Well, after years of being ignored by everyone in the NFL, the league is suddenly paying attention to the Chicago Bears.
The NFL announced a quick schedule change for the Bears' Week 14 showdown against the Green Bay Packers: they will now play at 3:25 pm CST on FOX. They changed the time of the game as it was originally scheduled for noon CST.
This Bears-Packers game will have more playoff implications, as Chicago is currently 7-3. Green Bay is sitting right behind them with a 6-3-1 record on the season.
Chicago has become the hot ticket in the NFL
After finishing 5-12 a season ago and being one of the most disappointing teams in the NFL, losing 10 of the last 11 games, this Bears team is now one people want to watch. New head coach Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams' improved play have added some excitement to the Windy City.
Chicago started the season 0-2 but has rattled off wins in seven of the last eight games, flexing its muscles in the NFL. The Packers have had an up-and-down season but are still in the running for the NFC North title and the top spot in the NFC.
The Week 14 showdown might be a game the Bears need to show that they can compete with the Packers and Detroit Lions in the NFC North. Chicago has struggled against both teams, including only going 1-4 against them dating back to last year. Their only win against them was against the Packers to close out the regular season last year with a game-winning Cairo Santos field goal.

It might take another game-winning kick from Santos and some of that Williams' magic that has led to five game-winning drives this season to get it done. One thing is noticeable, though: the NFL acknowledges the Bears are must-watch TV.
