Matthew Roberts+FollowThe NFC Is Pure Chaos: Bears Fall From #1 to #7, Lions at 8–5 Aren’t Even InNothing in the NFC is settled. Absolutely nothing. The Chicago Bears went into the week as the #1 seed in the NFC. After losing to the Packers… they instantly dropped all the way to #7. That’s how tight the conference is right now. And somehow, the 8–5 Detroit Lions — a record that would be comfortably in the postseason most years — aren’t even in the playoff picture at the moment. Every loss flips the bracket. Every win launches a team 3–4 spots up. The entire conference is basically one giant traffic jam. With a few weeks left, this playoff race is going to get messy. Expect dramatic shuffling all the way to Week 18. Good luck predicting the NFC. Nobody can. #NFL #NFC #Bears #Lions #Packers #PlayoffRace #NFLStandings #FootballTalk20Share
Pamela Owens+FollowThe Bears Went From 24th in Rushing to 1st in the NFLFour weeks into the season, the Bears were sitting at 24th in rushing, barely cracking 100 yards a game. Fast-forward to now — after dropping 281 rushing yards on the Eagles (their second 280+ yard game this year) — Chicago suddenly leads the entire league in rushing at 153.8 YPG. This Bears run game came out of nowhere… #NFL #Bears #KyleMonangai #ChicagoBears #RunGame #NFLTalk #Football142Share
Brandy Rodriguez+FollowBears Drop 281 Rushing Yards on Fangio’s Defense — Most Allowed Since 2005The Chicago Bears just put up 281 rushing yards on the Eagles — and that number is historic. It’s the most rushing yards a Vic Fangio defense has allowed since he became Philly’s DC (previous high was 174)… and actually the most given up by any Fangio defense since 2005, back when he was the Texans’ coordinator. Did the Bears expose a real flaw in Fangio’s system, or was this just one of those outlier games? #NFL #Bears #Eagles #VicFangio #KyleMonangai #RushingAttack #FootballTalk30Share
David Howard+FollowCaleb Williams Logged 4 Carries at 20+ MPH This SeasonAccording to NextGenStats, Caleb Williams already has 4 carries this season that hit 20+ MPH — a speed level usually reserved for running backs. The only players with more such carries this season are Jonathan Taylor and Jahmyr Gibbs. It’s wild for a QB. It helps explain why he sometimes looks almost unsackable in the pocket or when he breaks containment. Do you think Caleb’s elite straight-line speed makes him one of the most dangerous dual-threat QBs in the league right now? #NFL #Bears #CalebWilliams #QBRun #FootballTalk 40Share
Logan Scott+FollowThe Bears Finally Have a Positive Point Differential This SeasonFor the first time all year, the Chicago Bears are in the positive on point differential — sitting at +6 after Week 13. Here’s how wild the week-by-week swing has been: Week 1: –3 Week 2: –34 Week 3: –17 Week 4: (BYE) Week 5: –16 Week 6: –15 Week 7: –3 Week 8: –17 Week 9: –12 Week 10: –8 Week 11: –6 Week 12: –3 Week 13: +6 Slowly… very slowly… but the arrow is finally pointing up in Chicago. #NFL #Bears #ChicagoBears #NFLStats #FootballTalk 61Share
James Allen+FollowCan Caleb Williams Become the Bears’ First 4,000-Yard Passer?Caleb Williams has 2,722 passing yards through 12 games (Week 13). That means he needs 1,278 yards in the next 5 games — an average of 255.6 per game — to become the first QB in Bears history to hit 4,000 yards in a season. Here’s the remaining schedule: Week 14: @ Packers Week 15: vs Browns Week 16: vs Packers Week 17: @ 49ers Week 18: vs Lions The Browns (top-3 pass defense) and Packers (top-10) make this a rough stretch. The Lions and 49ers are more manageable, but still not easy. Do you think he gets there? #NFL #Bears #CalebWilliams #NFLTalk #ChicagoBears71Share
Nicholas Buchanan+FollowOne of These NFC Contenders Has to Miss the Playoffs — Who Is It?The NFC North and NFC West are stacked right now. Six teams already have 7+ wins, but only five can get in — even if all three wild cards come from these two divisions. Here are the records: NFC North • Bears — 8–3 • Packers — 7–3–1 • Lions — 7–4 NFC West • Rams — 9–2 • Seahawks — 8–3 • 49ers — 8–4 One of these teams is guaranteed to miss the postseason. So… who’s the odd one out, and why? Is it schedule strength? Injuries? Regression? Bad matchups down the stretch? Drop your pick — this finish is going to be wild. #NFL #PlayoffRace #NFC #Bears #Packers #Lions #Rams #Seahawks #49ers #NFLDiscussion1211Share
