The Chicago Bears’ Week 9 offensive explosion wasn’t just big on the scoreboard — it could have major fantasy football implications heading into Week 10.

The Bears lost Dayo Odeyingbo for the season and fans are pounding the table for Ryan Poles to trade for an edge rusher.

Caleb Williams' trick plays and huge performance against the Bengals landed the quarterback in the NFL history books alongside Walter Payton.

The Chicago Bears made a bold pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft when they opted to take Michigan standout Colston Loveland, but for much of the first half of the year the tight end struggled to find consistency in Ben Johnson’s offense.

Adjusting to the NFL can be difficult for rookies, but each season, a few stand out almost immediately. Here are five who stood out in Week 9.

The Packers are on top of the North at 5-2-1, followed closely by the Bears and Lions at 5-3 each and the Vikings at 4-4. It's the only division in the NFL in which every team is .500 or better.

The Chicago Bears will definitely not be happy with their defensive play Sunday, but their offense was absolutely on fire against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Chicago Bears enter Week 9's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals with a still-relevant 4-3 record. A fifth win on Sunday will keep hope for a 2025 playoff berth alive, and, potentially, turn GM Ryan Poles into an aggressive buyer over the next few days.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai had 100 rushing yards in the first half of his first NFL start.
