Surging Bears are monsters of winning numerous ways

The message Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson hopes has been delivered is how confident his team has grown in its ability to win using whatever means are required.

The Bears have won about any way possible in taking nine of their last 10 games, including Friday’s 24-15 triumph over the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.

"There's no secret, man, there are no shortcuts,” Johnson said. “We've got to go out next week and put in the same amount of work that we've been doing and we've got to continue to get better.

“We're still not at what we're capable of being yet as an entire team, and so we're going to continue to strive to put that full 60 minutes of three phases of complete football together.”

They'll need to improve facing a schedule that includes the next two of three against their rivals, the Green Bay Packers.

The passing probably needs to be more consistent to keep their current five-game winning streak going, but it’s not as if the Bears have been winning only on the ground all year like they did Friday.

Against the Eagles, the Bears won with Kyle Monangai rushing for 130 yards and D’Andre Swift running for 125.
