The Bears continued their winning ways on Sunday, defeating the Steelers 31-28 in a tight matchup that saw Chicago improve to 8-3 in front of their home crowd.

I hope Montez Sweat gets serious consideration for NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his efforts in the Chicago Bears’ Week 12 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Sweat stuffed the stat sheet to the tune of 2 sacks, 3 solo tackles, 3 tackles-for-loss, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery, and 2 quarterback hits. 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.
Despite being shorthanded for what seems like the entirety of the season defensively, that unit never backs down. Whenever the offense makes a mistake, they almost always seem to bounce back and not let those mistakes add up.
Coaching matters a whole lot in the NFL, and the Bears have been...
