Our Take: The Athletic’s theme for the week for each team is their breakout player. For the Bears, that is obviously quarterback Caleb Williams. He has had his ups and downs this season, but with Ben Johnson at the helm, Williams is showing that he could be a star in the league in short order.

Ben Johnson knows they're playing catch-up in the NFC North. Both the Vikings and the Bears will be down a starting linebacker on each side.

After totaling six drops -- four of which belonged to Olamide Zaccheaus -- there's an expectation that a bigger role will emerge for rookie second-round pick Luther Burden III, who's been one of Chicago's best playmakers whenever his number has been called.

The 1985 Chicago Bears are shuffling into a new HBO documentary. HBO announced plans for The Shuffle doc on Thursday (Nov. 13), which will explore the Super Bowl XX champions’ iconic “Super Bowl Shuffle” rap song and memorable music video.

Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears have produced this season yet another example of how good things can indeed come in the NFL for those willing to wait.

The Bears are proving they can win football games despite being without one key defensive starter. Could a trade be coming this offseason?
