Overlooked stats tell the whole story on Bears' road to first place in NFC North

The Chicago Bears are on a roll so far this season, winning six of seven games after starting the year 0-2 within their own division.

Since the Bears' embarrassing Week 2 defeat at the hands of the Lions, the Bears have defined a culture in Chicago behind head coach Ben Johnson. Star quarterback Caleb Williams has shown significant improvement, and the defense has rallied behind defensive coordinator Dennis Allen.

Despite the Bears currently holding first place in the NFC North, they remain 1-2 against division opponents. Bears fans can hold their heads high knowing their team is in first place, but their record alone doesn't reflect how uneven some performances have been in the NFC North.
