The Chicago Bears are gearing up for a critical matchup against the Washington Commanders after a Week 7 bye. Tight end Cole Kmet noted the team was ready for a break after an intense training camp.
Despite a series of minor injuries affecting their defensive backs, the Bears' defense remains strong, ranking sixth overall. Coach Matt Eberflus highlighted quarterback Caleb Williams' significant improvement, with nine touchdown passes in the last four games.
As they face tougher opponents, Kmet emphasized the need for the offense to refine their run and pass protection. The upcoming divisional games will be crucial as the Bears aim for a playoff push.
