Why Bears’ young core is aligned for sustained success with Caleb Williams

The Chicago Bears arrive at the postseason at a moment that feels both overdue and perfectly timed.

Make no mistake about it, this isn't a roster stumbling into January. It's a roster arriving with intention, structure, and clarity, led by the exact player they envisioned when they turned in the card for Caleb Williams at No. 1 overall in 2024.

Wild Card Weekend is his first taste of playoff football, and that matters. It matters for Williams, for head coach Ben Johnson, and for an organization that has spent years trying to align quarterback, coaching, and roster construction on the same timeline.
