    It's official. The Chicago Bears are a good football team.

    The Bears took on the Steelers without their starting left tackle on Sunday. All three linebackers were out. Their top two corners and starting nickel back were sidelined. It was next man up to the max.

    And they found a way to win.

    Kenneth Davis and Alex Shapiro broke down everything they saw from the banged up defense, Ozzy Trapilo's first start at a relatively new position, and an impressive performance from Caleb Williams despite iffy accuracy numbers.

    These Bears are 8-3 and it's been a helluva ride, so far. What's next?
