Heck, I think Montez Sweat would have been a virtual lock for NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors had he picked up a third sack, but Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolp...

With one game left in November, the Chicago Bears are 8-3. That alone is worth celebrating. Don’t let the opponents’ records bring down the celebration. Don’t let the haters and box score-watchers bring you down. The Bears are in first place in the NFC North. The other teams aren’t because they haven’t won enough games. […]

Well, that was a fun one!
It wasn’t pretty all day on Sunday for the Bears, but again, they were opportunistic on defense, efficient on offense, and when it got close late, they never blinked.
