The Chicago Bears made the postseason last year and won the first postseason game they played under Ben Johnson over the Green Bay Packers. This was a major win for the franchise and sophomore quarterback Caleb Williams. Now expectations are high for the team to advance even further in the playoffs and for Williams and the offense to take another step forward.

The Panthers won their division somewhat by default last season. Someone had to win it, and it happened to be Carolina. To their credit, when they hosted the Rams, they gave Los Angeles all that the team could handle. It hasn’t been enough for Bryce Young to earn a new contract, but that’s what he will shoot for with a successful season this year. Can they earn another postseason berth in a winnable division? The march starts now!
