NFL 2025-26 Season

[Moranis]

I have no idea how the Bears are division leaders.  Inconsistent QB play, but worse, more than half their defense is hurt.

Caleb may be inconsistent but he doesn't turn it over and he greatly reduced his sacks this year.  That is how you win close games even when inconsistent. Last year they lost a ton of close games because of poorly timed sacks (his sack rate last year was more than double this year) and coaching errors with clock management.  Just playing cleaner was all they needed to do.

He's definitely improved, but his accuracy is still way off.  Weirdly, he seems to up his play in the clutch.  And yes, having an NFL-level coach has helped the team tremendously.
