Bears Legend Brian Urlacher Shocks Fans After Admitting the Steelers Truly Suffered Multiple Disadvantageous Calls From John Hussey’s Officiating Crew in the Bears’ 31–28 Victory

Chicago, Illinois – 11/25/2025

The Chicago Bears escaped Soldier Field with a dramatic 31–28 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, a game filled with emotion, momentum swings, and no shortage of controversy. But as debates raged on across the NFL, one voice rose above the noise — and shocked everyone. Brian Urlacher, the Hall of Famer and one of the most iconic figures in Bears history, publicly acknowledged that Pittsburgh was on the wrong end of several questionable officiating decisions.

In an interview with FOX Chicago, Urlacher stunned viewers by saying the quiet part out loud: the Steelers were disadvantaged at key moments, and the officiating overshadowed what should have been a clean showdown between two physical teams. He emphasized that the Bears earned their win, but the “strange whistles” unquestionably cast a shadow over the game.

Urlacher highlighted at least three moments that troubled him:

  • A harsh roughing-the-passer call that wiped out a huge defensive stop for Pittsburgh

  • A late defensive holding flag that revived a Bears drive that eventually turned into a touchdown

  • A blatant no-call on Darnell Mooney tugging a Steelers defender’s jersey along the sideline

  • Then came the quote that sent shockwaves through the league:

    “I love the Bears more than anyone, but honestly, the Steelers were hit with too many disadvantages. Some of those calls made me rewind the screen two or three times to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. If I were in their shoes, I’d be frustrated — and maybe even start asking bigger questions about how this game was officiated.”

    Urlacher’s bold admission ignited immediate reaction. ESPN analysts began replaying and dissecting every controversial snap. Many agreed that Pittsburgh had regained offensive rhythm in key moments, only for questionable penalties to halt everything on the spot.

    Mason Rudolph played his best game of the season, repeatedly pushing the Steelers toward scoring range, but the team ultimately ran into a familiar opponent: inconsistent officiating.

    Head coach Mike Tomlin tried to remain composed at the podium, but his expression told a different story.

    The Bears still earned the win, and Urlacher made sure to emphasize that. But he also made it clear that this is not how the NFL wants a game to be remembered.

    And when the most respected legend in Bears history feels compelled to speak up, it’s obvious the story isn’t over.
    Steelers Nation is outraged — and the NFL will be pressed harder than ever for answers.

    Just 12 Hours After Bears Stadium Project Halted Amid Scandal, CEO Kevin Warren Speaks Out Taking Full Responsibility — Sends 10-Word Message to Bears Community and Vows to Fix All Damage
    Chicago, Illinois – December 18, 2025 Less than 12 hours after the Chicago Bears’ proposed new stadium project was forced into a halt amid a document-leak scandal, CEO Kevin Warren stepped before the media to accept personal responsibility and deliver a brief but weighty message to the Bears community. The swift response came as Halas Hall continued to reel from the off-field fallout that has shaken the organization. According to multiple sources, the pause in the project followed the release of internal materials tied to timelines, financial structures, and governance processes, raising serious concerns about transparency. Team owner George McCaskey ordered a comprehensive review. Warren, for his part, chose to confront the crisis head-on — a move widely viewed as necessary at a moment when fan trust has been stretched to its limits. Speaking publicly, Warren avoided deflection or excuses. Instead, he issued a statement of exactly 10 words, widely seen as his first direct apology since the scandal surfaced: “We failed you, we rebuild trust and make this right.” The message spread quickly throughout the Bears community. For many fans, its impact wasn’t in the word count, but in the acknowledgment of fault and the emphasis on restoring trust — a foundational value for a franchise defined by tradition and legacy. Following the statement, Warren pledged to repair all damage, including cooperating with independent reviews, auditing internal processes, and rebuilding the project’s roadmap under stricter transparency standards. He also stressed that every future step would be taken under close oversight from team leadership and ownership. Amid the developments, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell offered remarks that carried clear weight and implied pressure — a message many interpreted as a subtle warning from the league: “The NFL is built on accountability, and when that accountability is questioned, we will not look away,” Goodell said. “Moments like this demand clarity from those at the top — and for Kevin Warren, how he confronts this moment will say a great deal. This isn’t just about addressing a problem, but about whether an organization chooses to protect trust… or lose it.” The timing of Warren’s response was deliberate. The Bears are showing signs of on-field revival, and leadership is determined not to let behind-the-scenes turmoil derail that momentum. For fans across Chicago, the central question now extends beyond blame — it is whether trust can truly be rebuilt. The road ahead for the stadium project remains uncertain. But within 12 hours of the scandal breaking, the Bears sent a clear signal: responsibility has been acknowledged, league scrutiny is real — and what the organization does next will define everything.
