Nov. 14, 2025, 6:30 AM EST / Updated Nov. 14, 2025, 9:59 AM ESTBy Rohan NadkarniAmong the quirks and shames that come with being a Chicago Bears fan, there is one fact about the team that is as hard to sit with as a shot of Malört: In the entire history of the franchise, the Bears have never had a 4,000-yard passer.Even as their divisional rivals seem to trot out gunslinger after gunslinger — Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff and Daunte Culpepper, to name a few — and despite all the rule changes to make the sport more passing friendly, Chicago has never had a quarterback top that mark.That finally might change this season.Caleb Williams runs the ball into the end zone Sunday during a game against the Giants.Todd Rosenberg / Getty ImagesCaleb Williams, the first overall pick in the 2024 draft, has not only overcome an 0-2 start to put the Bears in playoff position, but through nine games is on pace to throw for 4,035 yards. This would shatter the current franchise high of 3,838 yards thrown by Erik Kramer in 1995.More importantly — or maybe not, considering how desperate Chicago fans are to finally enjoy what literally every other NFL team already has — Williams isn’t only racking up empty stats in a losing effort. After a win over the New York Giants in Week 10, the Bears are 6-3, in playoff position and tied with the Detroit Lions for first place in the NFC North.That means Chicago isn’t only chucking the ball downfield, but it also has a chance to play for its first division title since 2018.“We understand the urgency that’s at hand,” Bears coach Ben Johnson said in a Monday press conference when asked about the playoff race.Johnson, who last season was the offensive coordinator drawing up trick plays for the Detroit Lions, was hired in large part to develop Williams and modernize the team’s offense.He added: “We know where we are in the NFC right now. But I think the biggest thing and the message to the group is that we’re a 6-3 team right now that’s looking to get to 7-3.”To get to 7-3, the Bears will need to avenge a loss from Week 1, as they’ll play a Minnesota Vikings team that overcame a 10-point deficit to beat Chicago to start the season. For Williams, the rematch with the Vikings is an opportunity to show how far he’s come since September.The Bears have won six of their last seven games, and after blowing a lead to Minnesota, Chicago has turned the tables on its opponents. Williams has led four fourth-quarter comebacks and game-winning drives in the team’s six wins, including three on the road.After pulling off perhaps the wildest win of any team this season against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9, Williams followed up with a comeback against the Giants in Week 10, leading two touchdown drives in the fourth quarter to erase a 20-10 deficit.“Towards the end of the game, it’s time to go win the game and you just get in that mode,” Williams told reporters Wednesday about his success late in games. “Defenses have shown you throughout the game what they’ve game-planned for you, so you get into a rhythm and a flow toward the end of the game, and the mindset changes in the sense of we have no other option at that point other than to score and fight and fight and fight, and that’s what we do and what we’ve done.”Williams added: “We do want to showcase, and I want to showcase throughout the whole game that we can play all 60 minutes and put up points and the defense can hold their offense, and we can start steamrolling. But until that happens, we’re going to keep winning games whichever way we need.”In addition to what he’s done with his arm — again, on pace to make Bears history! — Williams has also spurred comebacks with his legs, both with his scrambling and his ability to keep plays alive.Williams leads the NFL in time to throw this season, the only quarterback who has taken at least 10 snaps to average over three seconds in the pocket. Williams takes his time, but not at the expense of sacks — he’s been sacked only 14 times in nine games after taking a whopping 68 last season.He’s also run for three touchdowns so far this year, including the game-winner against New York.“That’s the beauty behind what we have going right now is, as a coaching staff, we try to get that primary receiver open as much as we can,” Johnson said. “Sometimes the defense doesn’t cooperate with you. And so Caleb knows that if we can’t get one to two or if he’s feeling the pressure, he can still make us right and we can still have a good place. So, I think it’s a cool thing about where we’re at right now.”While the offensive improvement is exciting, the game against Minnesota will be the first in a series of tests for Chicago in the season’s home stretch, tests that should reveal if the Bears are serious competition for the NFC’s heavyweights.There are reasons to doubt Chicago. Four of its last five wins have come in one-score games, a combined margin of victory of 11 points in those four contests. The Bears’ strength of victory is .272, second worst in the NFL.Meanwhile, Chicago is only now getting to the hard part of its schedule. Among the Bears’ remaining opponents are the Lions (6-3), two games against the Green Bay Packers (5-3-1), longtime foe Rodgers and his new team the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4), the Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) and the San Francisco 49ers (6-4).But if Williams can stay on his historic throwing pace and lead Chicago to the playoffs against some of the best teams in the league? Then for Bears fans, the wait may have been worth it.CORRECTION (Nov. 14, 2025, 9:54 a.m. ET): An earlier version of this article misstated the order in which Williams was drafted. He was the first overall pick, not the second.Rohan NadkarniRohan Nadkarni is a sports reporter for NBC News.

