It's for real now! The Chicago Bears are one of the best teams in the NFL after their statement 24-15 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on the road on Black Friday.
Chicago rushed for 281 yards and two touchdowns on the ground with two backs rushing for over 100 yards. The defense forced two turnovers and shut down the Eagles' offense to the point of potentially getting their offensive coordinator fired.
It's clear after that game the Bears had way more winners from this game than losers.
Winner: Kyle Monangai & D'Andre Swift, RBs
Let's be honest, Monangai and Swift had to be the biggest winners from this game. Monangai led the way with 130 yards and one touchdown while Swift had 125 yards and one touchdown in the win. It was poetry in motion watching those two backs pound the Eagles on the ground with their stellar performances.
Winner: Nahshon Wright, CB
Wright is becoming a familiar name on this list, but he continues to make big plays every week. Yes, he did get burned on the long touchdown pass to A.J. Brown in the third quarter, but Wright made the biggest play of the game with his strip fumble of Jalen Hurts on fourth and one when the Eagles ran the Tush Push. Wright finished with five tackles and continues to make the Bears feel like they need to make him a big contract offer in the offseason.
Loser: Caleb Williams, QB
If it hadn't been for their statement win on the Eagles, the topic in Chicago would be how bad Williams looked. This was arguably his worst performance of the season, as he completed 17 of 36 passes for 154 yards and one touchdown, with one interception. The off-target throws were at an all-time high as Williams missed on multiple passes. That's going to be a problem in the postseason if he keeps that up.
Winner: Kevin Byard III, S
Another game, another interception for Byard, who is proving to be the best safety in the NFL right now. He finished the game with six tackles, one pass deflection, and his third quarter pick. Get this man into the Pro Bowl as soon as possible!

Winner: Ben Johnson, Head Coach
It feels like Johnson should be on the list every week, but it just feels like he deserves a ton of credit for the win. He managed to outcoach Nick Sirianni, who has won over 70% of the games he's coached, while once again showing that, even when Johnson wants to run the ball, he can adjust on the fly and hand it off for 281 yards. Oh, and he fed all of Chicago hot dogs by going shirtless, so instant winner for that one!
