The Chicago Bears started the season as that little team that hoped to win a few games and gain respectability. Head coach Ben Johnson was in his first year and his primary job was preparing quarterback Caleb Williams to compete in the toughest division in the NFL. Johnson wanted to raise Williams' level of play after a difficult rookie season that saw the Bears finish with a 5-12 record and in last place in the NFC North.

Approaching .500 appeared to be the goal for the Bears , but that assessment was wrong. After losing the first two games of the season, the Bears have won 9 of 10 games and are in first place by 1/2 game over the Green Bay Packers following their Week 13 Black Friday victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
