After a resounding 24-15 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, the current Super Bowl champions, Ben Johnson&#8217;s team has proven its worth.\n\nThe Bears have won nine of their last ten games, solidifying themselves as the second seed in the National Conference (NFC).\n\nThe running back D&#8217;Andre Swift, after the triumph, declared: &#8220;We are real&#8221;.\n\nThe team, which previously avoided talking about playoffs, now embraces the possibility.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>We should trust ourselves. We must not shy away from anything. We are on a roll and we can keep improving. That&#8217;s what we should think about [the playoffs]. We have a lot of dogs in the locker room and things like that, and that&#8217;s the trend we&#8217;re following, and we&#8217;re changing the culture. That&#8217;s how we should think.<\/p><cite>Jaquan Brisker, Bears safety<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe post-game celebration included coach Johnson taking off his shirt and the promise of free hot dogs from a local restaurant.\n\nThe Bears&#8217; ground attack was key, with Swift and Kyle Monangai leading the way. They achieved the second-best mark of the season in rushing yards (281).\n\nSwift and Monangai, each with a touchdown, made history. It was the first time since 1985 that the Bears had two running backs with more than 100 yards in a game.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a4.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F1128%2Fr1582101_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Los Bears avanzaron al segundo puesto de la NFC con la victoria del viernes en Filadelfia, marcando su novena victoria en sus \u00faltimos 10 partidos.\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Los Bears avanzaron al segundo puesto de la NFC con la victoria del viernes en Filadelfia, marcando su novena victoria en sus \u00faltimos 10 partidos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nMonangai highlighted the importance of each possession and the need to score.\n\nThe Chicago defense, with a record of 24 ball recoveries, faced an Eagles offense that had made few mistakes.\n\nKevin Byard had an interception, and Nahshon Wright forced a fumble on an Eagles &#8220;tush push&#8221; attempt.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Personally, and the defense, we take it as a challenge. I looked at the stats before. Jalen only threw one interception this season, so I took it as a challenge to try to get one. You can even watch the film on mine, I had to really go after it, and [Wright] made an incredible play to take the ball away and recover it on the tush push. We talk about that being the reason why we&#8217;re the best in the league at taking the ball away.<\/p><cite>Kevin Byard, Bears safety<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe Bears&#8217; defense featured the return of Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon, who provided solidity.\n\nGordon, after experiencing three losing seasons, sees in these victories the confirmation of the team&#8217;s goals.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I think you can see by the way we&#8217;re finishing each game that we haven&#8217;t finished. I think we have future plans to be somewhere past February, so that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re really looking for.<\/p><cite>Kyler Gordon, Bears cornerback<\/cite><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Chicago Bears are ready for the postseason!
