[Bears Facts @DaBearsTakeOver]

The Bears have a better QB than the reigning Super Bowl champs.

Caleb Williams is better than Sam Darnold in:

• EPA
• CPOE
• Passing Success Rate
• Explosive Play Rate
• Completion %
• Clean Pocket Completion %
• Completion % Without Blitz
• Completion % Under Pressure

Let that sink in. What a time to be alive.

@claytawn The Panthers just gave up 258 rushing yards to a Bucs team that had only ONE 100-yard rushing game all season before last week.

And that was against the Cowboys defense…

[Bears Facts @DaBearsTakeOver]

My prop nugget of the week for Thursday night’s Packers-Panthers Matchup:

Jordan Love’s passing yards line is set at 260.5.

He’s averaged just 238.4 passing yards over his last 5 games with Josh Jacobs playing.

The Panthers gave up 43 points last week, but allowed just 64 passing yards compared to 258 rushing yards.

I expect LaFleur to reestablish the ground game at home and Love to go under 260.5 passing yards.

@statyxio You never know what could happen on Thursday Night!

Jared Goff blew a 27-point lead in the NFC Championship Game with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

Jordan Love blew a 21-3 lead in last year’s playoffs.

Caleb Williams has TWO fourth-quarter comebacks in his first TWO playoff appearances.

Most Clutch QB in the NFL. 👑

@JacoboFoSho How many NFC North titles does Jordan Love have?

@DARNELLisWRIGHT Bears Facts 💯

[Bears Facts @DaBearsTakeOver]

Don’t underestimate the impact Coby Bryant can have on this defense.

A putrid Lions defense allowed a 51.6% pass success rate before Brian Branch returned.

Last week? 34.8% (6th best in NFL).

Chicago signed a Super Bowl Champ to a 3-year, $40M deal and he hasn’t even stepped on the field yet.

@The_GRoDT_View On schedule, December. Our defense could use it much faster!

@abreezzyy11 You mean DJ Moore gave up on his route

[Bears Facts @DaBearsTakeOver]

@Shawnmartipf95 The Roquan/Claypool indirectly helped us land Caleb Williams.

[Bears Facts @DaBearsTakeOver]

The Chargers should do right by Khalil Mack, just like Ryan Poles has done for his players.

Nearly every major trade during Poles’ tenure has sent players to better situations:

• Justin Fields → Passed on a better offer to give him a chance to start for the playoff-contending Steelers.
• Khalil Mack → Playoff-contending Chargers in LA
• Roquan Smith → Super Bowl-caliber Ravens
• Robert Quinn → 14-3 Eagles
• Chase Claypool → 11-6 playoff Dolphins
• DJ Moore → AFC powerhouse Bills
• Gervon Dexter —> loaded Falcons squad

At 0-6, the Chargers should be looking to get draft capital back while giving Mack another shot at a ring.

That’s what separates Poles. He doesn’t just make moves that benefit the Bears. He looks out for the players who wore the jersey, too.

@EdStojo Late round pick. The Chargers are not a playoff team this year.

[Bears Facts @DaBearsTakeOver]

@jimwolff12 That’s also irrelevant. A safety can lead his team in tackles and still be part of a great defense.

Multiple teams have made deep playoff runs and even reached the Super Bowl with a safety as their leading tackler.
