The Chicago Bears defeated the New England Patriots 33-14 on Monday Night Football. This was the first time since 2000 that Chicago has had a win over New England. Naturally, their upset over New England shot them up the Week 8 power rankings.
Justin Fields and the Bears’ offense did a total 180, looking like an entirely new team after their seven-point showing against the Washington Commanders in Week 6. It appeared that the embarrassing loss at home struck a nerve, and their 11-day break gave them the time to change things. Whatever they did worked, as they took their biggest win of the season and are now just one game below .500.
