The Bears fans have plenty of reasons to be thankful this season.
After starting the season 0-2, they have won nine of their last 10 games and sit at the top of the NFC North. Then, their Thanksgiving weekend became even more joyful when they dominated the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, winning 24-15 on Black Friday.
The Bears fans were treated to even bigger news: the Bears are now the top seed in the NFC after the Carolina Panthers' stunning upset win over the visiting Los Angeles Rams, 31-28.
