Seven weeks through the NFL season and an unlikely team has popped into the team of the week in the Chicago Bears. The Bears marched into New England on Monday night and totally dominated the Patriots from start to finish as they improved their record to 3-4.
Coming into the night as heavy underdogs, the Bears totally defied the odds by routing the Patriots by a score of 33-14. A team in which their offense has been towards the bottom five in the league totally broke out on Monday night. Just a week ago they put up seven points against the Commanders at home.
The defense supported the offense and took advantage of the quarterback controversy that the Patriots were facing. They knocked Mac Jones out of the game early and only struggled for two drives against Bailey Zappe which in the end did not affect them.
Justin Fields looked like a totally different quarterback than how he had been performing throughout his brief pro career. He looked like the quarterback that the Bears spent a high pick on because they believed he would be their franchise quarterback for years to come.
The Bears really impressed me and sent a message to the rest of the NFL of how well they performed. It is not easy to go into New England against Bill Belichick on primetime and totally dismantle his team, but the Bears did it as they earn team of the week in week 7 of the NFL season.
