The Chicago Bears (4-2) have had a roller coaster of a start to the season. But using the bye week to reflect, they are a team on the rise and have improved every week—and now is the perfect time to rest, as multiple key starters on defense have time to get healthy before facing No. 2 overall pick quarterback Jayden Daniels.

The streak continues. In every game this season, the Chicago Bears have held their opponent to 21 points or fewer. They did so in the final six games of last season, too, and own the longest active streak in the NFL at 12 games.

No. The Bears do not play today or this week for that matter. They are on a bye week after having won their last three games. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is improving seemingly every game, having thrown for 687 yards and seven touchdowns during the current win streak.

The Bears are not playing but there will be plenty to watch for Chicago fans considering how other games can impact them, including one NFC North showdown.
