The Chicago Bears are gearing up for a Week 7 prime-time showdown against the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football, where Chicago is looking to improve to 5-2 in their first of three consecutive prime-time games.
The Bears got massive boosts from the returns of quarterback Caleb Williams and cornerback Kyler Gordon, who were the biggest stars of this game. Chicago scored on their first two possessions of the game, going up 14-0, and looked to be in command early. While the Bears defense was missing three key starters in Montez Sweat, T.J. Edwards and Tyrique Stevenson, they allowed just seven points going into the fourth quarter before starters were pulled and the Falcons mounted a comeback that fell just short. Despite a rough fourth quarter all around, Chicago was able to hang on for their fourth win of the season.
With Week 7 just around the corner, how do the Bears compare to the rest of the NFL this season? Looking at the major metrics, here is where Chicago ranked following Week 6.
