Having starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky sidelined with a shoulder injury, Chicago gave the controls to Chase Daniel, who filled in admirably. The Bears’ defense once again displayed their ball-hawking ways and helped the team with their share of scoring. All in all, this fifth win in a row by the Bears further puts everyone on notice that they aren’t waiting for next year to make a splash in the NFL, and can definitely be a threat in the postseason.

With this win, the Bears continue to be at the head of the class in the NFC North, but will their grades for Week 12 reflect the same thing?
