Watson, now 5‑2 and atop the AFC North, has logged his first 300‑yard game and five game‑winning drives this year. Meanwhile, backup QB Shedeur Sanders sparks trade rumors ahead of the Nov. 10 deadline, with teams like the Giants and Colts showing interest. Landry’s bald bet hinges on the upcoming Nov. 1 rematch with the Steelers.
The Chicago Bears trade for pass‑rusher Jeffery Simmons from the Titans, surrendering several future first‑round picks.

With quarterback Caleb Williams emerging as an MVP candidate and the Bears sitting 5‑2, Chicago next faces the defending champion Seattle Seahawks on Monday.

The Chicago Bears have just sealed a deal for defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons, sending 2027 and 2028 first‑rounders plus a fourth‑round pick to the Titans. Analyst speculation now points to their next target: former Bear Khalil Mack, currently on the Los Angeles Chargers. The article proposes offering the Falcons’ 2027 fifth‑round pick—an asset gained from the Gervon Dexter trade—to reacquire Mack before the Nov. 10 deadline. At 35, Mack could bolster the edge pass rush alongside Montez Sweat while fitting into a managed rotation, and his prior Bears stint yielded 36 sacks (2018‑21).
