Caleb Williams steered Chicago through heavy pressure en route to a late-game scoring drive that preserved a Week 4 win over Las Vegas, even with Wright out and protection thin. Rome Odunze has four straight games with a score and is on pace for ~1,200 receiving yards, keeping the Bears in the fantasy spotlight. Tyrique Stevenson has blossomed, delivering a crucial third-quarter pick as Kevin Byard III patrols the secondary and Joe Thuney stabilizes the line, shaping a potential breakthrough run once the left tackle debate between Braxton Jones and Theo Benedet is settled during the bye.

In a blockbuster offseason swap, Green Bay added Micah Parsons from Dallas in return for two first-round picks and Kenny Clark. Chicago answered by upgrading the line with Drew Dalman, Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson, setting the stage for a fierce NFC North rivalry as Week 14 at Lambeau approaches. Dalman’s outlook centers on one-week-at-a-time focus while facing Parsons looms large.

Between Parsons’ disruptive edge and Chicago’s revamped interior, the Bears’ protection game and run approach could reshape the NFC North landscape. Rosters will be evaluated well before their next big clash, underscoring a season’s winding arc toward Green Bay-Chicago clashes.
