The Chicago Bears have plenty of reasons to be excited about the 2024 NFL season. Having a franchise quarterback in Caleb Williams in his rookie season helps; it makes Chicago appointment television every week.
Williams is looking to end the franchise drought of cursed quarterbacks. Remember, no Bears quarterback has thrown for 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns in a season. Williams has a chance to accomplish this with his trio of wide receivers in rookie Rome Odunze and veterans Keenan Allen and D.J. Moore. The Bears offense will be intriguing to watch develop throughout the season, along with the growth of Williams at quarterback.
Oh, and the defense is pretty solid, too.
