And Caleb Williams and the Bears challenge the Lions in the NFC North.
I think they can based on, they gave the Lions some tough games last season.
I look at this Bears team from last year, the defense was really, really good, especially after they, they locked in the Monte Sweat trade.
They were arguably the best defensive football for the final like nine or 10 weeks of the season.
