The Chicago Bears have only made the playoffs twice since losing the NFC Championship Game in 2011. The hope is that the arrival of Caleb Williams is going to finally bring playoff success to the Windy City.
The fact that the Bears have a winning record through seven games and 26 percent chance to make the postseason by The Athletic's projections in Week 9 is a good start.
To increase those odds, the Bears are going to have to win some toss-up games and spring an upset or two. This week's game against the Cardinals is a great example as The Athletic gives them a 49 percent chance of winning.