Sept. 23, 2025, 3:05 PM EDTBy Doha MadaniJimmy Kimmel broke his silence after his brief suspension from the airwaves, posting a picture to Instagram on Tuesday of a Hollywood figure who once described himself as being on President Richard Nixon’s “enemies list.”Kimmel shared a photo of himself and Norman Lear, the television producer who was best known for his progressive activism. Lear died in 2023 at age 101. The late-night host captioned the photo, which features his arm around Lear, “Missing this guy today.” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” is set to return to ABC on Tuesday night after the network suspended the show over what it described as “ill-timed” comments from Kimmel on the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. During his Sept. 15 show, Kimmel criticized some Republicans for how they were responding to Kirk’s killing.“The MAGA gang [is] desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said during his monologue. Disney’s ABC said last week that it was pre-empting Kimmel’s show “indefinitely” following threats of regulatory action from Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr. Many, including a handful of celebrities, expressed outrage toward ABC for choosing to pull Kimmel’s show following Carr’s threats.After increasing public pressure and calls to boycott, Disney announced Monday that Kimmel would return to late night. In its announcement, the company did not address the concerns that Kimmel’s freedom of speech rights had been violated.Hollywood rallies behind Kimmel, while Trump and supporters cheer suspension03:08Kimmel had not spoken publicly about the suspension since it happened.The late-night host has described Lear as one of his idols. Lear developed now-beloved sitcoms such as “All in the Family” “Good Times,” “The Jeffersons” and “One Day at a Time.” His work was defined by being unafraid to tackle social issues long considered taboo. Over six decades, Lear’s work took up racism, sexism, the women’s liberation movement, antisemitism, abortion, homophobia, the Vietnam War and class conflict. Lear said his work put him on Nixon’s “enemies list” because he was angry about Lear “glorifying” homosexuality on TV, according to Smithsonian magazine. He appeared delighted to learn of Nixon’s reaction to his work after a tape leaked of the president ranting about “All in the Family.” “I thought it was delicious that in the Oval Office — I didn’t care for what he was saying, I didn’t care for that particular president in any shape, way or form — but to hear the president and his confederates talking about that show and at some length, reasoning about it and comparing it to the Greek civilization, that could not have been more interesting,” he told Talking Points Memo in 2015.In a 2016 interview with “Democracy Now!” Lear compared Nixon’s rant about his show in the leaked tapes to being “Trumpish.” He also said that he remembered his civics education as a child, which taught him that he was protected by the Founding Fathers. “But when I was a boy, I learned to love my Declaration of Independence — and I underline ‘my’ — and my Constitution and my Bill of Rights, because they were the protections Americans needed in a free society where everybody is equal under the law,” Lear said at the time.Doha MadaniDoha Madani is a senior breaking news reporter for NBC News.

Nov. 3, 2025, 5:00 AM ESTBy Erika EdwardsTaking melatonin for long periods of time could be a sign of underlying heart problems.Long-term use of the popular over-the-counter sleep aid has been linked to a higher risk of heart failure and early death in adults with insomnia, according to research released Monday.There’s no evidence that melatonin supplements themselves cause heart problems, the researchers said. But a need to take them on a regular basis to help with falling and staying asleep could be a signal that the body is experiencing cardiac issues.“Insomnia can increase blood pressure, stress hormones and inflammation,” said Dr. Ekenedilichukwu Nnadi, lead author of the new study and an internal medicine resident at SUNY Downstate/Kings County Primary Care in New York City.Nnadi and colleagues looked at five years of electronic health records from 130,828 adults, average age 56, finding that people who took melatonin regularly for at least a year were nearly twice as likely to develop heart failure compared to those who didn’t use the supplement, though the actual rates were relatively low: 4.6% of people in the melatonin group developed heart failure, compared to 2.7% among those who didn’t take melatonin.They were more than three times as likely to be hospitalized for the condition (19% versus 6.6%), and nearly twice as likely to die during the study period, compared to people who didn’t take melatonin regularly.It’s unclear, however, whether the data captured outcomes of all people in the U.S. who take melatonin long term. Researchers identified people as chronic users of melatonin based on medical records only — that is, if they’d been prescribed the supplement. In the U.S., the supplement is available over the counter and isn’t often reflected in medical records.“I caution people against drawing concrete conclusions based on this study alone,” said Dr. Nishant Shah, a preventive cardiologist at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, who wasn’t involved with the study. “But now that we have this observation, this is prime time to figure out whether there’s actually a direct association of harm with sleep agents. That would be practice-changing.”Nnadi’s research is scheduled to be presented in New Orleans at an upcoming meeting of the American Heart Association. It has not been published in a peer-reviewed journal.Heart failure occurs when the heart can’t pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the body’s organs for them to function properly. Nearly 7 million Americans have the condition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.While the study found that long-term melatonin use was an indicator of potential heart problems — and not causing the problems itself — experts agreed more research is needed into the supplements’ possible side effects.“We have patients using all kinds of supplements without understanding the risks,” said Dr. Martha Gulati, a preventive cardiologist and the incoming director of the Davis Women’s Heart Center at Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart and Vascular Institute in Texas. “If there is harm from a supplement, it means the cost could be far more than simply expensive urine.” Gulati was not involved with the new study.Melatonin is a hormone made naturally by the body that helps regulate sleep and wake cycles. Synthetic versions, sold widely over the counter as dietary supplements, are marketed to help people fall asleep faster or overcome jet lag. Because supplements aren’t regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, doses and purity can vary widely among brands.Use of the supplement has increased in recent years. A 2022 Sleep Foundation survey found that up to 27% of U.S. adults take melatonin, as well as 4% of kids. The new study didn’t include children.People taking melatonin for sleep for more than a year should talk with their doctor, experts said.“People should be aware that it should not be taken chronically without a proper indication,” Marie-Pierre St-Onge, director of the Center of Excellence for Sleep & Circadian Research at Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York, said in a press release. St-Onge was not involved with the new research.Erika EdwardsErika Edwards is a health and medical news writer and reporter for NBC News and “TODAY.”
