The Chicago Bears currently hold a 4-2 record after their bye week, raising optimism for a potential 10-win season.

Their offense has shown significant improvement, now ranking sixth in EPA per play since Week 4, outperforming teams like the 49ers and Bengals.

Defensively, the Bears have been strong, allowing the third-lowest EPA per play and leading the league with a low missed-tackle percentage of 9%.

With a +6 turnover margin, the Bears are tied for the fourth-best in the league, showcasing their ability to capitalize on opponents' mistakes.

Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has demonstrated significant growth, gaining better command of the offense and achieving the third-best completion percentage in the league over the past three weeks.

In fact, Williams has recorded the second-best passer rating in the league during this span, indicating his rapid development.

His success is further supported by the improvement of the offensive line, which has contributed to the team's overall performance.

As a rookie, Williams is often throwing to his second or third reads, a commendable feat for a player in his first six games.

Looking ahead, the Bears have upcoming games against struggling teams, including the Commanders, Cardinals, and Patriots, which could provide opportunities to build on their current momentum.

The next game against the Washington Commanders is viewed as a toss-up, but the Bears' recent performance suggests they could secure a win.

The Bears' schedule has been favorable, with no divisional rivals until later in the season, allowing them to focus on building their record.

To secure a playoff spot, the Bears will need to perform well in their six divisional games, particularly against rivals like Green Bay.
