Head coach Ben Johnson has the team believing in one another and playing until the final seconds tick off the clock, resulting in their late-game wins that now see them sitting atop the NFC North division at the end of Week 11. Af6er the game, wide receiver DJ Moore summed up this Bears team with one word.

The Chicago Bears beat the Minnesota Vikings 19-17 and are now on top of the NFC North at 7-3. Colin Cowherd asks if it’s time to believe in the Bears and Caleb Williams.

Beating Minnesota on the road did little to convince many in the NFL or in Vegas that the Bears are playoff-bound even while they sit alone atop the NFC North.

Despite the Chicago Bears improving to 7-3 with a 19-17 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, some around the NFL are still questioning the connection between first-year head coach Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams.

A wild Week 11 has the Chicago Bears in sole possession of first place in the division under first-year head coach Ben Johnson. The last time Chicago was in first place this late in a season was 2018, the last time the Bears won the NFC North.

Thanks to the last-minute heroics by Devin Duvernay and Cairo Santos, the Bears beat the Vikings Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium to improve to 7-3. In Johnson's first year they have five wins after trailing in the final two minutes, tied for the most by a team since 1970.
