Every player who enters the NFL has the goal to win the Super Bowl, but that drive to do it with the Chicago Bears is just different.
It's been since the 80s that the Bears last won a Super Bowl, and they haven't been in it since the 2006 season, when they lost to the Indianapolis Colts. The vibes are different in 2026, as there is hope that head coach Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams are the guys who will get the franchise back to the Super Bowl and win it. Johnson made it clear to the media that Williams' mindset is all about winning it all.
"He wants to win here in Chicago, and he wants to win Super Bowls," Johnson said via 104.3 The Score's Chris Emma. "That's really his motivating factor. He's been really clear and consistent with that message over the last year-and-a-half that I've gotten to know him. In order to do that, that's what we're pursuing. His portion of that is to be the best leader this team can get from the quarterback position, excel this offense to the next level, be a good, supportive teammate throughout the whole thing. He continues to make significant strides. I'm very happy with where he's at."
Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams are here to win a Super Bowl for the Bears
Last year was a good indication that things are very different in Chicago with this Bears team, after the team won a playoff game for the first time in over 10 years. Despite the offense being young, the Bears proved this team has the potential to win it all if given enough time.
Arguably, this year's team is even better with the young guys now one more year older and entering the prime of their careers. Williams is only going to get better as a quarterback and is already making insane throws most players at his position can't make.
The talent level on this roster is crazy as well, with guys like D'Andre Swift, Kyle Monangai, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, Colston Loveland, and Cole Kmet all having the skill set to make this offense roll. It helps to have a top-five offensive line led by Protector of the Year Joe Thuney.

Some might be worried about Williams being more focused on his Madden cover or his business ventures off the field, but he is proving that when his cleats hit the field, whether it's practice or a real game, he's got the focus to win the game. This thing will eventually end in a Super Bowl, and Bears fans can't wait to see it.
