The Bears have several players worthy of postseason accolades, a testament to an 8-3 record entering their Black Friday game in Philly.

Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards was still listed as a non-participant as he continues to deal with hand and hamstring injuries.

Caleb Williams had one of the ugliest plays of any quarterback this season — yet also threw for three touchdowns on Sunday. The defense also let the Steelers convert more than half of their first downs, raising legitimate questions about how real this eight-win team is.

Friday will be a homecoming for a Chicago Bears standout when the Philadelphia Eagles host the NFC North leaders at Lincoln Financial Field. Bears safety Kevin Byard was with the Eagles for less than a season, so he’s “not expecting a tribute video” at the Linc. But the Philadelphia native is looking forward to his return.

Instead, PFF's grades tilted heavily in favor of the Bears' offensive line, with guard Jonah Jackson leading the way with a 76.5 grade. Jackson exited the game with an eye injury after 45 snaps, but his body of work before his exit was good enough to lead the way.

The Black Friday game in Philadelphia might tell us how good the Bears really are, but for now, it's hard to doubt the progress.

Between his play-calling and the way he uses various skill players, Johnson has created a constant guessing game for opposing defenses.

In Week 13, on Thanksgiving, the Lions and Packers face off in a huge matchup that has major impacts on the playoff seeding for both teams. While the Lions and Packers will be directly impacted by the result, the Bears will also feel the effects of this matchup.
