Our Take: The Athletic’s theme for the week for each team is their breakout player. For the Bears, that is obviously quarterback Caleb Williams. He has had his ups and downs this season, but with Ben Johnson at the helm, Williams is showing that he could be a star in the league in short order.

Playing with a heavy heart Sunday following the death of his former college coach John Beam, Bears cornerback Nahshon Wright recorded his fourth interception of the season in a win at Minnesota, saying that Beam "was behind me today.

The Chicago Bears have built this breakthrough season on the simplest and most effective way to win with a work-in-progress quarterback -- a turnover margin that's become the envy of the league.

The Chicago Bears are in first place in the NFC North, and are the three seed of the NFC. @wiltfongjr with the conference standings here:

Chicago's Nahshon Wright played with great heart Sunday following the shooting death of his community college football coach last week.

On Sunday, the Week 11 matchup between the Chicago Bears and the Minnesota Vikings was almost a repeat of the Bears collapse in Week 1, but Ben Johnson's Bears are finally coming into their own.
