The Chicago Bears are continuing to exceed expectations set not only by national media analysts but also by their own fanbase.
The Bears have found ways to win games since Ben Johnson was hired as head coach this past offseason. In Week 12, they had a chance to continue their season, which many had deemed improbable against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team that hasn't had a single losing season under head coach Mike Tomlin.
It was far from easy, but the Bears held on late in the fourth quarter to defeat the Steelers 31-28 to officially go 8-3 on the season.
