In the aftermath of the Chicago Bears’ tight 20-17 Divisional Round loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the frozen winds of Soldier Field reignited a long-simmering debate about the franchise’s future home. Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher didn’t hesitate to weigh in. He blasted the idea of the Bears abandoning outdoor football for an indoor stadium. Speaking on a national sports talk show, Urlacher was blunt. “No one wants to go there in the winter. It’s cold as hell,” he said. "No one wants to go there in the winter. It's cold as hell… Our fans love it."@BUrlacher54 is not a fan of the Bears' plans to move indoors. pic.twitter.com/hhUmsqVQOd — Jim Rome (@jimrome) January 19, 2026 But for the longtime defensive anchor, that discomfort is precisely the point. “Our fans love it,” he added, framing Chicago’s brutal conditions as both identity and advantage. That sentiment aligns neatly with how the Bears’ 2025 season unfolded. Under first-year head coach Ben Johnson, Chicago rebounded from an 0-2 start to finish 11-6. They captured their first NFC North title since 2018. Quarterback Caleb Williams delivered a breakout campaign. He set franchise records for passing yards and touchdowns. At the same time, a takeaway-hungry defense powered a postseason run that included a historic Wild Card comeback in freezing temperatures. That victory sent Chicago to the Divisional Round, though they fell short in overtime against the Rams. Yet even as the Bears showed a lot of promise, uncertainty now looms. Team president Kevin Warren confirmed in December that the franchise is exploring stadium options beyond Illinois. This includes northwest Indiana. The city of Gary has unveiled conceptual renderings for a domed stadium district near the I-80/I-94 corridor. Meanwhile, Hammond and Wolf Lake remain in the mix. No decision is imminent. However, Urlacher’s message was unmistakable. For him, Bears football belongs in the cold, where discomfort becomes culture and winter remains part of the intimidation factor.

Momentum shifted in the third quarter when Miami running back Mark Fletcher Jr. broke loose for a 57-yard touchdown run, cutting the deficit to 10–7 and injecting life into the Hurricanes. Indiana answered with a pivotal special teams play. Defensive lineman Mikail Kamara blocked a Hurricanes punt late in the third quarter, and linebacker Isaiah Jones recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown, pushing the lead to 17–7. The Hurricanes closed the gap again early in the fourth quarter with a methodical drive capped by a 3-yard touchdown run from Fletcher, trimming the score to 17–14. The defining sequence followed on fourth-and-5 from the 12-yard line, when Cignetti kept the offense on the field. Fernando Mendoza took a designed run, broke multiple tackles, and dove across the goal line for a 12-yard touchdown to extend the lead to 24–14. The Hurricanes mounted one final push. Carson Beck led a 91-yard drive that ended with a touchdown to Malachi Toney, making it a 24–21 game midway through the fourth quarter. Indiana responded by draining the clock and settling for a 35-yard field goal by Nico Radicic with 1:42 remaining. Miami’s last possession ended when Indiana defensive back Jamari Sharpe intercepted Beck with 44 seconds left, sealing the championship. Despite being outgained in total yards, Indiana controlled time of possession, avoided turnovers, and delivered the defining plays in decisive moments. The victory secured Indiana football’s first national championship and cemented a season that will define the program for generations.

Notre Dame football returned to the national spotlight Monday night for a lighter moment that quickly gained traction online. Fighting Irish fans widely shared Marcus Freeman’s response to a joke made by Pat McAfee on College GameDay, highlighting the head coach’s calm demeanor and reinforcing the program’s steady public image during the offseason. Prior to the Miami Hurricanes vs. Indiana Hoosiers College Football Playoff National Championship game, Freeman was a guest analyst on ESPN’s College GameDay. During the broadcast, McAfee made a joking reference about avoiding fights, an allusion to a recent allegation involving Freeman that authorities later dismissed. Freeman did not hesitate. He responded with a single word that drew laughter from the set and viewers alike. The exchange landed smoothly and reflected the composed approach Notre Dame has leaned on throughout a closely watched offseason. Irish Sports Daily’s Matt Freeman shared the clip on X (formerly known as Twitter), posting the exchange as it quickly circulated among Fighting Irish supporters and the broader college football audience. Pat McAfee: “We don’t do any fighting….” Marcus Freeman: “Alleged.” pic.twitter.com/s7YiZOlMaK — Matt Freeman (@mattfreeman05_) January 19, 2026 The joke stemmed from an incident earlier this month at a youth wrestling event involving Freeman’s son. A local coach accused Freeman of pushing him following a match, but the St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office reviewed police reports and video evidence before declining to file charges. Notre Dame later released a statement confirming that Freeman never physically engaged with anyone and that the matter was closed. That context made Freeman’s response resonate even more. Rather than deflect or react defensively, the Notre Dame head coach leaned into humor while keeping the moment brief and controlled. The exchange reinforced why Freeman continues to earn national respect, even as the Fighting Irish narrowly missed the College Football Playoff. With the situation resolved, Notre Dame has turned its attention fully toward roster management and offseason preparation. The transfer portal window continues to shape the program’s direction, while Freeman’s appearance on College GameDay served as a reminder of his growing presence on college football’s biggest stages.
