The Chicago Bears' chaotic win on Monday Night Football was not just revenge over the Washington Commanders. This was their third-straight win after starting the season 0-2 and it was the second in a row where Chicago simply found a way to win despite facing adversity.
In years' past, the Bears found ways to lose these games, more often than not. In a game where we saw missed opportunities, killer penalties that paused momentum and a fourth quarter deficit, these Bears proved they weren't the same old, same old.
In fact, they proved so much that one of the league's biggest personalities, Kay Adams, went out of her way to make a massive prediction about these 3-2 Bears:
"They're going to win these next four. What an opportunity ahead of them ... they've got the Saints, the Ravens, the Bengals, the Giants."
Caleb Williams is forcing opinions to change and Bears fans have got to love it
Adams would go on to talk about the Ravens potentially having Lamar Jackson back by the time they face Chicago, but that she still sees this Bears team winning. She mentioned that she did like all four of the Bears' next opponents, for various reasons, but that they're going to win each of them.
"They're going to get to 7-2. I am that excited for Chicago. I am that 'in' on Caleb," she finished.
Ah, there it is. This is the Ben Johnson effect. It's all about Caleb Williams. This Bears team is led by a guy who has faced constant criticism and doubt, but Williams has had himself a fantastic season thus far.
And, we're only five games in. Williams is still getting more and more comfortable within the Ben Johnson offense. As the season progresses, Bears fans can only imagine how much better he is going to look.
It doesn't hurt that three of Chicago's next four opponents rank in the bottom 10 in terms of pass defense, with the Bengals (2nd-worst), Ravens (4th-worst) and Giants (7th-worst). Williams has an opportunity to really take his game to the next level, here.
The fact that a personality as big as Adams is saying she's "in" on Williams is music to Bears fans' ears. That's exactly what this fan base has longed to hear, and for quite some time, from the national media.
It's always been fun for much of the national media to doubt the Bears, or even poke fun at their expense. But, not Adams. She's in on Caleb, just like this fan base should be.
