The expectations have gone from being non-existent at the beginning of the season to now skyrocketing to a potential Super Bowl run for the Chicago Bears.
Chicago went from starting 0-2 to now being 10-4, first in the NFC North, and fighting for the NFC's top seed. It adds to the type of pressure this team hasn't faced since going 12-4 in 2018, when nobody on this current roster was even on the roster.
Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson, coming off his best game of the season with an interception and pass deflection in the 31-3 win over the Cleveland Browns, was asked about being in unfamiliar territory of facing pressure late in the season.
