Caleb Williams and the Bears have certainly earned their bye week. The 2024 No. 1 draft pick has led Chicago to three straight victories — by a combined score of 95-44 — and the Chi is suddenly right in the thick of a loaded NFC North race.
Only 10 teams in the entire NFL have scored more points than the Bears, and only five squads have averaged more points over their past three games. Williams now sits back near the top of the Rookie of the Year odds, hovering between +155 and +165 on most sportsbooks.
Now Matt Eberflus’s team has a chance to rest up and prepare for perhaps the greatest challenge of Williams’ young career: a battle with fellow Rookie of the Year candidate Jayden Daniels and the Commanders in the nation’s capital.
