9. Chicago Bears (8-3) Previous Week: 11
The Cardiac Bears live to win another week! This team, especially the defense, has been marred by injury, and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Despite coming into the game without five key defensive starters, including both linebackers and two of their three starting cornerbacks, they keep finding ways to stack wins. Is this team a threat to get to the Super Bowl? Probably not, but any time teams find ways to win games (no matter the opponent), it’s not something many teams want to see down the stretch of the regular season. Buckle in, Bears fans, you’re heading into a second week of sole possession in first place.
