The Chicago Bears (4-2) have had a roller coaster of a start to the season. But using the bye week to reflect, they are a team on the rise and have improved every week—and now is the perfect time to rest, as multiple key starters on defense have time to get healthy before facing No. 2 overall pick quarterback Jayden Daniels.

The Chicago Bears are sitting at 4-2 on the regular season after their third straight win a week ago, but the road ahead is going to be downright devilish for the squad.

No. The Bears do not play today or this week for that matter. They are on a bye week after having won their last three games. Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is improving seemingly every game, having thrown for 687 yards and seven touchdowns during the current win streak.

Following a 35-16 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Bears are on a bye week and will return to the field on Oct. 27 when they face the Washington Commanders in a big Week 8 showdown.

It was with a hearty smile on his face that Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos suggested tight end Cole Kmet deserved an award after Sunday’s 35-16 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Kmet filled in as the long snapper after Scott Daly suffered a left knee injury while covering the team’s second — and final — punt of the game late in the first quarter.
