Speculation has swirled ever since Rome Odunze made comments about his “new normal” following a foot injury that slowed him for much of the 2025 season.

Hello, Chicago Bears fans! There is a certain argument that purports to be rooted in one of the fundamental laws of statistics, namely regression, that casts doom and gloom upon the horizon of the Chicago Bears, forecasting a return to mediocrity in the 2026 season.
