Chicago Bears (11) <\/strong>-At the start of the season, Caleb Williams\u2019s stock was as low as it could possibly be. He shouldered the blame for his sack-filled rookie campaign, his leadership and processing abilities were in question, and there was plenty of skepticism about how he\u2019d fit into head coach Ben Johnson\u2019s system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Williams has put an end to all the doubt now. Chicago is an 11-win team with one of the league\u2019s most exciting offenses, and Williams has led the Bears to victories against two NFC contenders, Green Bay and Philadelphia, in the past four weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Chicago isn\u2019t as talented as the other teams with double-digit wins, but Williams has elevated this team\u2014and proved why he was the top pick in the 2024 draft while giving Bears fans legitimate hope for the first time in decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"8.
