Riding high after three consecutive wins, the Chicago Bears have a surprisingly favorable schedule ahead of them.

NFL Network analyst Stacey Dales has had her finger on the pulse of this team for years, and she said this week that there is an upward trajectory happening around the franchise, and she believes they can make real noise in their next three games.

This is new territory for the Bears. When they take the field Sunday, they will be favored for the first time in 344 days. That was, amazingly, the last time the Bears played a team with a worse record than their own. The Saints are 1-5 and have a -49 point differential — both are the worst marks in the NFC.

D’Andre Swift had his most efficient effort in Week 6. Is the Chicago Bears running game turning a corner? Here are three reasons it might be.

The Bears' game-winning drive was set up by a Jayden Daniels fumble on a hand-off to Jacory Crosley-Merritt with 3:10 left. On third-and-1, Daniels mishandled the exchange, and the Bears recovered at their own 44. D'Andre Swift took over from there, rushing for 34 yards on the final drive to set up Moody's kick.

Former Washington Commanders and current Chicago Bears defensive end Montez Sweat got revenge on his former team late in the first quarter. Sweat punched the ball out on Commanders rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, putting the Bears in Washington territory.

After being sent to the hospital following Monday's win, the Chicago Bears received positive word on their star wide receiver.

Williams is playing better than he did as a rookie, and the Bears are 3-2. He — and they — can keep climbing with a few improvements.
