While the Bears enter Week 12 with a 7-3 record, the final seven weeks of the season will prove if they're actual playoff contenders.

The Chicago Bears might already be there. And as Ben Johnson's system continues to evolve with Caleb Williams, there may be no cap on how far this team can go in 2025.

The Chicago Bears have turned into the NFL’s most exciting team, with quarterback Caleb Williams leading a string of dramatic fourth-quarter comebacks that reflect the thrilling, parity-driven vision of late commissioner Paul Tagliabue.

With a last-gasp victory over the Minnesota Vikings, the Bears notched a fourth-quarter comeback for the fifth time this season. It’s a remarkable record—and one that suggests their winning season might be completely unsustainable.

Kickoff from US Bank Stadium is set for 1 p.m. ET on FOX. The Vikings are 2.5-point favorites, according to the latest Bears vs. Vikings odds. The over/under for total points scored is 47.5.
