The Chicago Bears have quietly become one of the league’s most disciplined, self-aware football teams, and they enter Week 13 at 8-3 with complete control over their identity.
For head coach Ben Johnson, the trip into Philadelphia for a marquee Black Friday matchup won’t require Chicago to reinvent itself, or ask Caleb Williams to play beyond his current stage of development, instead, the Bears simply need their young quarterback to embrace what has already helped deliver wins: patience, clean decisions, and taking the profitable plays before hunting the explosive ones.
Williams can make the difference in the Eagles game if he stays true to his play
For Williams, the matchup isn’t about proving he can carry the franchise on his shoulders and outperforming his counterpart, Jalen Hurts, on a national stage.
