US EditionBears Know They Have Room to Improve Despite Matching Their Longest Winning Streak Since 2018
The Bears forced 15 of their league-leading 16 takeaways during the streak and rely on a strong running game despite quarterback struggles and penalty issues.
- The Chicago Bears are on a four-game winning streak and 4-2 after a 26-14 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, their best run in seven seasons.
- Takeaways and strong rushing performances fueled the streak, as Chicago defense forced 15 of its 16 takeaways in four games and Swift, running back and one-time Pro Bowler, posted a season-high 124 yards and a score.
- Offensive discipline remains an issue, with the Chicago offense committing nine penalties for 84 yards after Washington, and converting just 3 of 12 third downs as quarterback Caleb Williams threw for a season-low 172 yards.
- Coach Ben Johnson issued a direct warning, saying, `We have to get it all cleaned up. Good teams don't have so many self-inflicted wounds,` as the Bears prepare to face Baltimore on Sunday with injuries to Tyrique Stevenson.
- Missing a fifth consecutive win would keep comparisons to 2018 alive, as the Bears had the same 4-2 record last year before a 10-game tailspin and firing of Matt Eberflus.
