 of the biggest surprises of the 2025 NFL season — from surprise No. 1 seeds to record-breaking field goals to the Cowboys’ sack total. You won’t want to miss this list.
